Peter Fletcher’s business philosophy is based on his belief that we learn about who we are at the limits of what we believe is possible.
From an early age Peter began challenging himself to do that which others thought impossible. Peter grew up on a sheep and cattle farm in Jerdacuttup, Western Australia where he was the first person to ride a horse to his primary school; a distance of 27 kilometres (16 miles).
After moving to Kalgoorlie, where he married Rita in 1985, he began selling real estate. In 1989 he moved to Perth and bought into a run down real estate business. Through hard work, determination and the commitment of a dedicated team he built a successful business that was at the forefront of technological and management practices.
Through the growth of the business Peter continued to stretch himself at both a personal and professional level. In 2000 Peter graduated with a Master of Business Administration from Edith Cowan University then, in 2005, along with two mates, rode their bicycles from Kalgoorlie to Perth – a distance of 600 kilometres – in 19 hours, 6 minutes. He has skydived, abseiled, para-sailed and para-bungeed, and participated in numerous self-development courses.
In 2006 Peter sold his business and enrolled full-time at Curtin University. By the end of the following year he graduated with a Post Graduate Diploma in Internet Studies. A year later he graduated with first class honours in a Bachelor of Arts.
He reads widely. From the Zen master Tich Naht Hahn to the French philosopher Michel Foucault Peter believes that learning helps us to see more clearly and to create elegant and inspired business solutions.
Today Peter consults to business about the effects of social media on organisational culture and performance.
