Peter Johnson

Principal at The Time Retriever coaching and training enterprise, Peter is a testament to a well managed life. For nearly 30 years, in senior management roles and running several businesses, Peter was seen by his staff and colleagues as someone who has 'mastered time'. Shortage of time is the battle cry for many, whether in their business or personal lives.

"There are only 24 hours in a day. I just can't get it all done," appeared to be the number one complaint everywhere he worked. Because he was better than most, his staff and colleagues would ask for his advice in how they could better manage theirs. After years of coaching dozens of people, he turned his experience, expertise and passion into a viable business. Peter is now a much sought after coach, trainer and speaker. There are no secrets to successful time management.

You can't add hours to the day, but you can learn to prioritize, develop effective ways to say no to distractions and interruptions, take charge of your life and accomplish the things that really matter. Peter enjoys helping others get out of poor time habits and bring huge improvements to their work and their lives. His engaging presentations espouse the principles that make him an effective coach and trainer. His relaxed and interactive style makes him an commanding and influential speaker.

As a business coach

In both one on one and group sessions, our coaching is designed to improve business structures and strategies, so you can focus on being the business, not running the business. Based on proven productivity indicators, we help you develop the action plans to manage both the daily and long-term objectives of your business and personal life. 

As a trainer/facilitator

The training is driven by the knowledge gained from years of listening to clients and staff and hearing the same complaints about 'not getting it done'. Running a business requires skills that are different from managing people. Learning the difference and maintaining a balance is what gives you 'time' to do both well. That's what our programs are about.  And we take the time to do it well.

As a Speaker

Peter's focus is on the success factors needed to effectively manage your time and your life. Time management is the catch all for the need for control. But without the foundational skills of self management and using available resources, both people and tools, just ticking off a 'to do list' becomes a waste of time. In talks and workshops, participants develop the skills to change habits and patterns.

Testimonial:

"Peter Johnson of The Time Retriever presented at our 2014 and 2015 conferences on the subjects of both time management and marketing. He is a warm and engaging presenter with a very strong knowledge base and a wealth of experience to provide real life examples to his audience. Delegates who have attended Peter's sessions have overwhelmingly given positive feedback and have gone on to engage Peter in a private capacity. I have found Peter a delight to work with and a valuable addition to our conference programs. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter." Philippa Valder, Australian Childcare Alliance Victoria
