A Skippers Briefing following the keynote - to a select group of executives (14 or less is most effective) that have heard the keynote. This is a very effective and sought after tool that provides the vehicle for drawing from the group what they learnt from the keynote and how will they implement it – it is not about Neal – it is about Neal challenging them and pushing them to think outside the box. Neal never comes to the meal with an agenda ~ the agenda creates itself with the questions asked by the guests. The group will learn to be more creative in problem solving their daily challenges and how they will implement what they learned from the keynote into their everyday activities.

Neal Petersen's “No Barriers – Only Solutions” keynote addresses adversity, diversity, childhood physical handicap, poverty and the need to excel with accountability and responsibility - not only for today, but, for the next generation. Neal is a sought-after guest speaker at the College of Charleston's International Business and Economics Program – he is a well-travelled global investor, lived in various parts of the world, has homes globally and understands many cultures.

Neal demonstrates how success is realized-through innovation, balancing risk against return and being flexible enough to adapt to constant shifting winds. Neal has "wowed" international audiences with his life story and how he relates and connects it to their challenges, which end with rave reviews and rousing standing ovations. Petersen shares how his courage to dream, dedication to a plan, perseverance, and help from others, enables him to reach his goals. His story of hope, resilience and accomplishment is brilliantly delivered, truly inspiring and reflects a powerful message - In Life There are No Barriers ~ Only Solutions!"

Neal has delivered keynotes at multiple events for IBM, AIG, Cisco, Mars, Microsoft, Intel, Mass Mutual, Prudential and MDRT and many other top tier corporations/associations globally.
