Kevin Roberts – Building a Personal and Business Brand Your Clients Will LoveFriday 1st April 4.15pm – 5.15pm

More About Peter Peter Baines is one of Australia’s pioneering ‘Socialprenuers’ having founded the fastest growing boutique charity in the country, Hands Across the Water.

Peter is still answering questions, but they are around providing homes for kids who have lost their parents and how to make that sustainable. He believes that the lessons apply to individuals as much as they do to organisations. Today Peter helps businesses build effective Sustainable Leadership programs through the unique mix of his leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. His CSR platforms create goodwill, staff engagement and sustainable change. He also continues to lead the Hands Across the Water team in supporting their Thai orphanages.
