Professor Pete Alexander

I am a results-based coach who helps hard-driving leaders overcome their self-imposed barriers to success using clever approaches to stress relief.

During my career, I have had the privilege to work in a variety of Sales and Marketing roles. Each role had one thing in common - high stress - to the point I was diagnosed with stress-related diabetes and also ended up in the hospital with a severe case of diabetic ketoacidosis, a few hours away from being comatose.

It was a reality check for me. When you don’t have your health, not much else matters. I knew it was time for me to walk away even though I had a great job, secure income, and good benefits. Interestingly, my coworkers and peers were very supportive and the majority of them told me they admired my decision to put my health first before my career because they were contemplating the same thing. I realized then that it wasn’t just me, and now I have dedicated my professional career to helping other Sales and Marketing professionals avoid my mistakes and immensely benefit from the wonderful tools and techniques I have learned and experienced first-hand.
