Pete Machalek is the resident Communications Specialist and Message Designer of SagePresence. Holding two degrees in communications, Pete has a unique vantage on how human beings package information into compelling messages that inspire audiences, lead them forward, and move them towards decisive action.
Having begun his career as an introverted filmmaker who got into film because he wanted to say important things without having to talk directly to people, Pete has evolved into a speaker who is both uniquely dynamic and undeniably real and down-to-earth. He connects with audiences on an “every-man” level, then leaves them inspired and excited with the singularly powerful techniques of SagePresence.
Pete’s speaking style is particularly interactive, naturally leaning towards conversation and facilitation in a way that maximizes audience engagement, involvement, and information retention. He is intuitive and flexible, with the ability to improvisationally change content to conform to the needs of the audience.
Pete specializes in presentations about message design, forging inspiring connections, using story to design compelling futures, and improvisationally applying the technology of SagePresence to unforeseen and often surprising venues.
