Peter Geddes’s expertise wasn't learned in a classroom; it was forged over a 17-year career as a frontline Fire & Rescue Officer and Leadership Trainer. Today, as the founder of Journey Partners, he translates those life-or-death lessons on risk, leadership, and human factors into the language of the boardroom, making him one of Australia’s most proven safety culture experts.

For US companies in high-stakes industries, the challenge isn't just compliance—it's breaking through performance plateaus and managing profound operational risk. Whether you’re in Mining & Metals, Heavy Manufacturing, Construction & Large-Scale Engineering, or Energy & Utilities, Peter delivers metric-driven results. As a key member of the team that designed BHP Minerals’ flagship 5-day Safety Leadership program, he helped set new standards for one of the world's largest resources companies.

His track record is defined by quantifiable success. With one major client, his culture-change process delivered a 50% reduction in injury rates in the first three years, followed by another 50% reduction in the next phase, turning the company into an industry leader. His partnerships with global leaders like PACT Group and Centennial Coal have been instrumental in achieving significant injury reductions.

As a keynote speaker, Peter doesn't just motivate; he provides a strategic blueprint for change. His powerful "firefighter to boardroom" narrative provides audiences with a compelling new framework for viewing safety—not as a cost to be managed, but as a core driver of operational excellence, profitability, and a world-class business.
