ABOUT PETE CLARK

EXECUTIVE COACH / THE WHISPERS GUY 

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
It’s one of my favourite quotes — for much of my life, it’s been true.

The lessons I needed were always around me. It just took time, and sometimes pain, to be ready to hear them.

At 10 years old, I lost my father in a tragic car accident — the worst thing that's ever happened to me. 

I was supposed to be with him that day. At the last minute, my mum said no — the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Only years later could I hold those two truths at once and begin to understand how adversity could shape growth.

Recovery wasn’t a straight line. It rarely is. I struggled, stumbled, and slowly discovered that the setbacks I endured weren’t setbacks, they were invitations. Invitations to listen, to learn, and eventually, to lead.

One of the first whispers that changed me came from a book: Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
It helped me glimpse a version of myself I didn’t yet know how to become. That quiet whisper sparked a lifelong passion to explore what it means to perform, to grow, and to lead a life aligned with potential, not just circumstance.

Today, as an executive coach and mindset agitator, I work with leaders who know they’re capable of more - not just professionally, but personally. I partner with people ready to close the gap between who they are today and who they could become tomorrow.

Leadership isn’t a set of skills. It’s a reflection of your identity, your mindset, and your willingness to grow - even when it’s uncomfortable.

My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and challenge.

I’m not here to fix you. You’re not broken.

I'm here to help you in listening to the whispers you’ve been ignoring — and to turn them into action.

Because at the end of it all, "The definition of hell is: Your last day on Earth; the person you became meets the person you could have become". This quote stops me in my tracks every time.
