Moments that Matter
Covid broke all the rules of the events and conference game, and when the phone calls started on 13th March 2020, with cancellation after cancellation, the future for Peakward Ltd, Stanmore Bay-based speaking, performance, and event business, looked bleak.
But they’d come too far to give up. Starting again from zero, Greg, with his 50% shareholder wife Linda, reimagined and set the stage for the rebuild of their business in the space of 3 weeks from the first lockdown. A few short years later they have continued to go from strength to strength with a rising amount of turnover sourced from across the Tasman.
But the story didn’t start with Covid. Greg Ward shares his highs and lows across multiple industries and business, within New Zealand and further afield in our first get-together of the year.
Moments that Matter explores resilience, innovation, and the entrepreneur spirit, and offers an inspiring start to 2024.
Cost: $26.50 - Members | $40.50 - Non-Members
About Greg Ward
As a professional MC (live and virtual), speaker, performer and event consultant, Greg Ward has presented at over 1,000 events both live and via video into more than 35 countries, impacting more than half a million people across his career since 1998.
Although his first love is music, Greg embarked on a brief, four-year military career, followed by a slightly longer IT one up to the point he could no longer resist the lure of the stage. Retraining as an actor, classical singer and improviser, Greg built a business in TV and national and international events, leading from the front of the room using his honed performance and communication skills.
Greg enjoys being an undercover and unsung success. He’s also quite proud of being able to live here in Whangaparaoa, from where he travels to, or broadcasts himself to the world.
