Lucy Perry is rule breaker, idea maker and communicator.

She ran a successful creative services firm for 20 years before she took on the start-up challenge as founding CEO of a brand new women’s health charity. In less than three years at the helm, Lucy built the team and the communication strategy which raised $7M for the work in Ethiopia of legendary Australian obstetrician Dr Catherine Hamlin. Lucy now uses her super powers for writing and speaking about leadership, communication, changing the world and creative thinking. 

Lucy is also a consultant to not for profits and corporates on killer communication and successful social media.

Lucy is an inspirational and passionate speaker whose presentation style is fast-paced and entertaining. Her subject matter includes broader business, leadership, team building, motivation, communication, social media and career inspiration for conferences and events where delegates are ready to be inspired to make a difference and literally change themselves and the world. Her audiences vary from sales teams and executives to students and medical professionals, social media professionals, bankers and government policy developers. She’s been known to make grown men cry but brings humour to the horror on a roller coaster that leaves her audience ready to conquer.

Peter has road tested leadership the hard way having served 22 years with the NSW Police.  He headed up multiple rotations into Thailand leading international teams in the identification process of those who died in the Tsunami.  All the time his leadership theories were tested in this trying environment. Creating sustainable leadership became a passion of his after witnessing the devastating effects of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.  Today Hands has built two orphanages, purchased a rubber plantation to ensure sustainable and regular income, constructed a medical and community centre in the Khao Lak region of Thailand and is currently working towards the construction of a HIV Paediatrics Hospital in the North East of Thailand.   

His final years with the NSW Police were spent on secondment to the National Institute of Forensic Science where he worked on national and international capacity building projects around counter terrorism and leadership.  He spent time advising Interpol in France and the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime in South East Asia.  

Peter has received various awards including the Order of Australia Medal for his international humanitarian work in 2014, Australian of the Year NSW Finalist for 2010, Thought Leaders Socialpreneur of the year 2008 and being the first Australian to be awarded the international honour of a Rotary Professional Excellence Award in 2008. 

He completed university studies in Law, Forensic Science and post graduate studies in Management. He received the NSW Police Service Medal and the Australian Federal Police Operations Medal, for his work in Asia.  He was the first NSW Police Officer to be awarded the Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal and Australian National Medal. 

Today Peter spends his time helping businesses build effective Sustainable Leadership programs through the unique mix of his leadership and corporate social responsibility initiatives.  He continues to lead the Hands Across the Water team in supporting their orphanages.
