The Power of Action: Transforming Mindsets, Businesses, and Lives
Peter Thurin is living proof that the smallest decisions can lead to the biggest transformations. A successful entrepreneur, international speaker, and founder of ‘Blackbelt in Excellence’, Peter has spent more than 20 years helping businesses and individuals achieve success by focusing on what they can do, rather than what they can’t.
His journey to excellence wasn’t built on luck but on action. At 36, after decades of putting it off, Peter made a simple yet powerful decision, to finally pursue his lifelong dream of earning a black belt in Taekwondo. That moment changed everything. Today, as a 3rd Dan Black Belt, he applies the same discipline, resilience, and determination to business and leadership, inspiring audiences around the world to take ownership of their goals, one step at a time.
With an extensive background in business, owning, building, and selling multiple successful ventures, including pharmacies, Peter understands firsthand the challenges leaders face. He’s also represented Australia internationally in tennis, coached Australian Rules Football, and built a reputation as a dynamic, high-energy speaker who delivers engaging, real-world insights with impact.
Through Blackbelt in Excellence, Peter specialises in transformational keynote presentations, high-impact team-building through martial arts principles, leadership coaching and mentoring, and conferences, seminars, and workshops designed to spark action. His presentations help businesses and companies to better understand their employees and clients, promoting improved relationships and effective end results.
Peter’s philosophy is simple but powerful: Easy to do. Easy not to do. Your choice!® His engaging presentations leave audiences with a renewed sense of purpose, armed with the tools and mindset needed to drive real change, both personally and professionally.
