Testimonials
Pete was a key speaker at our SCHC palliative care conference this past March 2023. Like the famous quote from the movie ‘Jerry McGuire’ Pete “had us at hello”. He spoke to a riveted audience of palliative care practitioners and volunteers who understand what connectedness means to someone living with a life threatening illness. Pete left us with a strong call to action to connect with others – strangers or someone we hadn’t connected with in ages. Thank-you Pete for sharing your message and your gift! If you haven’t booked Pete to speak at your event do it now! You won’t regret it!

Lynn Muir-Wheeler
Director – Scarborough Centre for Healthy CommunitiesIncredible, would be an understatement. I have never seen a presenter energize, captivate and inspire an audience like Pete (and I have seen a lot of presentations!). His ability to connect with any size crowd and communicate in a charismatic yet genuine way is amazing. Whether it is to students, business professionals, or fortunate 500 CEOS, Pete leaves the audience wanting more and inspired to make a difference. I would HIGHLY recommend Pete for any speaking engagement that aims to inform an audience on what social health is about, why human connection is vital to our happiness, and most importantly to learn about we can do to make a difference. He inspires change and will give the audience the roadmap to make it happen.

Leadership, Strategic Coach, SCNWe hired Pete Bombaci to lead a human connections session for our management team. Pete exceeded our expectations and was very professional in his approach and delivery. He did his research and researched our company, asked questions, and personalized his material and delivery to match our ethos and the purpose of our session. I would highly recommend Pete to any organization or group that is looking at strengthening their culture around the human connection and the power of connection.

Keith Taylor
Training Development ManagerPete was our keynote speaker at our Mental Health Awareness week at Coca Cola Canada in May 2021. In the middle of the pandemic, with a lot of our employees working from home, Pete and Genwell's key messages around 'human connection' really resonated with our employees. We received very positive feedback on Pete's presentation style, the content and his calls to action - easy next steps people can take everyday to improve their mental health. Pete was very effective in engaging our employees to take action for themselves! Thank you Pete!

Coca Cola, CanadaSocial connection is what I believe to be the MOST underrated and impactful skill that we all can cultivate to optimize our health and happiness. Pete's way of delivering the science and stats to an audience is captivating and digestible. He does so with ease, making it fun and as a result, the crowd was incredibly engaged. Not only is Pete an inspiring speaker, but his down to earth approach makes actionable steps approachable, even for the most introverted of us. A genuine pleasure to work with him and the GenWell team!
