the accidental accountant<\/a>.<\/p>\npeter found his true calling in improv, embracing the yes! and\u2026 approach and incorporating the principles of improv into his wide-ranging career as a speaker, writer, and consultant. his three books, improv is no joke, taking the numb out of numbers, <\/em>and off script,<\/em> all demonstrate how improv can be applied to business and life situations to improve communication and develop creative, collaborative solutions. he also hosted a podcast, first under the name improv is no joke and later as change your mindset, where he interviewed industry greats such as tom hood and jody padar.<\/p>\nwhile peter was proud of earning his cpa, he was perhaps even prouder when he earned his csp (certified speaking professional) from the national speakers association.<\/p>\n
when i last collaborated with peter, he had found a new dream job as the first director of the school of accounting communications center at oklahoma state university\u2019s spears school of business. in that position, he was able to combine his loves of accounting, public speaking, and education. the purpose of that new program was to \u201cprovide students at the undergrad and master\u2019s levels with a deeper dive into the power skills, especially communications skills, they will need to thrive in a fast-paced environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
peter\u2019s deeply human approach, combining improv, humor, and accounting in our high-tech, ai-driven world, will be sorely missed. his ability to connect deeply and instantly with people of all kinds was a rare gift. may you rest in peace, dear friend.<\/p>\n
