WHO IS Peita D?
What happens when you combine an Actuarial Degree with 20 years
of tap dancing training? A geek that loves to present on stage!
With over 20 years in the financial services
industry, and the last 10 as a practising financial
adviser, Peita has been most valued for her
ability to take complex situations and break
them down to their fundamentals. This started
during her career in Investment Banking,
briefing international clients on their bids for
local infrastructure projects and continued
with her transition into financial advice and
mortgage broking helping young couples
looking to buy their first home. This breadth
of experience led her to the realisation that in
money, just like in life, the simplest approaches
yield the best results and culminated in the
release of her first book ‘Finance Action Hero,
Book 1: Basic Training’ in May 2014, with the
followup ‘Finance Action Hero, Part 2: Mission
Possible’ released in September 2016.
Utilising a background in Actuarial Studies
(financial mathematicians that make
accountants look hip and groovy), Peita has
developed a keen interest in the science of
Applied Innovation - the adoption of innovative
business and service models,
the development of innovative products
and technologies and the engagement
of the public in more innovative ways.
The combination of her passion for
communicating and her interest in applied
innovation have led her on a never ending
journey to find ideas, widgets and new fangled
ways of bringing the financial services industry
and the Australian public closer together.
This started with presentations and workshops
for professional services firms looking to better
engage their current clients, and keep up with
the ever evolving technology options they
had available to them. However over time, it
became clear that the larger challenge was
engaging with the silent majority - the over 80%
of the public who wander passively through life,
rarely engaging with their money, and certainly
never feeling confident enough to jump into
life feet first. Peita then realised she is in the
unique position of being able to use humour
and storytelling to inspire the public to chase
after their dreams, and in the process get their
money stuff sorted.
Fun, frank and endlessly energetic, Peita can
take the driest of topics and turn it into a new
adventure, arming your audience with
the tools they need to feel confident
and leaving them with no doubt
how to take that first step.
The truth is, Peita hides her secret identity as a Jedi
behind her identity as a new form of ‘geek’ hybrid -
maths and finance nerdiness combined with a passion
for communicating that has her on a mission to give
the Australian public their financial confidence back. 2PEITA DIAMANTIDIS

Whether addressing self employed business professionals, C level executives,
front line staff or special interest groups, Peita adjusts her insights and storytelling

KEYNOTE
Ever felt like a hamster caught on a wheel? Going from work
to home and back again in a never ending cycle without any
real direction or purpose? Then welcome to
the In Search of Adventure Tour!
When we are stuck in this survival mode, is it any wonder that
we struggle to knock off the things we know we should do -
get fit, meditate, get on top of our finances... take a break?
In this keynote presentation, the vivacious Peita D shares
the secret to switching ourselves from surviving into thriving
mode, and then puts us through the 5 steps of
the Dream Muscle Bootcamp, before letting us out into
a world where we will have the tools to turn our dreams
into real life adventures!
BEST SUITED FOR:
Events that are looking for their inspirational sessions to
be energetic, yet rooted in reality - providing actions their
attendees can implement immediately.

BREAKOUT SESSION
As we lean into an adventurous life, the first two key skills
we need to tap back into are our courage and our curiosity.
However as we reignite those and start seeing the world that
exists outside of our human hamster cage, the next challenge
to successfully living a life full of adventure is money.
Not our knowledge or understanding of it, but our money
habits - how we relate to, collect or ignore money on a
day to day basis and the impact that has on our freedom
to choose our next adventure.
This session aims to provide insights into how our behaviours
rather than our knowledge power our financial confidence,
and how connecting money to adventure can help us shift
our money mindset from one of avoidance and confusion
towards enthusiasm and determination . Peita also steps
through small actions each of us can take now to learn
new habits, change our mindset and ultimately live a life
of financial freedom and adventure.
BEST SUITED FOR:
Events that are looking for a breakout session to complement
the Action Hero keynote. Unlike most personal finance
discussions, this session isn’t about technical knowledge
but is instead all about the small actions we can take to
break out of survival mode, and begin to thrive.

TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOP
The Adventure Connection workshop approaches team
building by acknowledging that individuals become teams
when they can see the world from another’s perspective.
This transforms their awareness of their colleagues from that
of a name with a title into the diverse and eclectic individuals
they each are.
During the session, this understanding is facilitated by first
focusing on the individual, switching them from surviving into
thriving mode, by rediscovering how to dream and walking
them through the 5 steps of the Dream Muscle Bootcamp -
a world where we are constantly turning our dreams into
real life adventures! Sharing some of their dreams often
results in team members stepping up to support their
colleagues to realise their dreams both career and personal.
As their creativity and courage is ignited, Peita also
demonstrates how the techniques they are learning can
be applied to the generation and implementation of ideas
in the business - changing transformation from a chore to
the exciting challenge it should be.
BEST SUITED FOR:
Businesses or departments who find that more often than
not, team building exercises induce eye rolls rather than
high fives, and are looking for a workshop that will break
this cycle and provide both personal benefit to the individual
and enthusiasm to the team as a whole.

THE ADVENTURE CONNECTION5
BREAKOUT SESSION
When you attend a session encouraging creativity in
your staff, do you struggle to imagine this working for
any team outside of marketing or design? What about
customer support, human resources... or even accounts?
How could you possibly implement these concepts in
areas where creativity is the last thing people are hired
with or rewarded for?
In this session Peita shares the habits we can build to make
idea generation and implementation a fundamental part of
the way in which our team operates. The secret is to switch
the team from surviving into thriving mode, starting first
with encouraging curiosity and wonder, and then having
a structured and consistent way of collecting the team’s
ideas. As the team begin to see their suggestions being
considered and even investigated as possibilities, their
Imagination Capital grows, as does their willingness, even
their enthusiasm for change.
Full of practical tips and tools to assist, this session provides
a step by step framework to develop your team’s Imagination
Capital, with actions you can take the minute you are back in
the office.
BEST SUITED FOR:
Team leaders who see the need for their business and their
team to embrace change, but struggle with how this can
be embedded in the day to day operations. They want to
be provided with tips to turn inspiration and creativity into
practical, easy to implement skills and behaviours.

KEYNOTE
Ever felt like a hamster caught on a wheel? Going from work
to home and back again in a cycle of crisis management
that never seems to end? When we are stuck in this survival
mode, is it any wonder that we struggle to think outside
the box, to question how things have always been done at
the office... to dream? Once we get into this state, we often
lose the ability to tap into our imaginations altogether, and
innovation or transformation becomes a chore rather than
the exciting challenge it should be.
In this session Peita shares the secret to switching ourselves
from surviving into thriving mode, starting first in our personal
lives with the concept of Living Life like an Action Hero - a
world where we are constantly turning our dreams into real
life adventures. The Imagination Capital we have tapped into
by building our Dream Muscle lends to greater creativity, and
more flexibility at work. By shifting our brains (and hearts)
into thriving mode, then change and transformation become
another adventure to enrich us as individuals, rather than an
external business force we simply need to respond to.
Is your business ensuring your staff have all they need to
embrace change and take the business to the next level? If not,
you might find you need to invest in your Imagination Capital.
BEST SUITED FOR:
Industries and individuals who are facing significant change
now and in the future, and are keen to do all they can to
make that experience exciting and challenging rather than
simply traumatic.

“Facts are, most public forums are stiff and boring.
I’m not entirely sure why. It’s almost an unwritten
mandatory requirement. If you intend to follow this
trend, please do not include Peita. She will ruin it.
She will use her wit and charm, and her rather
compelling personality to turn your event into a
comfortable and relaxed affair. Very rarely do you
find the type of person who can carry the responsibility
of a great event in their stride. Peita is that rare type
of person.”
Clayton Daniel, XY Adviser
“Peita Diamantidis first presented at our National
Summit at the beginning of the year, and we later
invited her back to present recently at our National
Conference. Peita is passionate about financial
planning and our financial advisers love the enthusiasm
and authenticity that she brings to her presentations
and conversations. Her presentations are of a high
calibre and have some great practical outcomes
for attendees.”
Simone Munro, Fortnum Financial Advisers
“Peita’s presentation embraced a tremendous
combination of knowledge, insights and breaking the
complex down into the simple. It meant everyone could
walk away remembering something they need to be
thinking about and something they need to be doing.”
Sue Linney, Australian Institute of Project Management
“Peita Diamantidis is a rare gem on the speaking circuit
as a presenter who is both entertaining and has an
expert grasp of issues relating to personal finance,
investment, superannuation and innovation within the
broader financial system. Having survived in the old
school world of investment banking and transformed
into a consumer advocate, Peita is not afraid to tell
stories from personal experience and to offer her
well-earned opinions. Highly recommended.”
Aleks Vickovich, Managing Editor, Momentum Media
“Peita’s involvement on the “Marketing Makeover”
session of the Professional Planner/FPA Best Practice
Forum in 2017 was a highlight, providing advisers with
insights into so-called Millennials and what makes
them tick. Her research into what Millennials regard as
“the perfect financial adviser” gave delegates clear and
practical ideas on where and how to find Millennials as
clients, and then how to engage with them. It’s all about
revealing the adviser as a “real person” - someone
with experience, but who can also share stories and
create lasting connections. Her ability to do that with
her own Millennial clients is reflected in her ability to
communicate with her industry peers and colleagues.”
Simon Hoyle, Editor-at-large, Conexus Financial
“Thank you Peita for your great interactive presentation
at the recent Centrepoint Alliance Christmas PD
Day. It planted a seed to how practices can build
an edge to their business by enhancing their current
“traditional financial planning” offering. Your step-by-
step introduction to building out the adviser’s niche and
simple guide to planning out the client engagement
process makes it simple to get started. Looking forward
to a new community of better engaged and financially
confident advice clients as a result of this.”
Eliane Sze, Business Consultant,
Centrepoint Alliance
“Peita is insightful, engaging and entertaining;
a terrific communicator in a variety of formats.
I love an event Peita is involved in and have no
hesitation in recommending her to you.”

Whether connecting with business
professionals, or directly with
the public, Peita is not shy of
showcasing her quirky sense of
humour to ensure the elephant
in the room, that unspoken
challenge everyone in the audience
is aware of, is brought to light and
then addressed in a fun
but empathetic way.
Some of the best breakthroughs
in business, and in life, have come
from challenging conventional
thinking. Peita encourages
her audience to step away
from the indoctrination and
use their imagination.
As likely to make fun of herself,
as to point out the humour in a
ridiculous business situation,
Peita brings a warm irreverence
to the stories she uses to convey
key messages in her presentations.
Much of the real magic for an
audience is when they can
challenge the presenter and
brainstorm a solution to their
problem. Peita thrives in this
environment, and loves the
different resonance this can
deliver to each audience.
While a geek and proud,
Peita’s experience has taught
her that smarts simply aren’t
enough, and that empathy
and imagination are where
the magic really happens.
Peita knows where the hard
work is really done - the
event and AV team! Peita
will do everything she can to
ensure things go smoothly
leading up to and during
the event and is keen to
understand any ways she
can contribute to maximise
your event’s success.
The power of inspiration
is measured not by the
audience’s response at the
end, but by the actions they
take following. Peita ensures
her sessions balance the
inspirational energy with the
practical tools to maximise
the likelihood of influencing
real change.

PEITA IS THE HOST OF
her own show:
As the host of the In Search of Adventure Show, Peita is
on a mission to reignite your curiosity for an extraordinary
life, so you can take back control of your own story!
Have you ever felt stuck? Somehow caught in a cycle of work, home, work, home that never seems to end?
You feel like you’ve lost your mojo and sometime during this whole “being an adult thing” you stopped being
in the driver’s seat and just accepted your hamster wheel existence?
Well, here at the In Search of Adventure Show, we want to get you out of your hamster wheel, and into the
world of ADVENTURE! It turns out that adventures don’t need to be limited to your annual holiday, so our aim
is to get you to the point where you seek & find adventure each & everyday. By lighting your spark of curiosity,
you will find yourself instilled with a new sense of wonder that will see you taking back control of the narrative
of your life, and truly being the HERO of your own story.
The main segment of the show is where we interview everyday people who have lived extraordinary
adventures. The adventures we cover aren’t just about travel, but include new things you might want to learn,
experiences to have, or even new careers to consider. Our aim is for these interviews to represent a very
eclectic bunch of cool stuff you might want to add to your own dream list. We also include some practical
tips to keep your Action Hero skills sharp and throw in some movie reviews that might inspire other future
adventures too.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A
Live Podcasting Corner
FOR YOUR EVENT?
Following one of Peita’s keynotes at your event, watching a live podcast can be a fresh, new way to continue
the adventure theme for your attendees. It can add variety to your expo hall or breakout space and can be
an opportunity to connect to your audience at a different level. The Live Podcasting Corner can also double
as a chill out space with beanbags and seats for people who want to retreat from the crowd, and wireless
headphones for those that want to listen to the live interviews. Attendee’s would have the opportunity to share
their own extraordinary adventures in short but engaging interviews with Peita, with those that simply watch
and listen, getting to see themselves in their shared adventurous spirit. This is also an opportunity to profile your
team who can also take part in the interviews during the day.
Peita is happy to work with suppliers like Silent Sounds Australia to deliver a unique, fun and interactive
experience for your next event.
