International Men’s Day isn’t about “men vs women”. It’s about seeing the silent load many men carry, mental health, pressure, isolation, and reminding them they’re allowed to ask for help. Check in on someone today. And please share if this might help others. #InternationalMensDay #lawyersofbluesky

A former client reached out to share they’ve just been promoted — and that our coaching helped them stay grounded and focused along the way. Messages like this remind me why I do what I do. Their success is theirs alone, but I’m honoured to have supported the journey. #pgcc #success

Baked my first-ever apple pie today! It looks chaotic but tastes amazing. A good reminder that growth begins with simply trying something new, imperfections and all. Steak & kidney pie next… eventually! #lawyersofbluesky

Restlessness comes when life is full but not centred.
Realign your values, purpose, and actions — and the noise quiets.

Spoke at Rotary Raleigh with Col. Kirk Warner on Remembrance & Veterans Day. Thank you, Doug Kline & Eddie Coleman, for your support. Tomorrow, we will plant an oak in Oakwood Cemetery for all who served. 🌳

Temptation, Accusation, and Deception — Lessons in Leadership
Temptation tests integrity. Accusation shakes self-belief. Deception distorts clarity.

Inspired by today’s C-Suite for Christ Raleigh-Durham event with Lovell Casiero, author of Lead Like a Girl. A reminder that authentic leadership is built on purpose, courage, and grace. #lawyersofbluesky #leadership #faithinbusiness

I heard my friend Eva Kang from North State Bank speak today about leasing vs. buying property, business credit, and smart financing. Clear, practical, and generous with her expertise, an outstanding speaker and partner. #NorthStateBank #BusinessFinance

The only ghosts worth fearing are the “what ifs.” Fear means you’re alive enough to care. Move through it. That’s courage. 👻🎃

October dip invites scams. We got the full fake: controller email + invoice + W-9 + ACH-only. Red flags: domain mismatch, no SOW/PO, bank change via email. Use standard rails + callback verification. BBB toolkit: scamsurvivaltoolkit.bbbmarketplacetrust.org #fraud

Sunday Thoughts: My March 2021 injury still knocks; last week, I paused. Profit is fuel; culture is the road. Choose both: private good, honest motives, steady habits. Design recovery in. That’s how results last. petergourri.com

Leadership is planting a tree you’ll never see mature — believing in the forest to come. 🌳

Proud to support the Rotary Club of Raleigh’s Oak City 250 campaign, planting 250 oaks to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

This morning at Leads One I spoke on Turning Breakdowns into Breakthroughs. 📸 Thanks to Michelle Doeffinger & Kellie Bradley for the photos! Leaders can turn overload, conflict, financial stress & scattered growth into clarity, confidence & success. 👉 www.petergourri.com #pgcc

October 7, 2023, stands out as a day marked by division and animosity. Yet, innocence is universal, transcending faith or lack thereof—Jewish, Muslim, Christian, or Atheist. At Allenby Crossing, strangers, irrespective of identity, showed kindness, proving that our shared humanity unites us. #Unity

I didn’t post this yesterday, but some thoughts deserve to be shared whenever they’re ready:

👉 Who do we want to be in this moment?

Leadership is choosing compassion, courtesy, and clarity, even when life gets busy.

Wishing my Jewish friends a peaceful Yom Kippur. May it be a day of reflection, healing, and hope. Holding in prayer those affected by the attempted attack in Manchester, and grateful for the protection of those who kept others safe.

I was 48 when I learned I was dyslexic. What I thought was weakness became strength: big-picture thinking & clarity. This Dyslexia Awareness Month, remember—your difference may be your advantage.

At a networking event, my friend Kelly Bradley suggested that I ask AI to describe me based on my work over the past six months. The answer? Humbled me: “Sharp strategist, trusted advisor, empathetic leader.” Sometimes reflection—whether human or digital—shows us what we can’t see. #pgcc
