Our Speaker

Peter Varey – Productivity and Workload-Management Specialist, Taming the Tiger Academy

Peter is a seasoned productivity and workload-management expert with over 25 years of experience across both the public and private sectors, including 15 years in local government. Having witnessed the overwhelming digital demands of high email volumes, back-to-back meetings, and constant distractions, Peter developed practical systems and habits to regain control of his work, improve focus, and reduce cognitive overload. His success in transforming his own work processes led him to partner with his council’s Organisational Development team to run training sessions for colleagues.

Now, as the founder of Taming the Tiger Academy, Peter’s mission is to help public-sector leaders and department directors regain control of their delivery in environments designed to distract and overwhelm. His long-term goal is to create a world where local government teams operate in digital work environments that align with the natural functioning of human attention—fostering clearer, more focused workflows and enabling staff to concentrate on what truly matters.
