"You'll never amount to anything."

As a child, Peter J. Bissonnette heard these words. And made it his mission to prove the naysayers wrong.

In Count on Me: My Life, Lessons, and Legacy as Former President of Shaw Communications, Peter shares his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most respected leaders in Canadian telecommunications.

Peter's journey took him from English boarding school to seminary, from the military to living with his fashion-designer uncle in Vancouver, and ultimately to the corporate world, where his determination and faith propelled him up the ladder of success.

With candour and insight, Peter shares the leadership lessons he learned, his personal and professional challenges, and the triumphs that defined his career. From navigating boardroom deals to working alongside industry pioneers like JR Shaw and Ted Rogers, Peter offers an insider's perspective on the dynamic world of Canadian telecommunications.

But this autobiography is more than a corporate success story. It's an honest account of the mistakes, resilience, and personal growth that shaped a life defined by purpose and perseverance.

Count on Me challenges us to look beyond surface judgments, showing how strength, faith, and determination can defy expectations—and change the trajectory of a life.
