Get in touchCoaching Style
Paul has and continues to Coach Executives at the highest level and across all sectors. He helps Executives navigate the current Economic, Social and Governmental shifts which show up in businesses as complexity, volatility, conflict and exponential change. These demands require businesses to repeatedly transform themselves, which in turn places a huge and unexpected burden upon its leaders and Executives. At the heart of his approach in this context, is exploring the need for the Executive to transform themselves in order to both personally understand transformation and to lead for the same in their own teams/business. Paul is a proponent of Vertical Development, used to make sense of and Navigate these key Leadership shifts.
Paul’s personal coaching approach and style is based on positive psychology and Gestalt – challenging clients to explore existing demands and ambitions in the context of their broader life journey or ‘purpose’. Beyond this, he is a natural architect, which he combines with his coaching to help his clients with their teams, infrastructure and to create a strong platform for growth.
