About
Discover how to live healthily in every respect – primarily through developing a genuinely healthy work / life balance. My clients learn how to focus on key areas of life that are frequently neglected such as family relationships and creating time to think deeply.
This helps them to come to a fresh understanding of themselves, enabling them to be released into their true potential.
I help people who struggle to find quality time with their loved ones learn to strike a sustainable work/life balance, and in the process, actually create time to focus on their true priorities at work and at home.
Typically, my clients are senior managers and directors who work hard in their roles and then do their best to juggle their home life alongside this. As you probably know yourself, this is often far from easy. My job is to help my clients strike a sustainable healthy work/life balance that enables them to truly enjoy the fruit of their labour without burning out early.
The type of results we achieve together are: usually, a lot less stress at the same time as an overall improvement in their performance at work. My clients become less like managers and more like leaders.
Career background:
Having worked primarily in sales, as well as broadcast media over many years, I have built up a vast inventory of experience, working with a wide variety of people – young and old, rich and famous, workaholics and alcoholics. Of the many things I have learned, one thing stands out more than anything; and that is, it doesn’t matter how much money you earn or success you achieve, if it comes at the cost of things money cannot buy such as spouses, children and a well-balanced life, it means nothing at all.
This is why my passion is to help my clients get the results they truly want in their world of work and home.
What my clients say about working with me…
“I have been working with Paul for more than 5 years and, during this time, he has played a key part in supporting my career development as I have taken on roles of increasing responsibility within my organisation. The 1:1 coaching he has provided has not only facilitated my development as a leader but also enabled me to balance the demands both inside and outside of work; achieving a greater balance in my life. Throughout this process, he has constantly challenged me to be brutally honest with myself about my feelings and motivations, forcing me to confront and address the key issues and challenges that I have been facing.”
Mark Robinson, CFO, EMEA, Illumina
My interaction with Paul over the last 18 months has been of great value to me….. Right from the first meeting Paul’s coaching style has delivered tangible benefits & has helped me to identify clearly my leadership strengths & areas of improvement & resulting actions. Paul consistently shows a real interest in my personal & career development & through his subtle but probing questions has helped me identify what really matters to me! This has been a crucial part of my decision making as I took on a new International Assignment.
Bruce Armstrong – Senior Finance Director, Johnson & Johnson.
Over the last 12 months I have been fortunate enough to use Paul as a coach to support my overall personal growth & development. I was slightly sceptical at first about the value of a coach but my experience of working with Paul has certainly put paid to this initial scepticism. Through some very active listening and subtle questioning Paul has done a great job at helping me bring many of my sub-conscious thoughts to the surface to the extent that I have been able to enhance my self-awareness around some of my personal developmental areas that were important me. He then helped me formulate a very practical action plan which I felt very motivated to go and implement. What has also been very valuable is that through our regular catch ups he has played a great role in holding me to account to deliver the actions agreed in previous sessions. I feel this has been particularly important in deriving the true benefit from these sessions given that I have many competing priorities in my work/life environment which has meant historically that personal development priorities have always tended to take a back seat. What is also important for me is that Paul’s coaching isn’t restricted to purely the workplace but is focused on the full work/life spectrum so ensures my personal growth is all encompassing.

It was a pleasure working with Paul as a coach through the professional mentoring program, Everwise. Outside of the primary objective of my partnership within this program, he's also helped me tremendously with corporate navigation that has enabled me to take important next steps in my professional development and growth.
Alicia Chung, Senior Scientific Communication Leader, Genentech/Roche
I was about 21 when Paul agreed to be my life coach. At the time I had no career and few ideas as to what I wanted to actually achieve. Through our sessions Paul taught me how to focus my attention and develop my skills, he helped me to discover my passions and improve my commitment to them. Four years on I am now working as a senior graphic designer for one of the world’s leading digital PR and marketing companies. All this without any formal training. To this day I still put in to practice a lot of the advice Paul shared with me. Whether in my management duties or creative capacity, he was fundamental to the foundations of shaping my career.

Paul was a key seminar speaker at my business event, addressing 70+ delegates (in business or running their own enterprise) on the topic of Psychology of Sales. Very well received, engaging and challenging. Thoroughly recommended.
