confidence and given proven success in our internal and external communications, new business pitches and client presentations.

Adam Kenwright
CEO AKA Group
I've been working with Paul for the past 8 years and he has really improved the various techniques I use to speak publicly. He has also built my confidence through his coaching and support - he has a great way of taking you on a journey and pushing you further than you thought you could. He builds both your competence and confidence and makes it fun along the way. He is a real professional in his field and adapts his style to suit the individual. He has also worked with all of my Executive team and has improved us all - whether speaking in front of 100 or 2,000 people, Paul will ensure you perform to the best of your ability.
Paul also listens to how you are feeling and where you want to improve. With his own background of performance, he knows how it feels to be on stage in front of an audience and so can relate to the various range of emotions you go through before you get up there yourself.
Paul is also a really good guy - great fun to work with and someone I can call a true friend. If you or your team want to get better at presenting, you will see instant results from time with Paul and have fun along the way.
