What People Say

Paul is a great Coach and we have regular sessions together. I really like the way Paul think about problems, and feel very impressed by his leadership style. Paul gave me lots of practical guidance to overcome challenges, best ways to prioritise tasks in my work and how to speak with stakeholders from different background to implement working plan more efficiently. When I found my own interest in project management, Paul also gave me practical advice on how to spend my time to gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in this field, and what kind of useful resource could be approached both internally and externally. Paul also has massive experience regarding CV modification, interview recruitment, and great networking in different fields. If you are seeking coaching regarding job seeking, career progression, presentation skills and UK life experience, Paul is the one to be your best coach!

Distracted
Flying bug
So why so little for so long. Two simple reasons. One can't talk about a lot of what one's clients until things go public and there is a distraction in my life.
Work life balance has been pivoting toward Paragliding. Here is a picture from my remote landing some few kilometers from the take off hill at the end of the Stanage escarpment. What is there not to like about the big outdoors, particularly is you are going to fly over it at a few thousand feet.
