Soldier, Adventurer, Coach, Speaker

“I’m only human and I’m not ‘special’ by any means, I’ve just done some extraordinary things. I’ve had to work hard to get to where I wanted to go, having pushed myself into areas where I have been very uncomfortable. But, you never know unless you give it a go, so it’s worth taking those steps towards reaching your own goals…”

Paul's understanding and guidance helped him address anger issues, change careers, and find a supportive role model. Thanks to Paul, we now enjoy stronger family connections and a brighter future."
Coaching Client
"Blooming brilliant! Quite a few people were fearful of somebody giving it the big "I am" but the content, pitch and your modest delivery style really resonated with the audience. The only negative comments have been that the audience wanted more. Much more. One lady said she could have listened to you all night, and there would still be more to hear."
