Facilitation approach
The common thread in Paul’s work is people, helping them learn to work and function more effectively as leaders in high pressure, complex organisational systems. He is fascinated by the dynamics, often unhelpful, that arise between people, teams, departments or across the hierarchy and how it shapes thinking or limits performance. Paul works with people in these situations, helping them to better navigate the terrain, building their insight and agency to influence, garner support and make change. Most of this human potential is released through having richer, deeper and more substantive conversations; Paul helps people to have those conversations.
