TESTIMONIALS

"The feedback for Leading Change and Thriving Through Change has been overwhelmingly positive and the content is absolutely hitting the mark with all levels of leadership. Leaders have also been impressed with the facilitation style and use of storytelling for impact."

- Gayle Piek, Chief People Officer, NGM Group

"Paul was engaged by me at Fairfax Media in New Zealand for over 4 years. During this time, he ran our Senior Leaders program, which saw approximately 200 people participate and all have reported positive feedback about Paul. They have also raved about the benefit they have received from the individual coaching from Paul. He also ran Leadership sessions with our Executive and other management teams in the business which focused on the team and the individual. These sessions have been run to a high level and have been the most value-add sessions that I have seen operate at the Exec level. More recently, we have engaged Paul at New Zealand Health Group, running the Foundational Leadership Program for 16 senior leaders. The program was a great success, and we are now moving to offer the program to other leaders in the business. Paul has got a style where he gets to know the organisation and what the key issues are and then can add insight from what is happening in the wider business world. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Paul, and he is a person who is at the top of his field, and a person who I would recommend to any Executive/Management teams wanting to improve their performance."

- Mike Peters, Group General Manager, People and Culture, New Zealand Health Group
