Testimonials
We enlisted Paul to deliver a webinar which was packed full of practical and relatable proven strategies and research about resilience. Paul holds the attention of attendees as he presents digestible information that we can all implement to improve our wellbeing.
Paul Taylor is a fantastic presenter - funny, down to earth but most importantly ENGAGING! The content was so interested, easy to understand for ‘most walks of life’ and he always backed it up with the relevant research. I particularly love the ‘tangible’ actions that we can take off the back of it (that are small and manageable), especially compared to all the other ‘wellbeing’ sessions we go to. The brutal honesty was great - no fluff just a realistic approach. Our team rated Paul as excellent 89.5% - rated 10 out of 10 & 10.5% - rated 9 out of 10. Over 84% of people rated ‘Extremely likely’ when asked if they will make changes (big or small) to their health and fitness.
Paul conducted the 2-day ‘Neuroscience of Leadership’ training program for the Cisco Capital Asiapac/Japan Leadership Team. I personally found it extremely beneficial and six months later, I’m still practicing what I learned –proof of a very good program! The messages and numerous practical tips were outstanding and several members of my team commented that this was the BEST training they had ever received.
Probably the best corporate/personal leadership training workshop that I have attended anywhere in the last twenty years! The messages around maintaining a healthy work-life balance, good nutrition, rest, and regular exercise, all leading to an improvement in performance, individually and as a team, have been life-changing to the participants. We started the training with a small group of Finance executives and their enthusiasm from the workshop is spreading throughout the organization...a great way to bring about change. Real, positive, productive change!
Paul’s rare combination of expert knowledge and credible background is presented in a fashion that makes people thirsty for more. It has done more to motivate individuals and galvanize our management group than any other initiative we have attempted.
Paul Taylor is one of the most inspirational speakers we have ever had work with our team. I have met very few people who have had such an impact on my staff. They are always asking “is he coming back” following the seminars we have conducted. My staff has made positive life changes to both their personal and work lives through adopting behaviours that Paul has to recommend, and we look forward to doing more with him in the future.
