Paula is a trainer, facilitator and coach as well as a speaker, author and adventurer. Perhaps best described as a “Performance Catalyst”, her best self at work is when she is empowering and inspiring others – from primary school children to blue-chip leadership teams. In the non-organisational world, Paula has been described as “a female Bear Grylls only smoother”. She has done 118 things on her ‘Living Life to the Full’ list and counting, including sailing around the world and skiing to the South Pole. Paula has written four books and speak internationally at conferences, schools and for charities.

With 20+ years’ experience as a leader, consultant and coach, Paula believes in humanising business; making work enjoyable, energising and engaging for all involved. Having completed a Master’s Degree (MSc) in Positive Psychology and Coaching, she understands first-hand the power of a positive approach to life.

Combining business, adventure and positive psychology expertise - and being the world’s first Adventure Psychologist – Paula has created a tried-and-tested model to develop the wisdom, resilience and growth you need to thrive in these uncertain times. Along with Alex Alley, Paula regularly gives talks, delivers workshops on Adventure Psychology focusing on leadership, resilience and mindset.

Her passion in life is surfacing this in all of us.
