Speaker Topics

Beyond Resilience

Many organisations are undergoing significant business transformation, which is increasing the amount of stress that employees are feeling. When physiological, psychological and emotional resources are insufficient to meet demand, fatigue, impairment and burnout can result. In order to not only survive, but thrive, in such an environment requires employees to adopt rituals that allow them to cope with stressors in the short term, and induce productive adaptations in the long term. This workshop is designed to enable employees to thrive under pressure in a sustainable manner by exploring the science of resilience and peak performance tips from the military and elite athletes to provide participants with new insights and daily practices that will move them beyond risk mitigation to performance improvement.

Testimonial

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 have made positive life changes to both their personal and work lives through adopting behaviours that Paul has recommend, and we look forward to doing more with him in the future

Johnson and Johnson NZ

Paul Taylor is one of the most motivating and inspirational speakers who we have worked with in the past 10 years.

We will work with Paul going forward to help us to become great leaders.

Country Road

Paul’s workshop on High Performing Teams was exactly what we were after. His engaging style and use of interactivity kept the leadership team focused throughout the day. He also provided easily implementable ideas and strategies that could be transferred to the workplace. Many of our leadership team commented that it was the best workshop they had attended, and he’ll certainly be invited again
