Paul is a multi-lingual (Russian, Arabic and Pashto) former Royal Air Force Air-crewman and now Managing Director of his own Research Company. During his military career he predominantly served on operations that concentrated on the Middle East, North Africa and Afghanistan; including a high profile secondment to the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) in Baghdad as a Weapons Inspector and Interpreter. His wide array of experiences coupled with a joie-de-vivre and an embracement of other cultures has permeated institutional barriers and preconceived ideas on religion and race.
A dyslexic who loathed school, his life story is a powerful and emotional campaign to succeed. To date he has spoken to approximately 45,000+ pupils, students and teachers from a myriad of schools and universities that encompass the majority of the UK; focusing on what the Dept for Education terms as “non-achieving schools” within multi-ethnic low-salary demographic areas. He is also a popular international inspirational speaker for corporate events and high profile clients include Rolls Royce, GCHQ, UK Trade & Investment, British Aerospace, Boots, ITV and Thales. His speaking themes include: overcoming adversity , diversity awareness and team building , driving objectives , change and change management , motivation , mental preparedness , anti-bullying and life-long learning .
The talks encompass his school years and the learning difficulties he had at Secondary School in the Rhondda Valley; to his first few jobs in Cardiff and the subsequent experiences of working with people from other religions, races and sexual orientation; concluding with his career in the RAF, modern warfare, humanitarian aid, diplomacy, globalisation, social media and the lessons that life has taught.
