Sharing Hard-Earned Lessons on Career Growth | Editor of Genesis 2 | Follow for Weekly Insights to Help You Navigate Transitions with Confidence and Purpose

Hello 👋

I'm Paul. It's nice to meet you.

𝗠𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆:

At 19, a heart condition diagnosis turned my world upside down. Surgery and rehab fueled my passion for exercise science and helping others overcome adversity.

I began my career by helping injured workers return to work or transition to new roles. I supported many individuals facing:

❌ Overwhelming challenges, including burnout, 
❌ Feelings of insignificance, 
❌ Isolation, 
❌ Fear of failure,
❌ Major life transitions.

Later on, I pursued an HR degree and an MBA, gaining skills in:

🟢 Managing performance and addressing misconduct
🟢 Helping individuals find direction and personal growth
🟢 Designing goal-achievement frameworks
🟢 Nurturing mindsets for sustained success and serving as an accountability partner

Laid off in 2017, I applied my own frameworks to navigate this challenge.

Since then, I have advanced to leadership and management roles at a nonprofit organisation, where I successfully led and unified a national team remotely, and streamlined systems and processes following a merger.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼:

I partner with those who feel stuck or unfulfilled in their careers. Through personalised mentorship, actionable insights, and proven frameworks, I help you to navigate transitions, develop essential skills, and realise your vision.

Other than mentoring and writing, I lead the organisation’s strategic initiatives, bringing our vision to life and enhancing leadership capabilities across the board.

𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
