Redesigning Leadership & Culture for the age of AI

Paul is a global keynote speaker, host of the global podcast The New P&L® – Principles & Leadership in Business, and a leading voice in the movement to redefine leadership, culture, and curiosity in the age of AI.

A passionate advocate of placing humans right at the centre of technology-driven transformation, Paul inspires leaders, teams, and organisations to align strategy with values and vision, equipping them to thrive in the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of the Future of Work. Through powerful storytelling, thought-provoking insights and practical tools, his keynotes and workshops challenge audiences to move beyond transactional leadership and embrace a more human, transformational approach; one that nurtures creativity, innovation, and lasting impact.

A respected advocate for a ‘New P&L’ for Business – one based on Principles & Leadership not just Profit & Loss, Paul’s engaging keynotes and The New P&L Institute workshops and strategic consultancy aim to help senior leaders, employees and companies better prepare for the more complex Future of Work by advising on how they can transform and align their leadership, vision, strategy and culture to elevate business performance. Paul is a naturally creative storyteller and a highly engaging and inspiring speaker, panel moderator and roundtable facilitator. His keynotes are filled with insightful and thought-provoking observations and offer practical examples.

Paul's upcoming book, THE SENSITIVE CYBORG: Recoding leadership & culture for the Age of AI set for publication in late 2026, further cements his reputation as a thought leader who works with businesses to prepare their leadership and culture for an era of constant transformation. His work is built on helping leaders and employees to work collaboratively with AI, but not lose themselves and the essence of who they are in the process: the creativity, curiosity, thinking, understanding, relationships and purpose that makes all of us who we are. Because for us and AI to thrive together as ‘high performance peers’, it is those most fundamental of human characteristics and skills that are more critical than ever. In short, any technology transformation, especially one with the scale and complexity of AI, needs a cultural and leadership transformation alongside if it is to be successful.
