Paul recalls: 

“My journey as a motivational and inspirational coach started when I moved to England at the age of 22 as a scholarship student to study Business Economics at Leicester University. I was among one of the four students that gained the international student scholarship in 1998 to study at Leicester University.”

" As a student in my early teens, I failed GCSE mathematics five times in secondary school and met a teacher that turned my life around by changing my mindset. He became my coach and my personal mentor and since then my life has never been the same.”

“With my experience of working in education and running an international consultancy business, I am ready to work with you in any capacity to realise your true potentials.”

“I motivate and inspire my clients by changing their emotional, mental, and behavioural mindset to help them achieve their goals and dreams.” 

“I have more than fifteen years of working experience with students, teacher/lectures, managers, directors, and professionals in the public and private sector to help them become very successful.”

“I have experience in working with young offenders to transform their mindset and get them ready for life outside the prison.”

Client feedback

We asked Paul to deliver video content to support the University of Leicester's international student cohort with both their academic and career development journeys.

In these clips Paul provided concise, informed, practical, and very accessible insight and advice, guiding our students on how to make the successful transition to university level study and ultimately then through to degree success and graduate employment.

Delivered with great warmth, and drawing on his personal experiences and considerable expertise in this area, Paul exceeded our expectations and provided an exceptional resource for our students. We couldn't be happier - thank you Paul!
