What past clients have to say

“Paul was absolutely brilliant in his delivery of his presentation. He had a strong message mixed in with enough humour to keep everyone engaged. He also held engagement by telling enough of his background to get a full appreciation of where he has come from and more importantly where he is heading. He had some really powerful messages for people on a professional and personal level. A truly dedicated man with a very secure path in front of him…He was excellent.”

New Zealand Sterile Services Association

“Dr. Paul Wood was an absolute hit, a lot of people mentioned him as the highlight of our programme. He is an incredibly gifted speaker, delivering a powerful message in a very effective and engaging way. And to top it off, he’s a great guy to deal with leading up to an event, by being very approachable and having a clear understanding of the brief given.”

Waikato Regional Council

“Paul connected with the crowd very quickly and had them captivated with his remarkable story. His deep knowledge of psychology and coaching was woven through his presentation which appealed to the audience. The true testament to his keynote is not so much that I was more than happy with it, but the amount of unprompted feedback I received from delegates both in person straight after the presentation and then after the conference closed via email. I cant recommend Paul highly enough.”

Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership

“What a fantastic presentation Paul Wood did for our team. We have received extremely positive feedback. In fact Paul got the most favourable feedback from any speaker I have ever used at Conference. I totally recommend him to other prospective people as an inspiring motivational speaker, his message and his experience really struck a chord with our team. They will never forget that story and just how much he endured to reach his end goal. He was a pleasure to work with so a big thank you to you all for helping us organise this.”
