Speaking & Podcasts
Regenerative leadership. The role of nature in human performance. The future of coaching as a profession.
These are ideas that organisations, leadership communities, and media audiences are beginning to ask serious questions about, but where credible, experience-based voices are still relatively rare.
Paul Rodwell brings an unusual combination to a speaking engagement. A former UK diplomat and senior leader in high-end hospitality, now a qualified coach working at the intersection of regenerative philosophy, behavioural science, and nature-based practice. It’s a career arc that gives him both credibility and a different story to tell than the average coach or leadership consultant.
Topics Paul can discuss
Paul speaks on a range of themes that can be shaped to suit different audiences, formats, and contexts. Current areas include:
Regenerative leadership
Why the performance-driven model of leadership is reaching its limits, what a regenerative alternative looks like in practice, and how organisations can begin to make that shift.
Nature, attention, and human performance
The evidence for nature’s role in restoring cognitive function, improving decision-making, and sustaining the quality of presence that effective leadership requires.
The future of coaching
Where the coaching profession is heading, what regenerative and nature-based approaches add to conventional models, and what clients increasingly need from the coaches they work with.
Behavioural change and why it’s harder than we think
Drawing on his UCL training in behavioural science, Paul explores why people and organisations resist change even when they want it, and what actually works.
Slowing down as a leadership strategy
A counter-intuitive but evidence-supported argument for why the most effective leaders are often the ones willing to pause, reflect, and resist the pull of constant action.
These are presented as themes rather than fixed talk titles. Paul is comfortable shaping content to suit the audience, the occasion, and the time available.
