Paul Skewes has spent more than twenty years shaping how teams function under pressure. A former military operator with postgraduate qualifications in leadership and organisational coaching, he’s worked across four continents and has experienced the challenges when culture and strategy collide.
That arc, from jungle outposts to corporate conference rooms, sharpened Paul’s focus on how trust and performance hinge on daily human choices. He’s operated inside fragile transitions and high-risk environments, watching fear, silence, and lack of ownership destabilise teams, and he’s seen the shift when simple, intentional moves reset connection and trust.
Paul is known for straight talk and steady humour that cut through complexity. He brings calm authority to the stage, with a wry edge that keeps serious ideas engaging while avoiding the jargon and theatrics that drain real performance.
Audiences meet a speaker who has lived the realities he describes and who shows, with practical tools and intent, how to rebuild trust, ignite accountability, and lift performance.
- It's Ours To Fix
Paul took an entire audience on a powerful, story driven, insight into why team engagement and corporate culture fixes simply aren't working
I highly recommend Paul, for any event seeking dynamic and insightful leadership expertise. His keynote on leadership was both brilliant and applicable, resonating with leaders across industries. His smart delivery captivated the audience, leaving a lasting impact and valuable takeaways for all kinds of leadership roles, which I managed to challenge him with some curveballs! Loved his smart banter, top notch!
Paul has a rare talent in his natural ability to engage a group of (often quite diverse) people, and maintain that engagement throughout the duration of whatever subject he may be presenting.
