He brings the perfect combination of professionalism, preparation and ease on stage, creating a smooth and engaging experience for both speakers and audiences. Paul is reliable and a real pleasure to work with for the event team. I would highly recommend him as a moderator for any professional event.”"

"“Paul hosted a super engaging evening for Adobe co-hosted by Merkle on why AI and automation signal a golden opportunity for the content supply chain. He created an inclusive, open and welcoming atmosphere. Throughout the whole evening he seamlessly guided the conversation, insured everyone was involved in the conversation and brought in interesting point of views to spark another round of conversation. Would love for Paul to host another event like this again!”"

"“A great keynote from Paul on Transactional to Transformative Leadership. He challenged us to think about leadership differently. I took away ideas to mull over and consider about my own leadership style and some useful, practical ideas to discuss with my team. Love it when someone can “give you the words” to express concepts clearly and concisely - it makes it simple to remember and most importantly, to communicate them onwards.”"

"“I had the pleasure of meeting Paul at the 2024 AMEC Global Summit in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he provided the closing keynote to the two-day communications industry event. Paul spoke eloquently about why curiosity is critical to business success and what leaders can do to re-engage their curiosity for organisational success. The last session is always the toughest and Paul owned the audience to the last minute. Legend!”"

"“I had the pleasure of having Paul thoughtfully facilitate a HR leaders’ dinner which Oracle was co-hosting with IBM. It was a room full of senior HR executives, and as an HR professional myself, I’m constantly looking for ways to foster meaningful connection and belonging—and Paul brought this to the evening with exceptional skill and authenticity. His ability to create an inclusive, welcoming environment that evening was second to none. From the moment our guests started arriving, he set a tone of calmness, openness and trust. He struck me as a natural facilitator, seamlessly guiding conversation to spark insight, empathy, and genuine connection among people from all industries. Paul read the room intuitively, bring out quieter voices, and navigating group dynamics with a light but confident touch. It’s clear he understands how to build psychological safety—something we in HR know is critical to strong teams and culture.”"

"“I met Paul at his latest moderation of an executive business dinner at The Langham, London. It was one of the best moderated discussions involving complex topics of interest on automation, AI and governance of distributed systems in the financial industry. Paul gave equal opportunity to all attendees to talk through their experiences and the challenges they face in context. Everyone took Paul up on the opportunity and this made for a relaxed and balanced discussion on key aspects we relate to in finance - without all agreeing with each other all the time, making for an ambient of superior learning and networking experiences. He guided the conversations through thoughtful questions and ad hoc follow ups at just the right moments in the discussion and making it a connecting experience. No awkward silence, no platitudes, and a completely connected experience where I learned a lot of insights from peers in product, governance and technology. Paul enabled the experience to be so elevated, I'll actually go any other events if he's moderating.”"

"“I had the pleasure of attending the Business Change & Transformation and Digital Workplace Conference Europe, where I had the opportunity to hear Paul Spiers deliver a keynote presentation titled "Moving from Transactional to Transformational Leader." Paul expressed that many individuals are beginning to recognize that the vision of the company they work for should be driven by purpose rather than just leadership. People are actively seeking more meaning and purpose within their jobs and the organizations they belong to. Paul's presentation was truly impactful, delivered with passion and brimming with insightful observations on why today's leaders need to reconsider their approach to leadership. It provided a valuable blend of profound insights and practical applications, guiding attendees on how to navigate this shift. It reminded me of the significance of having a purpose for a company and made me ponder how any business would function without a clear sense of purpose. In summary, Paul' keynote was a compelling and thought-provoking experience, leaving a lasting impression on the importance of purpose-driven leadership in our rapidly changing world. Thank you Paul!”"

""Paul delivered an insightful virtual keynote to our senior leadership team during our offsite. His ‘Champions of Change’ model landed superbly with our team and was a fantastic way start the week. Paul embodies a calm but confident demeanour and was able to bring simplicity to what is a fast-changing landscape in the tech world. My only comment would be, I wish we had him in person!”"

"“Paul was a fantastic host for our recent Dynamic Discussions roundtable. His facilitation style was calm, incisive and genuinely inclusive, and the feedback from our attendees has been outstanding. Paul created the conditions for everyone to contribute, and the data shows he achieved one of the most consistently balanced levels of participation that I’ve seen in a roundtable format. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a moderator for any organisation that wants a focused, high value discussion rather than another talking head session.”"

"“At London Tech Week, Paul showed he is a seasoned moderator with a strong background in technology and innovation, bringing his expertise and charm to engage the audience and facilitate insightful discussions. As a moderator, Paul was notable for his poise, professionalism, and ability to keep discussions focused and on track. He excels in creating a dynamic and interactive atmosphere, encouraging speakers to share their perspectives and ideas freely.”"
