A highly in-demand keynote speaker, Paul advises senior leaders, professional services firms, and global organisations on thriving in today’s multi-generational, AI-powered, attention-scarce workplace. His work focuses on a defining leadership challenge of our time: how leaders attract, protect, and direct human attention in a technology-dominated world.
Paul is a Director and Visiting Fellow at London’s City Literary Institute, one of Europe’s largest adult education colleges, where he also serves on the Board of Governors. Having held senior roles across leading universities, he has spent over two decades advising institutions, employers, and policymakers, guiding the careers of thousands of students and professionals.
His research spans Generation Z and Generation Alpha, ‘Zombie Jobs’—roles hollowed out by automation—inter-generational communication, workplace ‘technoference,’ and the growing global crisis of attention. His widely viewed TEDx talk on Zombie Jobs is a reference point in international debates on automation and employability.

A regular contributor to national media, Paul appears frequently on BBC radio and television and is known for combining rigorous research, sharp insight, and practical, board-level takeaways with a highly engaging speaking style. Since 2020 he has hosted a global webinar series that brings together businesses, HR professionals, and educational leaders worldwide to explore the future of work and talent.

He is the author of several influential books, including Future Proofing Your Career and The Graduate Jobs Formula. His forthcoming book, Fearlessly Human: Leadership and Attention in the AI Age, explores why mobilising attention is now a critical leadership skill. 

In recognition of his contribution to public debate and professional practice, Paul was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
