Paul Swift Email and Phone Number

People are my business. I work with helping people in business and life have the sort of conversations with themselves and others that help them wake up to what is possible, based on an honest grounding of their strengths and their limitations, realising choices through dialogue and understandingI have run my own business since 2002 offering a range of people offerings to organisations, teams and individuals - from strategic interventions to individual explorations of potential, effectiveness, motivation and meaning. I work as a coach, consultant, facilitator, therapist, mentor, trainer and friend, depending on what will best support people moving forward. I started my working life over 30 years ago - feels a lifetime and indeed it is. During that time I have had the good fortune to work with many people who have inspired me, frustrated me, encouraged me and taught me many lifetime lessons. I can also say that what guides me in my approach is my philosophical and professional training in existential and ontological coaching and psychotherapy which together with buddhist practice and study ground my approach and this would be true. However my most fundamental guide to working with others is my own life experiences, which have served me well, and the wisdom of countless others who I have met along the way which I endeavour to embody where I can and pass onto others Outside of all this I have a passion for life : travel, culture, society in all flavours. I regularly run Saturday afternoon philosophical cafe conversations on themes that capture my interest and extend learning of the simple and complex art of what it means to be human
