What our clients say

Paul instills curiosity. His style is highly provocative - in the most positive way - through questioning and encouraging the exploration of root causes to challenges, whether that be in bold systems thinking to challenges along a personal growth journey. Through working with Paul I understand my style, and can be far more deliberate in my efforts. I have also begun to understand my levels of influence and how to project bold concepts for social change. Paul has a depth of knowledge and empathy for social challenges, with a strong background in generating economic return. For organizations looking to enhance their impact and balance sheet - I highly recommend the guidance of Structured Innovation.

Liz O’Connell - CEO - Kindship Pty Ltd

I have been working with Paul for the last 2 years and continue to learn and grow under his guidance. Having a sounding board for strategic thinking is critical in a CEO role and I have been able to leverage Pauls years of experience and intellect to really test my thoughts. Paul equally cares about those that he is supporting and there are numerous check-ins between sessions. For those that want to set themselves up for success, Paul is someone you need in your corner.

Todd Roberts - CEO - Credit Union SA

Working with Paul as a mentoring CEO is always an expansive exchange, whereby the benefit of sharp, commercial experience is tempered by an intellectual curiosity that constantly prompts and provokes new insight. The approach is informed, unfettered by convention, and always looking to incorporate relevant contemporary ideas and perspectives. At the centre of Paul’s philosophy is a profound respect for governance, and a guiding belief that accountability is a welcome privilege to be embraced.

Paul Henry - Chairman and Company Director - Vinomofo Limited, Winehero Pty Ltd

Over the past five years Paul has been a trusted mentor and confidant to me in my CEO career. Paul’s wisdom, intellect and insights have been incredibly helpful and I have learnt so much. He creates a safe and inclusive environment and challenges my thinking. He is always up to date with the latest developments and has been a fantastic sounding board.

Mohammad Al-Khafaji - CEO - FECCA

I can think of endless occasions where Paul has demonstrated the behaviours he encourages - from holding discomfort in a room of leaders to instill space for diverse views, to creating safety for authentic and transparent feedback both in giving and receiving. Paul's mentoring enabled me to step through the discomfort of using my voice and embracing my journey as an executive leader. The cloud of imposter syndrome can be dark, and Paul's mentoring creates light with a mix of firm expectation, gentle pushes to live up to my own expectations, and safety to reflect on steps taken or avoided. In time with Paul I am always learning and growing.

Liz O’Connell - CEO - Kindship Pty Ltd

Having access to Paul’s knowledge and experience on navigating the challenges of executive management and governance has been invaluable. Paul listens astutely and offers contemporary insights that are immediately applicable to achieving strategic goals

James Meldrum - Head of Engagement - Early Start Australia

Paul has worked with a number of my executive teams and his ability to quickly understand the temperature of the room and deliver insightful coaching is quite incredible. Paul is an absolute pro who leaves his audience wiser and feeling understood.
