Luke Chapman

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul in the same cohort of the Leadership at Toll program in 2019. Paul immediately impressed me as an exceptional communicator, a highly engaging leader who shows a clarity of purpose and is driven to achieving high performance in a team environment. Paul is a natural leader of people, is authentic in his approach, shows care and empathy for his team and seeks to recognize high performance personally. Paul presents confidently, professionally and honestly in executive forums and is measured in his approach. I have had the pleasure more recently to work more closely with Paul in challenging circumstances and found him to act astutely and innovatively. Paul is comfortable in seeking out feedback to improve performance which examples his insight into leading change.

I have had the pleasure of working with Paul in recent years through his community commitment to Cricket Australia and his cricket coaching at Woollies Junior Bash Cricket. Paul is organised, highly skilled and capable as a leader and coach. His enthusiasm for teaching and coaching was on display each week as he led a large group of children and parents throughout the summer.
