Paul Gleeson, who hails from Limerick in Ireland is a performance coach, public speaker and adventurer. Prior to moving into coaching, Paul spent over 12 years working in the wealth management industry as a tax consultant and financial advisor.

His style of performance coaching focuses on developing potential. Whether working with companies or individuals on a one to one basis, the focus is on harnessing and maximizing the authentic skills, talents, passion & potential of those he works with.

Paul brings a combination of academic qualifications and some very rich life experience to the work he does with his clients. As an adventurer Paul has completed some very unique expeditions including cycling coast to coast across Australia and rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. Paul is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), a Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) in Ireland and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) in Canada. Paul is also a published author so this rather unique mix of experience and professional qualifications results in a very authentic and effective experience for the clients that Paul works with.

Paul is currently preparing for his next expedition which is to cross the infamous North West Passage on human power alone in a single season - www.thelastfirst.com
