Paul McNeive is a chartered surveyor and was managing director of Hamilton Osborne King in Ireland when the firm was sold to Savills for €50m euro. Paul started his career as a trainee in the basement of the firm and not even the loss of his legs in a fire prevented him from rising to the top position to lead 250 staff.

Paul is now fast gaining a reputation worldwide as a top motivational speaker. His autobiographical book on business and motivation, “Small Steps”, is a bestseller. In “Small Steps” Paul passes on the lessons in positivity, motivation and goalsetting which he learned in rehabilitation hospital and which he has used to prove that “Everything is Possible”- for example becoming the first double amputee in the world to gain a helicopter pilots license.

Paul writes a weekly Opinion Column in The Irish Independent on property and business and he is interviewed regularly on t.v. and radio. He serves on the board of Ireland’s National Rehabilitation Hospital. He is a Mentor for The British Inspiration Trust and an Ambassador for The Douglas Bader Foundation.

Paul is a passionate speaker on customer service and his unique classification of people as types of birds makes sure that everyone remembers his message-“Make ‘em feel special.” He is also an experienced speaker on increasing sales, leadership, developing professional relationships and “change management.”

Paul also works as a singer and in comedy, with appearances on “The Late Late Show” and “The Mario Rosenstock Show.” He has written No. 1 songs and sung on TV and radio including “The John Murray Show” and “The Business.” This experience in entertainment makes him a great after-dinner speaker, combining top level business acumen with the ability to entertain. Where appropriate, Paul sometimes closes his motivational sessions with a song-often producing a standing ovation!

Paul is experienced in facilitating and presenting seminars. He loves working with senior management in facilitating strategy meetings, where his wide experience allows him to challenge the status quo and stimulate new thinking.
