Business Owner, Author and Keynote Speaker:
Paul Hargreaves is one of the leading voices in the UK encouraging and inspiring businesses to be a ‘Force for Good’ and has published a book with the same title.
Many businesses are realising that to prosper and survive in the 21st century they need to not just be looking at the financial bottom line of profit, but people and planet too, and so make the world a better place.
There’s a new generation of businesses emerging. They’re working together to make a positive impact on the world by redefining what it means to be successful.
Paul has been leading a successful purpose-driven business for over two decades. He can help you change the way you work, helping you make better decisions to reduce the impact on poverty, injustice and environmental damage by balancing purpose with profit.
Paul inspires businesses to make the world a better place, by being better for people and the planet, and at the same time better for profit.
Creating lasting change also involves personal transformation. Paul Hargreaves helps you discover that by reaching out to the world, you will become more fulfilled and happier.
Popular speaking titles include:
Creating a Lasting Leadership Legacy
How do you want to be remembered in business by others?
Someone who has done well for themselves or someone who has done well for others?
It is the latter that tend to leave a lasting legacy and in addition create more personal fulfilment and happiness too!
Being a Compassionate Leader
Love, kindness and compassion were not words that used to be used in a business context.
In the 21st century, it’s the leaders showing and feeling love for people and planet that are growing the most successful businesses and organisations.
Creating Businesses that are Forces for Good
Businesses that are simply in existence to make money for their shareholders and owners are failing.
Even the Financial Times in Sept 2019 declared on its front page, “Capitalism: Time for a Reset”.
Those businesses that have a purpose beyond making money are now the successful ones. Paul will show you how.
