Paul Gleeson is a performance coach and public speaker. Paul works with individuals, corporate teams and professional sportspeople. The focus of his work with individuals and corporate teams is to enable more engagement and perform at a high level in work and in life.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
