The highly successful podcast reaches a global audience in almost 90 countries, with thousands of business leaders, entrepreneurs and employees tuning in each week.

Paul interviews a diverse mix of business leaders and entrepreneurs about Principles and Leadership in business, sharing insights on how the shift to a ‘New P&L’ for Business can inspire leaders, engage employees and ignite transformation and growth.

Paul has established himself as an insightful and compelling advocate for principled & purpose-led leadership. His keynotes and workshops empower leaders, teams, and organisations to align their strategies, values, and vision, preparing them to excel in the complex landscape of the Future of Work.

Paul’s book The New P&L – Principles and Leadership: A Six Step Framework for More Principled Leadership and Purpose-Led Business (2025) further cements his reputation as a thought leader in the fields of leadership and purpose-led culture. His work is built on the belief that when a business’s principles are aligned with its purpose, and its leadership is both clear in vision and empathetic in approach, the result is not just financial gain but a truly thriving organisation.

Paul Spiers Speaking and Workshop Topics

Paul works closely with all event organisers to ensure his keynotes speeches are tailored to the audience. His most recent keynotes include:

Champions of Change: Redefining Leadership and Culture for the Age of AI

In an era defined by rapid technological acceleration and AI-driven disruption, the organisations that thrive are those who understand that real transformation is as much about people as it is about technology.

Paul challenges business leaders to rethink what it means to lead in a world where change is constant and innovation is exponential. He draws on deep insights from global leadership strategies, as well as more than 260 business leaders and entrepreneurs. Paul explores why the success of digital transformation relies on the simultaneous evolution of leadership mindset, organisational culture, and intrapreneurial thinking.

Key Takeaways

– The Five Foundations that unlock more sustainable transformation and performance

– Why curiosity and creativity are your organisation’s most underleveraged assets

– How to help foster a culture of intrapreneurial thinking that’s real, not just rhetoric

– A fresh perspective on purpose-led leadership in an AI-enabled world

– Strategies for building a legacy of leadership that lasts beyond the bottom line

Are We Outsourcing Our Curiosity to an Algorithm?

In an era defined by infinite information, yet narrowing perspectives, are we handing over our most vital creative asset – our curiosity – to algorithms? As we rely more heavily on curated content and AI-generated insights, we risk losing the unexpected spark of inspiration that comes from real-world engagement and authentic human experiences.

Paul explores how creativity and innovation is being stifled, not by a lack of data but by a lack of diverse, human-centered curiosity. Drawing on leadership, culture, creativity, and technology, Paul challenges audiences to reconsider their relationship with digital tools.

Key Takeaways

– Why curiosity is the hidden engine behind all meaningful innovation

– The real cost of outsourcing curiosity to algorithms in decision making

– How digital dependence narrows thinking and suppresses original ideas

– Practical ways leaders can rekindle curiosity within teams and culture
