About Paul Barrett
« Every event is special, every person is unique, every role a pleasure. »
Paul has shared the stage with world-renowned authority figures like Kofi Annan, nobel prize winners, business thought leaders like Chris Zook, C.K Prahalad, Patrick Dixon, top international and European CEOs like Christian Jourquin (Solvay), Pierre Pringuet (Pernod Ricard), Jean- Charles Pauze (Rexel), Frank Riboud (Danone), and has hosted events all over the world, in Paris, London, Barcelona, Cannes, Milan, Rome, Brussels, and Berlin with enthusiasm and authenticity.
Widely accepted as an authority on presenting and the art of communicating to a live audience, Paul also coaches his clients to better structure not only their individual presentations but also the event itself.
As early as 1989, he began to specialize in training and coaching top managers to communicate in public for high profile events. Among his references are : NYCOMED, TAKEDA, ALCATEL LUCENT, AXA I.M., MICHELIN, BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION, SANOFI AVENTIS, VALEO, GUCCI, COLAS, REED MIDEM, SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, MICROSOFT, DANONE, PwC, PPR, NESTLE, GEODIS, CAP GEMINI, ARCELOR MITTAL…
Facilitating meetings meant answering needs for more impactful communication as well as creating more strategic and powerful public profiling in order to ensure that top executives follow through on their intentions and “meet” their targets.
More recently, he has worked with L’OREAL PROFESSI PROFESSIONNEL, AREVA, BNP PARIBAS CARDIF, ALEXION, E.D.F., L’OCCITANE, THALES, PERNOD RICARD, SOMFY, REXEL, ORANGE, SOLVAY, COVIDIEN, and ESSILOR …
Paul approaches each event as a unique challenge with its own unique characteristics and possibilities. “My job is to take care of the dynamics. An event has to change people. All the successful events I’ve been involved in had a « before » and an « after » And that’s what I like about my work! Being able to provide a clear and measurable added-value for my clients”
During his extensive career in public speaking and as an animator, Paul Barrett has been covering a wide range of fields and industries: Telecom & Computing, Electricity, Food & Beverage, Construction, Television, Finance & Insurance, Distribution, Automobile, Real Estate, Energy, Consulting technology, Healthcare, …
