Re-Introducing Paul McGregor

If you want to get Paul fired up, send him to a 3 hour online meeting where nobody says anything except for one or two presenters.

Watch him squirm as the presenter reads from Powerpoint slides with size 10 font and clip-art illustrations.

See him grit his teeth as everybody else pulls out their phones to find a distraction. As the presenter acts surprised at the lack of audience participation. As finally, a participant pipes up in frustration part-way through the presentation.

Yes, Paul is passionate about groups achieving more together by drawing on everybody’s wisdom and energy. Paul is here to guide you to collaborate with your community - whether that’s online or offline.

You can reach out and connect with Paul via LinkedIn.
