Practical Leadership Academy

Paul Morton, FRSA

LEADERSHIP & REVENUE COACH & MENTOR

I help founders, CEOs and revenue leaders do better, faster.

You are where you are for a reason. You’re not a fake. You won’t likely fail. 

Everyone else is making it up as they go too! 

You were probably hired by smart people – trust their judgment, just for a moment.

I’ll work with you to uncover and reframe what you can already do and help you fill in any gaps in your knowledge.

Together we can make your life easier and your work more productive.

I’ve been specialising in SaaS platform businesses – corporate digital learning businesses in particular, including HR tech and EdTech, although recently I’ve developed good experience with B2C apps.

I’ve waded through various exits and acquisitions and have the scars and a trail of mistakes to share and help you avoid making them too.
