“A network is formed when three or more people come together. And now with networks everywhere, understanding and influencing them becomes an essential skill for all of us”, says Paul Hughes.
During my presentations I draw live as I speak. There are a number of reasons why I do this and one of them is to keep a human touch in each presentation. I find that all too often it is possible to get lost in technology and become confused that technology is an end rather than a means to an end. So I believe it is important to keep a human touch in a world that is driven more and more by technology.

“Who we are is influenced by what we say, strengthen by what we do, however ultimately defined through the relationship of what we say and what we do”, says Paul Hughes.
I read a lot. And the books that I am most interested in are 50 years old or older. The reason these books get my attention is because I am looking for what I call timeless knowledge – knowledge that was as relevant then as it is now. Then when I work with an organization I apply this timeless knowledge with my client, to their context, in a timely way.
“There is a deliberate craftsmanship to Ten Meters of Thinking, that comes from a belief that the form of knowledge is as important as the content of knowledge.”
After every speech the ten meter roll is professionally bound into a book form – 39cm x 52cm, hard-cover, accordion fold – allowing for the artifact to be viewed as a book, or to be extended to its full ten meters length – hence preserving the integrity of the roll.
“The concept of ‘Reputation’ is often misunderstood, yet I believe there is a simple formula we can use to understand what influences it”, says Paul Hughes.
Often my work is about making the complex clear. I am therefore interested in using what I call ‘Visual Statements’ to help unpack concepts that are commonly used, yet somehow still not understood. ‘Reputation’ is one of these concepts.
