Paul Horton

Paul is a leadership and strategy coach and organizational change professional with over 20 years of experience working with the public, private, non-profit, and higher education sectors.  He is keenly aware of the pressures decision-makers and leaders are under to deliver in the face of rapid change, uncertainty, budget, and time constraints, and increasing demands from stakeholders.  Paul sees his work as helping leaders navigate complexity and change, lead with clarity, and achieve internal alignment and coherence.  He also works with groups to help them become more adaptive and resilient and build and sustain a culture of trust, mutual respect, and ongoing learning.

Paul’s work is grounded in both a theoretical and a practical understanding of systems thinking, organizational theory, and group (or “process-oriented”) dynamics.  He specializes in using dialogue-based, participatory approaches to engage diverse perspectives, build social capital, and improve organizational outcomes.  Paul is skilled at facilitating meetings where there is a high degree of difference or divisiveness, and that generate personal insights and uncover innovative possibilities for moving forward.

Paul received his Master’s in Leadership in Complexity & Strategic Sustainable Development from the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden.  He earned a Certificate in Sustainable Business from Pinchot Graduate School.  Paul is certified in Deep Democracy CoResolve.  Paul can be contacted at [email protected].
