Want to give your audience a day back every week?

It’s about time!

“I’ve seen hundreds of keynotes and no-one is talking about TIME the way Paul is.”

— Nick Elston, Professional Speaker and Founder of ‘Forging People’

Paul Holbrook is an author, presenter, former Managing Director in the City of London and founder of Diary Detox Limited, a company he created with a simple purpose in mind – to create a world of better led people.

Having spent 20-years in fast moving technology transformation, he got fed up of hearing leaders say they didn’t have time to manage and left the fat pay-check to create the Diary Detox® – a method he designed to give managers at least a day back in their calendar, every week.

As the ‘Time Rebel’, Paul has wowed audiences of global organisations – giving them eye-opening insights into where their time goes and offering crazily simple tools that improve their productivity, leadership and wellbeing.

“Mind blowing and insightful”

‘Get a day back’ is a highly interactive and engaging keynote that will give your audience a completely different way of looking at their time – seeing where it goes, new insights into how and why they lose it, and simple strategies they can use to claw some back. 

Described as “mind blowing”, “educational and insightful” and “life-changing”, it’s perfect for off-sites, townhalls, team away-days and conferences, and is a perfect opportunity to create a thought-provoking interlude to your otherwise packed agenda.

Paul has delivered this keynote, both in-person and remotely, to blue-chip organisations across the world, including Microsoft, Novartis, Johnson and Johnson, and even live from the trading floor of the London Metals Exchange. 

Give your audience a gift that will remove their biggest barrier to success, happiness and wellbeing – a new relationship with their time.
