Engaging and Energising teams. 

Building Team Creative Capacity.

Connecting teams with knowing their stories, seeing what is important to them and hearing their ideas.

Once described by a colleague as equal parts zen and espresso, Paul Fairweather understands that to make ideas happen you need a combination of both the creative and practical, coining the word Pragmativity.

He is a great collaborator and communicator, and provides a rare wisdom and connection between the creative and practical elements of running a successful business.

An architect by profession, Paul was co-founder of award-winning Fairweather Proberts Architects (now bureau^proberts), and more recently co-founder of TEDxBrisbane.

Paul gave up architecture to try other things, including standup comedy, after having the slow moving epiphany that there are not a lot of laughs in architecture.

He’s also credited as a chair and product designer, illustrator , property developer, podcaster, inventor, adventurer, entrepreneur. writer, and artist.

Paul has been responsible for numerous chair designs, including the iconic Mr. Curly Top. He is a high-profile artist who regularly exhibits around Brisbane and in 2001 was an Archibald Prize finalist.

Paul was co-founder of TEDxBrisbane.

Paul is an accomplished public speaker and combines his natural wit and his visual sensibilities to deliver entertaining and informative keynotes, masterclasses and programs with clarity and humour.
