Seratoner

A word from Paul Abbott

Before I launched my own brands, I enjoyed a fantastic career centred around events management and artistic direction in the creative sector and higher education. I managed a mixed-use venue for around ten years and I have experience of commercial conferencing, associations, live music, and festivals.

I was also responsible for employability and enterprise in a UK conservatoire, helping young artists to build their confidence and plan for the future. I hold a PhD in music, and I continue to compose and perform. My first book goes on sale in autumn 2023, and I also enjoy painting and food.

Coach

I am a trained coach with a background in senior leadership who managed to escape the endless rounds of business-lingo-bingo. No ‘leveraging’, ‘going forward’, or other such meaningless nonsense here.

I specialise in supporting individuals and organisations in the events and hospitality, arts, media, and creative sectors. Don’t be afraid of all the creative stuff if that’s not your world. You are welcome to make use of the way my brain works to get a fresh perspective on what is happening in your own.

Not sure? My great grandmother used to say, ‘everyone has a talent whether that’s blowing a trumpet or laying the perfect table’ and I totally agree. If your talent is for spreadsheets, fitting cookers or mending cars that’s all good. If I am honest, I love a good spreadsheet. I will be interested and curious to know more about you and your teams, and how I can help whatever your background.

What you will find is a friendly, kind and encouraging person who enjoys helping other people work things out and do their best.

I can work with you on a one-off short term basis, or you can bring me on board as a travelling companion for you, your business and your staff.
