REINVENTING TRANSFORMATION

A CHANGING WORLD DEMANDS NEW APPROACHES TO CHANGE

Transformation is often talked about as though it were a destination, but behind every organisational shift, career change, reinvention or moment of uncertainty are human beings trying to make sense of themselves and the world around them.

That has been the focus of my work for more than three decades.

I’m Dr. Paul Taylor-Pitt: an Organisation Development Consultant, Coach, Facilitator and Author working at the intersection of leadership, systems thinking, creativity and change. My work spans organisations, communities and individuals, helping people navigate complexity with greater honesty, courage and imagination.

Transformation is not something we do to people. It is a place we make space for. Whether I’m working with executive leadership teams, coaching someone through a moment of decision making, facilitating difficult conversations or writing about LGBTQ+ identity and midlife, my approach is rooted in the same core belief. Meaningful change happens when people feel able to think, reflect, connect and be more themselves.

My work combines deep organisational experience with emotional intelligence, psychology, reflective practice and creativity. I’m particularly interested in the spaces where professional life and human life collide: uncertainty, power, belonging, change and the stories people tell themselves about who they are allowed to become.

Alongside my consulting and coaching work, I’m also the author of Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?, a guide to LGBTQ+ wellness and wholeness in midlife and beyond. Writing has always been central to my life and practice. I see creativity not as separate from leadership or transformation, but as essential to it.

This website brings together the different strands of my work into one connected space: consultancy, coaching, writing, speaking, ideas and creative projects, all shaped by a shared belief that transformation itself may need reinventing for the world we now live in.

    Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?

    A growing platform exploring LGBTQ+ wellbeing, identity, ageing and reinvention. Through the book, events, community conversations and creative projects, this work celebrates queer lives while making space for honesty, healing and possibility.

Working with Dr. Paul Taylor-Pitt

I don’t believe transformation begins with frameworks, performance metrics or perfectly polished answers. It begins with people: their stories, relationships, fears, identities, creativity and capacity for change.

My work brings together organisational development, psychology, coaching, facilitation and creativity in a way that helps people think more deeply about what is really happening beneath the surface. Whether I’m working with a senior leadership team, facilitating a difficult conversation or supporting someone through personal reinvention, the goal is never simply change for its own sake. It is meaningful, human transformation that people can actually live with.

I’m particularly interested in the spaces where professional life and human life overlap: uncertainty, identity, leadership, belonging, power, emotional intelligence and the courage it takes to evolve. Alongside more than three decades of experience working with organisations and leaders, my perspective is also shaped by writing, queer identity, reflective practice and a deep belief that creativity itself is a transformational force.

People often describe my approach as thoughtful, warm, insightful and challenging in equal measure. I create spaces where complexity can be explored honestly, where people feel able to think differently, and where new possibilities can begin to emerge.

  • ‘In a crowed and competitive field of human resource development, Paul stands out for his intellectual insight, organisational knowledge and personal ability to turn best practice into reality. His ability to engage both professionally and with empathy is a huge asset as he continues his work to create better organisations and communities”

    —Joanne, Birmingham Business School

  • “Paul was thorough, thoughtful, flexible, brought a great sense of humour and was a pleasure to work with all round. His work unlocked some fantastic staff feedback that has led to several successful initiatives ultimately contributing to the professional development of our teams. I wouldn’t hesitate to invite Paul back for any future OD work.”

    —Jessica, The Old Vic

  • “Following a restructure, we were trying to bring together colleagues from different parts of the business faculty into one School. Paul designed and led our very first Away Day when we were only a month into the new structure. It really made an impact in helping us get to a position of having a shared vision and identity for the School.”

    —Mazia, University of Greenwich

  • “Paul was a fantastic support for our team. His knowledge of methodologies coupled with his calm, professional delivery allowed the team to reflect deeply and create new commitments to innovate.”

    -Victoria, British Red Cross

  • “The impact Paul had on me was dramatic. Paul's OD expertise combined with his clear passion and caring nature showed me how to be authentic and bold. The confidence I took from our partnership into the organisation was noticed by my clients and leaders alike. After ending the partnership with Paul, I remember saying "it's like I can see the Matrix" where I am seeing the interrelationships between systems, processes and people across the global business. I would strongly recommend anyone to work with Paul who is looking to learn from an OD guru who wants the best for you.”

    -Carl, Coopervision

  • “Paul helped us assess where we are on our inclusion journey and together we identified areas we need to address, based on policies and practices, workforce diversity, communication and engagement from an inclusion perspective. Throughout the process, Paul’s expertise and passion for diversity were clearly evident. As a result, we now have a monthly diversity action group where together we focus on key areas and practical steps of what and how to implement changes to accelerate our inclusion journey. Working with Paul was such a wonderful experience and his genuine passion for driving meaningful change shone through.”

    -Ben, Caution Your Blast

  • “Working with Dr. Paul Taylor-Pitt helped me to provide enhanced collaborative teamwork within the London Ambulance Service fostering a more cohesive and supportive environment. His efforts helped to make the Trust a better place to work, promoting a positive and inclusive culture for all staff members.”

    -Patrick, London Ambulance Service

  • “I had the pleasure of being mentored by Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt. I found Paul to be a bottomless pit of integral knowledge of the human condition and all the ways we are able to grow and evolve with the right direction. His gentle approach to meeting people exactly where they are right now while seeing and encouraging their development had me feeling validated on levels I was previously unaware of. He is a true warrior for the evolution of people.” – JL, Mentoring Client

    -J, Mentoring Client

  • “I find Paul a person very much driven by an inner desire to help other people grow. Paul, very calmly and kindly, always challenges me to look at things from different angles, helps me to reflect on why something is the way it is or the way I see it. He makes me stop and reflect to observe deep inside me. I would encourage everyone to spend some time this very generous soul. Time can’t be better spent.”

    -T, Coaching Client

  • “From his curiosity I notice Paul’s incredible ability for perception while being quite cerebral without losing his touch with the emotional self, which opens a space of acceptance and safety. A rare breed of people with this creative natural talent that is so genuine – fuelled by experience and interest in people”

    -D, Practice Supervision Client

Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?

A Cultural Intervention coming soon.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers (JKP) has acquired World All Language rights to Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? by Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt, stepping in after Trigger Publishing entered financial administration just weeks before the book’s original publication date

The deal, agreed by Jane Evans with Abi Fellows at DHH Literary Agency, gives the title a new lease of life, with publication now set for 21st October 2026.JKP’s intervention brings to market a title that speaks directly to a generation of LGBTQ+ readers whose experiences are often overlooked. Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? is a bold, practical and deeply affirming guide to queer wellbeing in midlife, addressing the lasting impact of growing up through periods of stigma, silence and loss—including the AIDS crisis and Section 28—while reframing midlife as a time of possibility, confidence and self-determination.

Blending interviews with more than 100 LGBTQ+ people, lived experience, and coaching frameworks, Taylor-Pitt offers readers tools to move beyond shame, reconnect with joy and navigate identity, relationships and purpose with greater clarity. The book is positioned as both a practical resource and a cultural intervention—making visible a generation whose stories are rarely centred in contemporary LGBTQ+ discourse.
