About

Ryan Pauley Projects

Kevin Ryan and Adrian Pauley began working together over 20 years ago. They bring together their diverse backgrounds as a corporate speaker & trainer and experienced high-school teacher.
Ryan Pauley Projects was formed by Kevin and Adrian to provide assistance to students and their teachers in the area of communication skills. With communication skills (particularly spoken presentations) forming a larger part of the curriculum, there is now a place where teachers and students can find the help they need to excel in these areas.

Kevin and Adrian have spent so many years teaching these skills to students, they know the techniques they promote are easily understood and applied to all school/tertiary situations; and that they are easy & practical for teachers to use in classroom exercises. By combining their experience in teaching and public speaking, Kevin and Adrian can be confident that these practical skills and teaching strategies are relevant to students' needs - both in their education and their later careers. They have both conducted research in Australia, the UK and the USA to identify the latest techniques and trends.
