I'll be your Primary Guide through this website helping you to learn more about the unusual story of Dr Paddi Lund in Queensland Australia.
For the last decade I've been helping people decipher and implement Paddi's rather different ideas into their businesses for optimum outcomes. I've worked with small business people in direct consultation (you'll find many of the transcripts of my consultations on this site) as well as CEO's of some major organisations.
I've built a training company that helps larger organsiations transform their company culture and hence customer experiece with rather dramatic results, and I've even had the privilege of working very closely with Sir Clive Woodward, World Cup Winning former head coach of the England Rugby team, to help him write the story of his success -- a new book called "Winning!" which is available through this site. (Read the story of my adventures here.)
Paddi and I have been good friends for more than 10 years, ever since Paddi first shared his story in a conference on the Gold Coast in Australia.
I was born in Nashville, Tennessee of Australian parents. (I'm the only one here without an Australian accent!) After growing up in Queensland, I returned to the University of Tennessee for my BA in Intn'l Management. I enjoy a good game of basketball and a little hard work on the family farm in the rural outback of Queensland. But what I enjoy most is my passion for promoting humanitarian ideals in business. I believe that what we learn in business can make our lives and hence the world a much better place.
Of course, Paddi's philosophies fit perfectly with my ideal. I hope you enjoy them.
As you visit different parts of this website focussing on Paddi's business ideas, you'll see comments by me from time to time that will help you to understand how Paddi's sometimes "crazy" ideas apply to the rest of the world.
Kind regards,
Fletcher

That means I'll help you learn about Paddi's publications, how they might work for you, and what publications are best for the direction in which you want to go.
I'm a true blue Aussie. I was born and grew up in Brisbane. With my husband, Stephen, and daughter Ruth, I have travelled to various parts of the world. We even lived in Papua New Guinea for a few years.
While my family is the essence of my life, my other interests include reading and chatting with interesting people, and any form of art or craft such as cross-stitch, knitting and embroidery.
Please write anytime you want to 'chat' about any of Paddi's wonderful ideas.
Toodle pip for now,
Loretta
I'm Joanne Coyne, also Business Information Guide at Solutions Press.

If you're in the United States or Canada, you'll most likely hear from me. I like to communicate with the kind people of North America. I love your culture, but your accent sure is funny!
Unlike Loretta, I grew up in New Zealand, but now call Australia home since moving here in ‘87’. Living in the area very near to our work, the Redlands of Southeast Queensland. is great, I love it here. I enjoy cycling amongst the beauty of the bay, with my husband Nigel and our two adventurous children.
Having a family certainly makes you feel run off your feet most days, so my work here is like a welcome break from my rather hectic life.
I look forward to conversing with you and hearing more about your part of the world.
Kind regards,
Jo
