Dr. Paul Taylor Biography
Dr Paul Taylor is a psychophysiologist, with a PhD in Psychology, separate master's degrees in Exercise Science and Nutrition and a postgraduate qualification in Neuroscience. A former Royal Navy Officer and former Adjunct Professor at University of San Francisco, Dr. Taylor is a leading expert in hardiness - the cutting-edge science that transforms stress into competitive advantage.
As Director of Paul Taylor Consulting, he delivers keynote talks and hardiness training, leadership and performance workshops to companies such as Oracle, SAP, PWC, NAB, CBA, BUPA & the Australian Military. He has conducted published research that shows that his programs have proven benefits for increasing hardiness, cognitive function and employee wellbeing while reducing burnout across multiple industries.
Taylor is the author of the bestselling, multiple award-winning book "Death by Comfort" and has just released his second book, "The Hardiness Effect." He also hosts a podcast, Hardiness with Dr. Paul Taylor, which is in the top 0.5% of all podcasts globally, and has developed a Hardiness app to help people develop this crucial life skill.
He has co-hosted the TV series "Body and Brain Overhaul," appeared regularly on "The Biggest Loser" Australia as a subject matter expert on biological age testing, and has been voted Australian Fitness Industry presenter of the year twice.
Taylor's high-pressure leadership experience includes roles as Airborne Anti-submarine Warfare Officer and Helicopter Search-And-Rescue Crew Member with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. He's undergone rigorous military combat survival training, became a professional boxer in 2012, and in 2021, both he and his son Oscar became Australian karate champions.

Dr. Paul Taylor Speaking Topics
Why would you aspire to be ‘resilient’ when human beings are capable of so much more? In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Paul Taylor will explore the human stress response and how developing high levels of Hardiness enables you to adapt positively to the inevitable challenges that life throws at you and ultimately emerge stronger and better. The talk will then go through a range of evidence-based rituals that integrate and optimise the mind, body and brain to move you up the Hardiness continuum. This keynote can be adapted and personalized for 3 groups: The Hardy Leader, The Hardy Salesperson and The Hardy Individual.

Western medicine has historically employed a reductionist, dualistic, biomedical model, where there is no role for the mind in physical ailments. This notion is slowly being challenged by the emergence of a new Biopsychosocial approach, which recognizes the body-brain connection and the impact of both psychological and social factors in both wellness and disease. In this stimulating talk, Dr. Paul Taylor will examine the Body-Brain connection through a review of Placebo science and explore the impact of exercise, sleep, nutrition, gut health, resilience and social connectedness on overall physical and mental wellbeing.

In this session, Dr. Paul Taylor will use his unique combination of research and practical experience in stressful situations to explain both our stress response systems and the concepts of resilience and stress adaptation. He will then present the ‘Big 4’ practical tools used by U.S. Special Forces that will help us not only survive - but thrive - in the face of modern stressors, and move beyond resilience to being stress adapted, where we grow because of stress exposure.

Behavior change is a much-studied concept, but still remains the elusive holy grail for many people, who know what to do but aren’t doing it. In this keynote talk, Dr. Paul Taylor will explore change from a neuroscience perspective, examine the science of habits, and present a model of behavior change that he has formulated over the years and successfully used successfully with thousands of individuals to help them close the knowing-doing gap.
