Testimonials –
"Paul has been absolutely life changing for me, words that I do not write lightly by any stretch of the imagination. Paul's guidance, with both honest and insightful feedback, has enabled me to rebalance my goals, bring energy back into both my professional and personal life (which let's face it, were pretty depleted post covid) and be firmly back in control of living the life that I want to live. And all of this has been self-led which is both incredibly empowering and even more importantly, sustainable. And in case you were wondering...Paul keeps it real!."

Paul Pitsaras LL.B B.Int.Bus., is the founder of The Open Mind Institute and is also our lead executive coach.
Recently voted as Brisbane's 'Top Executive Coach' by Influence Digest, Paul understands the pressure of high-stakes leadership because he's lived it:
Before founding The Open Mind Institute in 2016, Paul was a litigation lawyer practicing in London, Melbourne, and Brisbane. On paper, he had success but in reality, he was experiencing burnout, prolonged stress and insomnia.
This prompted him to dive deeper into what he had studied before going into the law, behavioural science. Paul immersed himself in mastering positive psychology, logotherapy and psychosynthesis, not just academically, but experientially and created a system that enabled him to regulate his nervous system and even thrive in pressure situations.
Paul founded The Open Mind Institute to make this knowledge accessible to as many people as possible. Over the last 10 years Paul has delivered his training seminars and executive coaching sessions to thousands of professionals around the world and today, while he still facilitates corporate masterclasses and executive training for leadership teams, his passion and expertise lies in executive coaching.
