Voice of Legacy. Architect of Change.
For more than three decades, Paddy has
shaped the global speaking landscape.

Today, as a founding force behind Speakers of Change, Paddy is the architect of a new era — one where speaking is not performance, but transformation.
Where audiences don’t watch — they participate.
Where a single voice can shift a room, and a room can shift the world.
This is legacy in motion.
And Paddy is here to ensure every voice that steps onto our stage leaves changed — and changes others.

This inspirational podcast is hosted by Madhusmita Nayak, corporate strategist, storyteller, and believer that
real change begins when people learn to speak with purpose, confidence, and humanity.
An new upcoming international gathering is in motion.
It won’t be a traditional event.
It will be an experience of collective power, legacy in action, and feminine wisdom, where the audience becomes an organism with its own energy, insight, and impact.
The future of public speaking isn’t performance.
It’s participation. Join the movement!
