Paul McNeive
Inspirational Speaker on Business and Life
Customer Service Expert Paul McNeive is a Chartered Surveyor, and was Managing Director of Hamilton Osborne King when the firm was sold to Savills for €50million.

Paul is now a sought after Motivational Speaker and works on business development with several leading companies. His autobiographical book on Business and Motivation, “Small Steps”, is a bestseller. In “Small Steps” Paul passes on the lessons in positivity, motivation and goal setting which he learned in Rehabilitation Hospital and which he has used to prove that “Everything is Possible”- for example becoming the first double amputee in the world to gain a helicopter pilots license. Paul has also had two novels published internationally.
Paul McNeive writes a weekly Opinion Column in The Irish Independent on property and business and he is interviewed regularly on T.V. and radio. He serves on the board of The National Rehabilitation Hospital.

He has written No. 1 songs and sung on TV and radio including “The Late Late Show”, “The Mario Rosenstock Show”, “The Business”, “The John Murray Show” and the launch of “The Gathering.” This experience in entertainment makes him a great “after- dinner” speaker, combining top level business acumen with the ability to entertain.
