Dr. Paul E. Momoh earned tertiary qualifications in business administration and management, marketing, leadership, education and practical theology, including MTh (Newcastle) and PhD (UNISA). His interdisciplinary work and research interest utilizes social science paradigms and encompasses the Academy, Church, and Society. It sits at the intersection of ethical leadership and management, values education and practical theology. He is the Founder/Executive Mentor of Leadership Education & Management Institute (LEMAN Group, Australia), a Fellow of the Institute of Managers & Leaders, IML Australia/New Zealand, and a lifelong clergy.
With three decades of full-time leadership, executive management/CEO and boardroom roles, Paul provides governance support (including pastoral care and research ethics) to BoDs/committees (including FReN-Australia: 2007 to date). He gives back to the community as an Industry Mentor. In the IML ANZ professional mentoring program, he serves managers and leaders who aspire to be c-suite managers/board directors/CEOs. In the Griffith University mentoring program, Paul supports the student community in their academic progression to internship/industry/career. In the Mentoring for Growth, M4G program of the Queensland Government Department of Employment, Small Business and Training, he serves as a Volunteer Business Mentor.
From the boardroom to academia, Paul is a values educationist, an inspirational mentor, motivational coach, trainer, and facilitator passionate about holistic learning and teaching. In formal and non-formal education, he seeks to inspire people to thrive in their academic space, career/workplace, or lifelong potential and purpose. Paul delights in doing ‘something, sometimes for those doing something’. So for those who are ‘thirty-something, forty-something, and fifty-something and doing something’, he focuses on nurturing midlife transitions (as an off-ramp for midlife crises-:!). He also prioritizes attention to students/young people: firstly, to develop or reboot their problem-solving skills, support them to resolve their relationship and emotional challenges, and secondly, to facilitate their identity formation.
These preceding tasks speak to the purpose of Life & Truth Education: an evidence-based, non-formal model for preventive and renewal education, which Paul developed utilizing empirical diagnostic tools. The model used part of the research output from his original contribution to knowledge (PhD thesis by full research). The model builds on that social science knowledge base and continues today as a work-in-progress in the Humanities at the LEMAN Institute/LEMAN Group.
