Paul Callaghan is an Aboriginal man belonging to the land of the Worimi people, located on the coast of New South Wales just north of Newcastle. For many years he held senior executive positions in Aboriginal- and non-Aboriginal-related service areas, but eventually his desire to focus on community and individual wellbeing compelled him to start his own cultural consultancy business. Paul is also a motivational speaker, a storyteller, a dancer and the author of the bestselling, award-winning The Dreaming Path (2022) and its younger readers companion volume, Adventures on the Dreaming Path (2025). His latest book is Leading From the Dreaming: Indigenous Thinking for Authentic Leadership.
