Hi, I’m Paris ✨

I work with schools and organisations to help them make sense of the rapidly changing digital world and the challenges shaping young people, workplaces, and communication.

My bread and butter is delivering impactful keynotes, engaging workshops, and practical coaching that help people think differently about technology, communication, and generational change. My zone of genius is taking complex modern issues and turning them into practical conversations and actionable next steps.

I’m best known for bridging the gap between young people and the adults around them. Whether I’m working with students, leadership teams, parents, or early-career professionals, my goal is the same: to create clarity, challenge perspectives, and inspire people to actually make a change.

I also work as an MC and facilitator for conferences, panels, and events, bringing energy, warmth, and practical insight to conversations that matter.

If your organisation is navigating change, whether it’s AI, digital wellbeing, communication challenges, or how on earth you manage your Gen Z employees, I’d love to chat.

Work With Me

The ‘why’ behind my work

At the heart of what I do is a belief that people perform better when they feel confident, capable, and supported. Whether I’m working with students, staff, or leadership teams, the goal is the same:

Fewer reactive responses, stronger personal responsibility, and more confident decision-making.

If you’re seeing disruption in your school or organisation, whether it’s AI, Gen Z entering the workforce, or something else entirely, I’d love to chat.

What sets me apart?

My open, positive, and genuine presenting style meets Gen Z students where they are and acknowledges the intensity of the challenges they’re facing today.

My legal background allows me to work comfortably at the intersection of policy, people, and performance.

I view my storytelling as a superpower, and instil every talk and workshop with relatable, personal elements.

I create a welcoming environment where your students can be themselves, face their obstacles, and build life-changing skills.

Praise for Paris McNeil

I wanted to share my positive experience with Paris's leadership training. It was engaging, educational, and well presented. The Young Leaders came out of the session feeling confident and excited with their new leadership skills. Paris's enthusiasm and kindness made the session enjoyable, and her approach was both informative and practical.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Paris attend the City of Wanneroo Childhood and Youth Services team meeting. This provided our team with an understanding of the social media ban proposal that would affect young people in our local community. Paris was very engaging and knowledgeable about the topic and had a real understanding of the different effects this ban could potentially have on young people. Throughout the session the team collaborated to establish conversations that could be had with young people and the wider community ensuring consistent messaging across Federal, State and local government.

Paris really set us up for the afternoon and it was great to see the students put her tips into practice in the activities later on in the afternoon. Paris spoke well so that our Year 7 students could really understand and grasp the concepts she was putting forward. It was great to see her have a laugh and rapport with them. The students continued to use terms such as: active listening, empathy and leading by example. This was down to Paris and her delivery!
Emma Sykes – Prendiville Catholic College
Paris was a wonderful speaker who gave so much insight from her own personal experience transitioning from university to the work life. I found a lot of relevance to her experiences and the ways she’s dealt with the feeling of imposter syndrome, this talk has been incredibly beneficial.
Paris delivered an engaging presentation to our Year 7–10 students on the upcoming social media ban. She was both relatable and informative, helping our students better understand the implications of the ban and how to prepare for life without social media. Thank you Paris!

Paris is an incredibly talented speaker, and I was genuinely blown away by the practical tips and insights she shared on how to connect with audiences and deliver memorable presentations. From strategies to speak confidently on the spot, to techniques for keeping people engaged throughout, her advice was both actionable and inspiring.
