We’re pleased to welcome Dr Paul Taylor as a coach and Larita EmPath™ trainer joining Larita Academy for 2026.

Dr Paul Taylor shared:

“My decision to partner with Larita Academy is driven by a shared belief that resilience is not just about surviving challenges, but about building the hardiness to thrive through them. Larita provides the architecture to apply these principles where they matter most, in the lives of young people. Its data-driven focus on real outcomes and pathways into employment and entrepreneurship aligns strongly with my evidence-based approach. Together, we are equipping young people with the confidence, skills, and ownership to navigate a challenging world.”

Dr Paul Taylor is a leading expert in hardiness, the science of building resilience, cognitive strength, and wellbeing under pressure. Through his work as a Psychophysiologist, researcher, author, and educator, Paul helps people develop the skills to navigate stress, challenge, and uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

Paul’s approach aligns strongly with Larita’s focus on self agency, mindset, and practical tools for life. For young people who have faced adversity, learning how to build hardiness is not about pushing through at all costs, but about understanding themselves, regulating stress, and developing the confidence to take purposeful steps forward.

Through his role as a Larita coach and EmPath™ trainer, participants will benefit from evidence based insights and practical strategies that support mental strength, decision making, and long term wellbeing, skills that underpin success in education, employment, and life.

We’re excited to have Dr Paul Taylor contributing his expertise to the Larita ecosystem and supporting young people to build strong foundations for what comes next.

Welcome to the Larita family, Paul.
