What happens when local business leadership meets deep self-awareness?

In this episode of The Human Mask, host Alex Walker engages in a candid conversation with Paul Colman, a veteran business advocate with over 20 years’ experience representing the South Cheshire business community.
Paul shares how his journey at the Chamber has been about more than networking, it’s about building meaningful community infrastructure, ensuring businesses thrive, and aligning purpose with performance. Behind the formal title lies a story of collaboration, challenge-response, and the human dynamic of leadership.
