About Paul

We all have a personal and a professional story, and of course bios do not provide any glimpse into what’s going on inside the person. My official bio is:

Having spent nearly 40 years leading teams from 4 to 400, I learned that balance and self-management are crucial. Self-development became my focus; I've devoured countless research papers, books, and presentations on personal development, psychology, leadership, motivation, health, and education. Introducing Personal and Professional Development (PPD) into team meetings, I emphasized helping each member become their best self. True Success, I found, is a balance of five distinct yet equal elements, unique to each individual’s journey and stewardship.

With a distinguished career as VP of Operations, Chief Operations Officer, and President in retail, technology, and manufacturing industries, I bring a wealth of experience to success and mindset coaching. My approach empowers individuals to unlock their full potential, balancing professional achievements and personal fulfillment. Through personalized coaching, I help clients define success on their terms and create actionable plans. By integrating my operational expertise with a passion for personal development, I guide clients to sustainable growth and lasting change. Join me to collaboratively achieve your aspirations and create a profound personal and professional impact.

But this bio doesn’t mention the years of struggling with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. These issues were the main driver for my relentless focus on self-development, and actually helped me become a better person, leader, and ultimately, coach.

Like everyone else, I have had my ups and downs. Highs and lows. Struggles and Victories.

I have gone through corporate restructuring and have been unemployed twice. I was fired from an early job in my career due to ego and hubris.

I lost 5 people I loved in the same calendar year including both my parents. (Which is why I refer to 2010 as the “year of the suck”).

5 years later my wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and I spent 18 months as a caregiver watching her fade away (at the same time being unemployed – talk about a one-two punch in the guts).

Life is never perfect. Curve balls happen. Limiting beliefs hold us back. Doubt creeps in. We question our worth and our abilities.

Each event and situation I have lived through has led me to where I am today. Stronger and wiser because of them all and living life on my terms. Living without regret. Living a life that I am proud of. Being the person I want and was made to be.

Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I'm constantly striving to improve myself each day. I’m human, after all. It's this very humanity that brings vibrancy and excitement to life. Together, our shared humanity will help us connect and build a strong partnership, guiding you to live the life you truly deserve.

So, whether you aim to deepen your personal development, cultivate a growth mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, foster meaningful relationships, conquer imposter syndrome, strengthen your leadership skills, or transform your financial mindset, I am here to guide you. Together, we'll explore these pathways and unlock your full potential, helping you achieve the success you've always dreamed of.
