"Paul’s contribution to our organization was absolutely invaluable at a very critical time. Over the course of a year, he helped facilitate the merging of two organizations and then worked closely with me and the CEO to design the first meeting of the newly merged board. By helping us build consensus and create a shared understanding of the direction of the new organization, Paul played a central role in ensuring the success of the merger. He is professional, thorough, and detail-oriented, so every base was covered along the way. Additionally, he is fun and personable, so all members felt comfortable working with him. I thoroughly enjoy working with Paul, and I have already recommended him to several other organizations who could benefit from his approach."

"Paul has a keen sense of group dynamics and an ability to get to the heart of what needs to be on the table in order to move a group forward. In all his work with us - from the learning design of our flagship program to facilitating high-stakes meetings for us - Paul consistently brings a strategic mindset, an authentic spirit of collaboration, and a lot of very practical tools that have helped us produce outstanding results. I consider Paul a key partner in helping us achieve our ambitious goals."

"Paul facilitated a three-day strategic planning retreat for the leadership of our organization and 25 of our closest friends and partners. The issues were complex and the group diverse and accomplished, and Paul ensured that we were thoroughly prepared and he shepherded us through a rich, engaging, and highly productive process. He was both focused and flexible, and used just the right balance of rigor and humor to keep this hard-charging group on track. In the end, we came away with much more clarity than we had expected to achieve, and we all felt grateful to Paul for his skillful facilitation of our time together."

He is able to join his considerable understanding of client needs with the concepts and tools that can and will be able to make a difference in people's behavior in an organization.

In his professional work with me as coach and mentor, Paul's philosophy is about transformation - one person and one organization at a time. Paul's one-on-one coaching IS transformative, because Paul has exceptional instincts in helping his coachees see hidden aspects of themselves and their organizations in order to work with them explicitly."
