Speaking
He cares deeply about the future of our communities and companies and believes we are going to need leaders that think and act differently. Paul is ready to share a vital message with corporations, nonprofits, and associations to enable and empower more effective leaders, Rebuilders, for the decade ahead.
His message is for socially-conscious and civically-active leaders that are 1) already starting to redefine the leader they need to be for an unequal, siloed America, and 2) hungry for clarity, stories, and direction. Whether you are thinking about your individual leadership, the teams you are a part of, or your organization, his talk will provide perspective, inspiration, and a path forward. His current schedule is available online.
