Beyond work, Paul cherishes time with his family (a tribe of 4), and has a slight obsession with bacon—just don’t make it too crispy.

Culture can only scale when EVERY person in it takes full ownership, accountability, pride, and a commitment to daily excellence. ‍ That’s the spirit of a champion, and culture (when done right) is our ultimate competitive advantage. ‍ This keynote is inspired by Paul’s 15 years as a culture-building practitioner in the NFL & NBA (including multiple national awards for his work as Founder of the San Fracisco 49ers Talent Academy), then stress tested across his training and consulting practice to deeply examine: what do the greatest cultures in the world have in common? ‍ The biggest needle moving insights are revealed in this talk. ‍ Warning: this is not a classic ‘top down’ approach to culture. This is a framework where every individual owns their local culture, feeling seen, valued, and recognized. As a result their buy-in, performance, and contributions skyrocket as individuals, and it spreads deep and wide through your organization. ‍ Welcome to a championship culture, that scales. ...less

Sales is the lifeblood of every organization. Without it, there is no business to operate. No people to employ. No purpose to fulfill. No impact to ignite in the market. CONFIDENCE is what makes it all possible. Paul realized how confidence can be the ultimate separator and competitive advantage needed to win as a sales leader in the NFL and NBA, breaking the all-time Super Bowl revenue record, surpassing billion-dollar goals while opening new NFL stadiums, and transforming cellar-dwelling NBA teams from 28th in league revenue to 2nd within a single season. ‍ This keynote unpacks exactly how he and his teams did it. The lessons and insights are industry agnostic and universally applicable. It’s the perfect blend of sales mindset and winning psychology, coupled with tactical toolkits to maximize confidence and achieve breakthrough performance…immediately. ...less
