How Paulie’s journey began

Coaching is in my DNA.

I’ve been helping people resolve their problems for as long as I can remember and I love it! When I began my professional coaching journey, I was a corporate recruiter. In this role, I helped candidates identify and eliminate the monkey mind holding them back from getting the jobs they wanted and mentored them to speak with confidence and secure that elusive opportunity.

As I moved into consulting roles, I found myself working with people who were tired of feeling invisible, dismissed, and not taken seriously. Through experiential mentoring and proven coaching strategies, these people found their voice, learned to stand in their power, and accelerated their careers.

With decades of consulting experience, I’ve coached, mentored, and trained people of all levels (from C-suite to managers to team members) and across all walks of life. I hold the ICF-ACC (International Coaching Federation, Associate Coaching Certification); earned several Agile certifications; am an Imposter Syndrome Practitioner; and have obtained the NLP, HNLP, and hypnosis master practitioner certifications. Oh yeah, and my BA is in Organizational Leadership from Bethel University to round it all out.

This combination of life experience, professional expertise, and training gives me a unique skillset to help people achieve fast and lasting results when they are ready to take action. Are you ready?
