Throughout my career as a corporate executive and entrepreneur, I’ve encountered a number of executive coaches and Paul ranks among the best. Especially during times of transition and navigating uncertainty, working with Paul has been nothing short of transformational. He has an unusual ability to facilitate deep and lasting insights that have been instrumental in shaping my personal and professional growth. Paul brings patience, wisdom, and extensive experience that has been invaluable in helping me to manage through change, be it in corporate politics, team dynamics, complex decision making, work/life balance, and career planning.

“In addition to Paul’s 1 on 1 coaching, I was privileged to be a part of his Catalyst Cohort. The group was magical and felt natural, and the creation of a new space for people with both congruent and complementary pursuits was a great pairing with the individual attention. If you are seeking to shift from suffering alone with the remnants of work experiences that leave you with trappings of doubt and thought, I recommend you have a conversation with Paul about your aspirations and options. I’m glad I did, because with Paul’s help I was able to form a better mental model in a natural way, with experienced guidance, a wealth of resources, and also a sense of community. Paul’s experience and demeanor allows (and expects) one to be a full, autonomous partner in their relationships with themselves and what they hold dear, with their relationship to others, and also with their chosen avocation. It has been an empowering experience.” - Jim T., Former Agile Coach

“I went into the group with few expectations, looking for a deliberate bridge between Zen practice and work. I found a community of like-minded people and an evergreen framework to evaluate and integrate the various ways I relate to myself, others and work.” - CY, Robotics Startup Founder.

“Working with Paul is like meeting an alchemist at an enchanted amusement park. It is an adventure-packed source of inspiration, where you learn how to bring joy to your day-to-day. Paul is truly gifted in quickly understanding how to align your strengths with your goals. His practice employs a very thorough approach to discovery and learning that yields deep and abiding change. Like a doctor who wants his patients to be healthy on their own, Paul selflessly guides others to see and maintain their own path to fulfillment. His work is truly bringing change to the world, one being at a time.” - E. Nava, Writer & Founder of Tumbleweed Pioneer.

“As a senior software engineer facing a period of unemployment, I have grappled with self-doubt, anxiety, and imposter syndrome. I began working with Paul to help me manage these negative thoughts. By sharing his mindfulness techniques and perspectives informed by Zen philosophy, Paul has helped me to better navigate these obstacles and use my job search as an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. My work with Paul has been profoundly positive.” - MG, Senior Software Engineer

“I learned of Paul’s work at a point in my life where I felt quite “stuck” regarding my work. I had achieved some success but felt unsatisfied and somewhat burned out. Paul was quickly able to identify the issues and help me discern what I felt passionate about. He gave me extremely practical advice that felt totally aligned with what I was looking for in the bigger picture. In addition to practical suggestions, his focus on meaningful work that aligns with my deeper values was highly appreciated and helpful. After just a few sessions, I was already on a clear and moving path toward the next stage of my career in a way that felt deeply “right” for me.” - SL, Entrepreneur

I have had the great pleasure of working with Paul for the last few years. His Zen@Work teachings have helped me tremendously. He does a great job of teaching me Zen Buddhist lessons that work well for my career and life. He helps me deal with co-workers, employees, investors, friends, and my children. Paul has opened up pathways that have enhanced my spiritual journey and helped me get closer to daily enlightenment. Through our work together, I have learned so many things that will stay with me forever. I sincerely appreciate our relationship and look forward to continuing to work together.

Paul’s depth and breadth across mindfulness and business allows him to meet you wherever you are. I began working with him to ensure the next part of my career was sacred and purposeful. That came together quicker than I imagined possible. So our meetings transitioned into Paul holding me accountable, reminding me to be kind to myself and helping me craft a methodology (which included a meditation practice) that helped keep me focused on the present and away from the worry, anxiety and stress that shows up without directed intention. It remains a practice, but now I know what to practice.

Zen@Work has given me new insights into how to approach my work life and how to integrate work with my passion for spiritual growth and more deepened awareness. The result has been a transformation in how I approach work. I have also reduced my stress level tremendously, while also increasing my creativity on the job. The end result is that I am more productive and at the same time I can listen to my work colleagues in a whole new way that allows for more connection.

Paul’s knowledge and practice of Zen Buddhism deeply inform his Zen@Work practice. I was fortunate to join one of his first groups of clients. With his guidance and humor, I learned about myself and discovered how my personal mission is expressed through my work life. It’s been a fulfilling adventure - that continues today. Thank you, Paul
