Paul was instrumental in helping calm Wall Street after an employee's careless comments caused a market panic.
Paul's calmness, planning and journalist network kicked into action and the entire incident was over and the markets calmed within a day.
Paul is the ultimate confidant and cheerleader for any CEO.
Jay Hummel
Financial Services Executive
In a world where content is king, we knew we had to think differently about our businesses. Paul took a guy (me) who had done enough media appearances to be dangerous and helped me become comfortable enough to host a call-in TV show; a SiriusXM radio show; and one of the financial industry’s top viewed podcasts.
We might not win any Emmys, but his work to develop my on-camera presence, as well as help design and produce the content, has changed the brand of our businesses. We have a content pillar today because of Paul’s leadership.
Mike Liss
Portfolio Manager
Portfolio managers are often "behind the scenes" kinds of people, but interacting with media outlets can be an important part of the job. I didn’t have deep experience with on-camera performance until I began to work with Paul.
But he made sure I had the tools I needed to credibly work in front of the camera. He even got me booked for a half-hour appearance on Bloomberg TV’s morning show to talk live, on-set, about companies in the news.
I guess I did OK since they invited me back for a return appearance!
Kristen Harris
Corporate Executive
As an executive at a large company, I had plenty of experience with presenting to a variety of audiences. What I didn't know was the importance of having media training once I accepted a new position focused on global employees, customers and communities. With limited exposure to reporters and live interviews, this new role was a different ball game.
Paul provided extensive training that increased my comfort level on-camera, helped focus messaging, showcase authenticity and credibility as well as prepare for curve balls—and there were always some. Most important, he taught me to how to enjoy the process. I ultimately became a top brand representative and highly sought-after guest panelist and keynote speaker for my areas of expertise.
