ABOUT PAUL:

Paul's a National Geographic explorer, best-selling author, and former professional kayaker, who's been coaching for over 30 years. He's coached billionaire CEOs, Iconic brands, and celebrities on the set of nationally syndicated shows and award-winning documentaries, and is a regular guest coach at events and workshops around the world. Story is the most powerful tool for compelling human beings, but most businesses and their leaders don't leverage it properly. Paul developed Tributary Coaching® to create positive change in the lives of business owners and the communities in which they serve by helping them clarify their message using story, transforming their marketing, sales, and leadership. Everyone at Tributary Coaching® is driven to help people thrive while finding happiness and renewed purpose in their lives. Paul's story began as a professional ‘action sports’ coach and athlete, developing and managing programs for a leading company in his field. It was during those adventures that he learned the importance of coaching, commitment, and operating in the moment with intense focus and determination while simultaneously managing fear and self-doubt. It turns out the natural world can be one of life’s greatest teachers as long as you 'attend class’ regularly.

KEY POINTS:

Clarity creates momentum – Simplifying your strategy and focusing on what truly matters helps you build sustainable growth without burning out.
Systems scale your business – Streamlined processes and automation free up your time so you can step fully into leadership and vision.
Lead with alignment – Shifting from survival mode to leading as a “Kingdom CEO” allows you to operate from authority, purpose, and overflow.
