Hi, I'm Paul
For more than 30 years I have been helping leaders grow. I have worked with over a thousand people through interactive training, 1:1 and group coaching, and keynote speaking. I work the way I would want to be served: warmly, practically, and without pressure.
Everything you accomplish in life is through relationships. My job is simply to help you grow yours.

Inside a workshop
The A.C.T. approach
One simple path: Assess, Coach, Train.
Assess.
Start by listening.
We begin with a collaborative Culture Assessment to understand your team: where you are already doing well, where there is room to grow, and a few clear recommendations to start from.
Coach.
Where knowing becomes doing.
Personal and small group coaching that helps leaders live out what they learn, every day.
Train.
Interactive, personal, real.
Highly interactive, tailored workshops where people learn through dialogue, not lecture.
What leaders say
I wish I had signed up for this course years ago!...My mid-course assessment showed a 24% improvement from baseline...Paul really cares and is wholeheartedly considerate. His core values reflect his passion for leading and teaching in the professional world that I suddenly found myself immersed in.
Personally, I have gained so much from our sessions, and I am always happy to continue recommending your services to other municipalities. Your energy is incredibly calming, and you have a real gift for connecting with a wide range of personalities, which is no easy feat.
Paul Kiss is fantastic! He made everyone feel at home and comfortable right away. His workshop was really good.
Let's talk about your team.
No pitch and no pressure, just a real conversation about where your team is and how I might help.
