Client Testimonials

Paul is an extraordinary coach! We had an instant connection from our very first meeting, including insights {into my professional soul} that I was able to apply immediately, as well as direction for me to consider in my longer-term development. I’ve often heard people refer to exec coaching as free therapy, but with Paul it is about constructive discussion and application to a jointly created framework for professional growth. Every meeting starts with a bit of flexibility and then hones into how to address near-term concerns and longer-term goals. Paul is well tenured; has extensive examples; is articulate; and most importantly a terrific human being. I’m so honored that our paths have met; and hope to continue executive coaching with Paul over the course of my career.

Paul is a deeply thoughtful, constructive, and supportive coach. Our coaching partnership advanced my level of confidence in my ability to lead a dynamic organization through startup and into public launch. He also encouraged me to clarify and project my own style of leadership. I continue to refine my own leadership using the tools that Paul provided and am deeply grateful for his guidance and understanding. I am looking forward to working together again soon.

Paul has helped me discovered my leadership style and articulated the strengths that I could capitalized upon. He spotted nuances in how I interact and drew up plans for me to broaden my leadership scope. I am a more effective leader and manager because of Paul. I highly recommend his coaching.

Working with Paul as my executive coach was a unique and fulfilling experience. Paul’s teaching’s and methods has a way of driving one’s focus to their core values, and in my case, it helped me to understand and process my internal values in relation with my environment. His VOICE model is one that I continue to use since it has helped me lead my teams with a strong purpose in alignment with our goals. Keeping a balance on the scale of intent and outcomes requires a constant assessment, and can be challenging for various reasons, but this is one of the areas Paul made a significant impact to my team’s growth, productivity and my career.

K.A., VP, Engineering, SAP, USA

As a client my experience with Paul was that he really got you to think about what it means to be a leader – i.e., how you show up as a leader to your own leadership, your peers, and your team members. He pushed me beyond my comfort zone…in a good way. Paul is caring, thoughtful, and genuine. While always respectful he did call you on your own B.S. which was appreciated. Cannot recommend Paul highly enough and look forward to working with him again.

J.G., Executive Director, Kaiser Permanente, USA

I highly recommend you use Paul for your own Executive Coaching needs. I was fortunate to have Paul as my leadership coach for two years. Paul provided me with a unique perspective and solid suggestions that helped me raise my game. Paul is a great listener and he comes back with questions that will challenge your thinking and make you more introspective. With a focus on my own brand and voice as detailed in his book Find your Voice as a Leader, Paul helped me understand the key actions I needed to undertake to be successful as leader.

I’ve particularly impressed by Paul’s dedication, his willingness to take extra steps to understand our business context as well as the participants, his thoughtfulness in proposing a very insightful & logical approach. Paul is also very approachable & great with large audiences as well. He goes extra miles not just to ensure overall agenda is delivered, but also each & every participants received reasonable opportunities to learn. Paul is smart, sharp, very knowledgeable but also very humble and always open for different ideas/opinions. It has always been great to work with Paul – he clearly delivers above & beyond our expectations. We look forward to continue coordinating with Paul.

We, ITD World Philippines partnered with Together We Can Change the World for a Global Leadership Boot Camp last January 27, 2016. We had Paul deliver the final and one of the most impactful topics that day. We commend him for being able to relate and engage our participants so well. We received good feedback from them and can’t wait to bring him back here in PH!

I had the opportunity to partner with Paul Larsen on a HR/Legal Presentation for the Southern Oncology Association of Practices (SOAP) Spring Conference. Through his interactive and entertaining speaking style, Paul delivers clear messages without being cliché. He has an uncanny ability to connect with people and his depth of experience in dealing with office communication issues is a practical guide to anyone in any industry.

S.F., Professional Speaker, USA

I worked with Paul for several years to address a wide variety of coaching issues including career trajectory, genuine engagement, and finding my voice as a leader. He was an astute partner and a wonderfully capable active listener—always mindful of bringing the best out of me, and offering his advice view when we hit a roadblock, and only ever with my permission. The biggest takeaways in working with Paul were a much stronger and deeper level of self-awareness, a rich practice of being hyper-intentional in my goals and outcomes, and purposefully owning my narrative, brand, and legacy. Plus, he’s a wonderful human being and a snazzy dresser. If you’re looking for someone that can help you reach the next level of your career, he gets my strongest endorsement.
