Speaker

Meet Paul Glover: Resilience Keynote Speaker, Educator, Executive Coach, Author, “Recovering” Lawyer & Ex-Felon.

One Topic and One Topic Only:

How Individuals and Organizations Can Become More Successful by Becoming More Resilient

While Paul is qualified to speak on a variety of topics – Leadership, Corporate Social Responsibility, High Performance Team Building, Coaching, Mentoring –  he chooses to concentrate on only one: The Importance of Resilience in the Workplace for Organizations, Team Leaders and Team Members.

Why? Because of his personal experience coping with adversity and his professional experience as a Coach, coaching Team Leaders from the front line to the C Suite, he believes there is not a more important topic for an organization’s Leaders to understand and practice than the ability to overcome setbacks and move forward.

4. Highly Immersive.

Paul connects with audiences before, during and after each event to create memorable moments.
