Dion Evans

SVP at BJ’s Wholesale Club

Upon accepting a large and challenging role at a new company I knew that my ability to successfully onboard would be critical to my personal success, the success of my team and the success of my business. Paul came highly recommended so we connected and I hired him as my coach. Paul offered incredible insights, some very helpful planning tools and has been a great sounding board. He is an incredible listener and quickly discerns the most salient information. His ability to identify the (often simple) adjustments that will make a big impact is incredibly impressive. He has an innate understanding of complex organizational and team dynamics which combined with his great personal experience results in invaluable coaching. I would definitely recommend that leaders moving into new roles consider working with Paul.
