The Power of Playing Offense in Defen...

The Power of Playing Offense in Defensive Environments:
Performing with Confidence through Change and Adversity
In today's business environment, competitive threats, unrelenting change, rising customer expectations, and economic uncertainty have us all playing defense.

The result? Confidence gaps are created that drive defensive mindsets and actions in organizations across the world.

But what if you had a playbook for playing offense — proactively pursuing and achieving meaningful goals and breakthrough performance — while everyone else is sheltering in place?

This is exactly what Paul delivers in this flagship keynote inspired by 15 years of leading sales teams in the NFL & NBA and his bestselling book, The Power of Playing Offense. Every audience member will walk away with a 5-pillar Playing Offense framework and WIN MONDAY™ playbook, curated for universal insights and actionable takeaways to implement in any industry or organization.

Winning Customers:

Winning Customers:
Attracting and Retaining Fans for Life
How did Paul lead his teams to consistently sell out billion-dollar NFL stadiums with 70,000 fans in historically losing markets? Or transform an NBA team's revenue performance from 28th to 2nd in the league — despite being labeled by ESPN as "the worst brand in sports"?

The answer lies in a powerful, scalable belief system that can be applied to any sales or service environment: Every seat has a story.

This shift from blanket "catch all" campaigns to a dynamic customer-to-customer approach driven by customization, care, and championship service, led to sold-out stadiums and record-breaking revenue, that didn't hinge on wins or losses.

In the sports industry, every seat and fan had a story. In your case, every client has a story. The question is: "Will you get to know it?

" Achieving customer success doesn't depend on perfect market conditions — it depends on consistently making each customer feel valued and seen.

This keynote is HOW to do it, one story at a time.

Making Better Decisions Faster:

Making Better Decisions Faster:
Overcoming Paralysis and Inspiring Action
Even the most elite performers can rush to bad judgements, become paralyzed by indecision, or get worn down by decision fatigue.

In this keynote, Paul reveals the streamlined three-step process he's used to turn around major sports franchises — from the locker room to the boardroom. Avoid decision traps, move forward clear and CONFIDENT, and make the best out of your MVDs: Most Valuable Decisions.

Discover the key to making fast and effective decisions for the questions that keep you up at night:

- Should I choose Strategy A or B?
- Which candidate should I hire?
- What should I spend my time on?
- Do I take this deal, or call it off?
- What are my goals for next year?

The secret? The Head-Heart-Hands equation: a simple and repeatable process that taps into the power of our three most basic human tools for making better decisions faster.

Scaling Championship Culture:

Scaling Championship Culture:
Standards of Excellence to Build a Win Monday™ Organization
Culture can only scale when EVERY person in it takes full ownership, accountability, pride, and a commitment to daily excellence.

That's the spirit of a champion, and culture (when done right) is our ultimate competitive advantage.

This keynote is inspired by Paul's 15 years as a culture-building practitioner in the NFL & NBA (including multiple national awards for his work as Founder of the San Fracisco 49ers Talent Academy), then stress tested across his training and consulting practice to deeply examine: what do the greatest cultures in the world have in common?

The biggest needle-moving insights are revealed in this presentation, centered around a foundational battle cry to WIN MONDAY™.

This is not your average "top down" approach to culture — rather, the program introduces a framework that empowers every individual to take ownership of their local culture while ensuring they feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

As a result, individuals become more engaged, perform at their best, and make meaningful contributions that resonate throughout your organization.
