- Yeah. I’m that kid who was abused by an alcoholic father and almost fell through the cracks
- I felt invisible and unheard
- I suffered from severely low self-esteem and conditioned myself to believe I wasn’t worthy and resigned myself to believe that was how it was always going to be
-
My narrative was pitifully self-destructive, until one day, unexpectedly, everything changed…
-
I rescued myself and discovered the awesome power of actually believing in myself and my self-worth
-
I followed my every dream and success welcomed me
-
I went on to help hundreds of others do the same, including victims of brutal crimes who had given up hope
-
I was trained in human behavior by some of the best in behavioral sciences
-
I became an expert on how to beat self-sabotage
-
That’s what I offer you: Proven principles to help you "Take Control of Your Life", change your mindset, and live the life you deserve to live
- Discover what self-sabotage is. Once you understand what it is and how you’ve been affected by it, that awareness will open the gateway to taking control of it and ending its control of you. You will become your own “Hostage Negotiator”.
- What is confidence and how do we deploy it? Like a skilled professional, you’ll discover not only what confidence is and what it can do, but you’ll lean methods to draw into it whenever you choose it - which should be always.
-
What is courage and how do we deploy it? Similar to confidence, courage is a virtue that we need to tap into often. You’ll discover methods on how to do that and how to be more confident and courageous in your relationships, your personal and professional lives.

As accomplished as Paul’s career has been – and continues to be, his life has been equally influenced by events in his youth that were beyond his control.
As a survivor of severe physical and emotional abuse by an alcoholic father, he experienced firsthand the loss of hope and destructive internal dialogue that can immobilize a person as effectively as any prison.
Suffering from low self-esteem, anxiety and depression at an early age, Paul experienced a moment in grade 7 that turned his life around and led him to confidently take control of his life. He credits that moment for providing him the personal power to achieve many successes, both personally and professionally.
He became the policeman he promised himself he’d become to arrest men like his father, and he has made it his life’s mission to guide others through the thoughts and experiences in their lives that hold them hostage, just as his thoughts had once done to him.
He now speaks to thousands of people-in large audiences and one on one about what they can do not only to overcome their fears and challenges, but also to confidently step forward into a new, happier and more fulfilled life.

Paul was an excellent speaker. His content was unique and he was very engaging. He was able to take his years of experience in hostage negotiation and make it relatable to our sales industry. Our audience left with useful techniques to improve customer engagement and negotiate fair business. I would highly recommend Paul.
