Client Comments
“Paul is one of the most gifted consultants I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only does he know his material cold, he also has an innate ability to connect with audiences at all different levels. He is truly easy to work with because he is smart, intuitive, extremely skilled, has a wonderful sense of humor. and is just an all around nice guy.”
“I think I misspoke that everyone was pleased with the class . . . they were ecstatic! These are the best evals we have ever seen . . . I really feel lucky to have such a great resource. Thank you.”
“This was the best workshop I’ve ever attended, very well put together, very effective!”
“Reason #9 to get an MBA at MIT/Sloan: I just took Paul Hellman’s workshop for Sloan MBAs during the school’s innovation week.”
“Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop last week! I heard great feedback all around, including a number of ‘that one thing, I’m going to do that!!’ The overwhelming feedback was just how engaging you are and I completely agree. Look forward to the next time we work together.”
“Paul worked with a group of our high potential leaders, preparing them for a high stakes presentation to senior executives. After Paul’s training and coaching, the participants hit their presentations out of the park. The feedback from senior executives was extremely positive, and I saw a distinct difference in their presentations in just one day. Paul’s performance affirmed that when it comes to high stakes presentations, he’s the best.”
“As always, Paul did a terrific job, and I think the team had fun while they learned. Paul really is a gem and I hope other groups here get to work with him.””
“I heartily recommend Paul as a consultant, speaker and facilitator. Paul consistently delivers high quality programs that he customizes to a wide range of groups. He is well received by managers at all levels in our organization not only because of what he delivers, but who he is – an expert in his field and a true professional.”
“Outstanding! Useful tips and tricks to capture the audience.”
“Excellent work for our Leadership Forum! You quickly won over our often skeptical participants. That was clearly evidenced by the standing room only turn out for your follow up break out session. The time you spent prior to the conference to understand our program goals, business issues and culture really paid off. The comments from senior leaders have been consistently positive. I’ve since heard many references to how they’re applying your suggestions.”
“Paul, it was one of the best business seminars I’ve ever attended, in or out of IMS (Institute for Management Studies). We in the audience knew we were in the hands of an expert. You are a ‘go-to’ source, a person of authority who knows what he’s talking about. I’m sure we’ll work together many times over the years. What a great start!”
“Exceptional, engaging and practical. Very well done.”
“Dear Paul, Thank you very much for a fantastic day of training in Zug! The team absolutely loved it and it’s been the first time that I’ve seen us all together totally engaged and committed, and that was thanks to you.”
“The workshop was outstanding, not only for helping me to improve but for giving me tools that I can use to coach my team. (I even coached my VP following his presentation!)”
“Thank you for such a great day. The material was engaging and timely, with many of our leaders putting their learnings to work right away. Fabulous job.”

“Thanks SO MUCH for your amazing workshop. A must for anyone who cares about speaking effectively.”
“I was thoroughly engaged for two days. That doesn’t happen very often at trainings (almost never!)”
“I walk away from many seminars feeling that the presenter was just summarizing common sense. With this seminar, I found I was listening to fresh ideas with fresh examples, and could use these tips to deal with situations in which I’ve previously been frustrated.”
“If you want someone who will really make your people feel good and, at the same time teach them techniques that make a difference on the job, call Paul Hellman.”

“You have been so impressive, with your clear thinking, ability to absorb so much different content, and never-ending patience with our last minute stuff. You have most definitely made our program much better than it would have been without you. Thanks and I look forward to our next project together (and there WILL be a next time!)”

Paul’s style works well with all audiences. A terrific speaker and presenter, he’s also one of the best facilitators I know. Plus, he’s incredibly easy to work with.”
