Paul Shirley
Paul captivated our athletes with his storytelling ability. As a former student-athlete, he related well and engaged our athletes through the common bond of playing collegiate athletics. Paul was very accommodating and asked lots of questions to determine what we needed as an emphasis for our athletes.

Faced with a crowd of 200 rambunctious college students, Paul was able to entertain AND enlighten. This is no small feat, as any professor knows all too well!

Professor, Economics, Southern Utah University
Paul was able to capture the attention of our nearly 800 student-athletes through his quick and witty humor. His presentation, which used his own life story of highs, lows, loves lost and working hard to achieve success was well worth the commitment we made to bring him to Limestone College to speak. .

Assistant Athletic Director
Limestone College
Paul's talk was a hit with our highly intelligent and mindful audience. He was confident, funny, charming, and most important, authentic. He told memorable stories with easy, actionable takeaways, and had one of the longest lines of people waiting to speak to him after the event. Paul's talk exceeded all of our expectations and we can't wait to have him back!
