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 talk.

Welcome to a championship culture, that scales.
