“Paul’s talent for developing and executing people development programs is top notch. His coaching skills are head and shoulders above the norm. His years in sales and sales management give him a solid understanding of team dynamics and what it takes to win in and out of the office.”
JEFF
Sales Executive, Pittsburgh, PA
“I truly am not exaggerating when I tell you that my life has permanently changed for the better with just the few sessions we had together. My business and partnership…is stronger than I could have imagined. Thank you for your assistance and coaching. Thanks for giving me coping techniques, improved communication skills, and most of all the ability to direct my focus outside of myself and on to other people’s success.”
Dan
Business Owner, Akron, OH
“I am very thankful to know Paul and have him as my performance coach. The process started with my desire to improve my golf game, but the program was much more than I ever imagined. I did not realize how my inner dialogue was affecting my overall life. Paul helped me understand myself better and develop an action plan that continues to evolve as I evolve. I really enjoy our conversations; he is a great listener and he has helped me get the most out of myself. He gave me the tools to help manage family, work and of course golf!
Dr Vic Kalman
Orthopedic Surgeon/Sports Medicine
“He has a wonderful, optimistic outlook on life and approaches business with passion, intellect and a sense of humor that make you want to work harder, smarter and faster because he successfully conveys the importance of what you’re doing. I would highly recommend Paul if you’re looking for someone to help guide you to becoming a better manager, and for that matter, a better person.”
Ty
Account Executive, Chicago, IL
“As a leader / coach he had a huge impact on the business at the time and continues to impact our company by the skills he passed along to the future leaders he developed. Paul is passionate about his business and won’t give up until he and his team have crossed the finish line together.”
Kyle
Director, Cleveland, OH
“Paul has helped me to enjoy competition. Not as something where I try to defeat another, but as an event where I experience the joy of the moment. Working with Paul has helped me to avoid paralysis by analysis. He has helped me to enjoy “annoying” golfers who in the past would have affected my game. Paul has helped me to enjoy all my moments on the course, even when my results are not what I would have previously expected. However, as important as these things can be for many golfers, Paul has helped me (and those who interact with me) in more significant ways. What I have learned from working with Paul Monahan has helped my Personal, Family, Social, and Professional aspects of life.”
