Paul’s mission:

A global pandemic, in addition to the pre-existing reality of demanding, hectic lives with plenty of day-to-day stress, has led to the Great Resignation. As a result, people worldwide are considering their options to get out of the traditional workplace.

Hiring and retaining talent is an emerging crisis for many workplaces. Presenteeism (showing up but not engaging effectively) is at an all-time high. Everywhere we see signs of a tired, depressed workforce.

Paul Krismer helps organizations provide an antidote — energizing their workforce through practical actions that not only win employee retention, but boost productivity, creativity, and profits.

Paul’s expertise:

Paul Krismer is a teacher at heart. He can easily take his subjects deep into multi-day training. Paul Krismer regularly does keynotes varying in length from 20 minutes to 90 minutes. Paul Krismer loves to get participants digging deep and planning their own actions in breakouts and workshops.

Broadly speaking, Paul Krismer’s expertise is three-fold:

  1. Applied positive psychology
  2. Leadership
  3. Workplace Culture

There is overlap and synergy in all of Paul Krismer’s areas of expertise. A talk often combines different facets of each topic, based on the customization appropriate for specific client needs.

Feedback from the talk was very positive and we look forward to bringing him back at some point in the future for other presentations.

Eli Baker

As a public speaker, Paul was inspiring. Just right . . . not pushy or contrived, rather he was 100% committed to his mission. It was an offering, take it or leave it. I loved it. Paul is a friendly, confident speaker with no overinflated personality. Great delivery. Great message.
