Professional Bio
Paul has been the owner of Briarcliff Hall, a private SAT tutoring service for students taking the college entrance exam, for the past 30 years. In addition, he studied improvisation in Chicago from the very best instructors (some of whom have been finalists for Saturday Night Live).
Paul also spent several years researching corporate culture to see if there was a purposeful relationship between his improv philosophy and the business world. Confident of the connection, he began to teach the benefits of improvisation and right-brain thinking to corporations. At first, 4 companies took a chance on this unique business improv program. By 2018, Paul was giving more than 90 speeches across the country annually to companies such as Amazon, Daimler Trucks, Wells Fargo, Ingersoll Rand, Duke University, and Bell Partners. To date, he has spoken to more than 52,000 business professionals. And in 2019, Paul gave his first TEDx talk on this business improv relationship.
