“pulled me right out of that rut”

Paul is absolutely amazing. His way of coaching is phenomenal. A year ago, I was completely lost and not even treating myself like a human being. I was searching for the answers and I came across Paul. I had done everything, counseling, networking, anything I could do to move out of the rut I was in. Paul was my human winch that pulled me right out of that rut and put me right on track and made me feel good about doing it at the same time. If you don’t use Paul, then it’s your loss. He’s truly awesome!

Awesome guy!

“enormous personal and professional success”

“I started working with Paul approximately 10 years ago. At the time, I was the project manager for a construction company, and then was promoted to Vice President and now the Director of Sales. He listened to my goals, helped me eliminate bad habits, time block for success, control my mindset and I have enjoyed enormous personal and professional success working with him. Highly recommend.”

J.C. Landivar

From the beginning Paul took the time to walk me step by step through starting my path towards becoming a coach. He is a mentor that was willing to teach what he knows while accepting where I currently am in my development. Paul was willing to share his skills, experiences, knowledge, and expertise. He remembers what it was like just starting out and conveying that gave me courage to consider this path. Thank you Paul!!!

“helped me to adjust the lens through which I see myself and the world around me”

I began the experience of life-coaching expecting concrete answers to specific questions. And I didn’t exactly get those answers. BUT in a “teach a man to fish” sense, I did learn some very handy tools to help me approach these (and any future questions) more strategically. Our conversations helped me to adjust the lens through which I see myself and the world around me. So even though I may find myself with my same (or even more!) questions, I feel more confident about my ability to work with them, through them or even love them.

“damn good”

Mr. Strobl was damn good–he knew exactly what I was looking for. A thumbs up for him.

“one of the best decisions that I have ever made”

Paul is really wonderful to talk to and gave me a lot of mentorship and guidance as I moved across the country to find and take on a new career opportunity. He also helped me to reframe and refocus my personal relationships with my parents and my partner, and give me a number of tools and techniques in order to be able to respond to negative circumstances with a focus on positive growth. Investing in myself by hiring Paul to help me to reach higher goals and make major breakthroughs was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Paul can help you to get to where you want to be.

“a wealth of experience from a broad array of professional pursuits and personal endeavors”

I was looking for a change and more fulfillment when I sought a life coach. I did some coaching a few years back on the recommendation of a friend. It was a bit too much theory and very systematic. Paul’s approach has so far been more natural. He has a wealth of experience from a broad array of professional pursuits and personal endeavors that provides a richness to his coaching. He uses excellent communication skills to identify and listen to what I share. Importantly, he gives me the space to express all the things that I otherwise may not express to friends or family. He’s given me perspective on relationships that have been problematic and helped me to explore self-doubt and other sand bags holding me down. The “homework” is tangible and relevant. Many folks I talk to about my experience are very curious, and some of them are seeking their own coaches and/or the resources he’s recommended. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to explore their personal and professional lives from another angle and who need a change agent. There is no magic pill, and it’s an ongoing process, but I am starting to remove barriers I didn’t know existed, and I’m enjoying the process!

“rest assured it will be a life-changing experience”

Paul is a great coach who has the ability to understand what you are going through and make the right questions to help you discover what needs to be done or changed. It was my first experience with coaching many years ago and I still remember how much I enjoyed our meetings! If you get the chance to be coached by Paul rest assured it will be a life-changing experience.

“very worthwhile”

Paul is an excellent life coach and truly helped me find more balance in my life. Through his coaching I was able to relax and go with the flow of life more. Additionally, he helped me through a slump in passion for my career and I am now in an industry I love. I was also able to set healthy boundaries in my family in my friendships. I often go back to the notes I took during our sessions when I am needing a refresher and overall feel like obtaining his services was very worthwhile.

“I highly recommend taking the time to contact him”

My experience with Paul was amazing! He is insightful, intelligent, humorous, and pleasant. His coaching skills are excellent – the sessions are just conversations, but before you know it you have come to a realization or a decision about an action seemingly without effort!!! Speaking with Paul is like talking with an old friend, who just happens to be an amazing coach! I highly recommend taking the time to contact him and have a conversation!!

“I can see now”

Very insightful, makes you look at yourself and events as not personal but learning experiences. While my journey is far from over I feel I can see now.

“I have improved in all areas of my life”

Paul is an amazing listener and helps you understand what may be holding you back from fulfilling your true potential! I have improved in all areas of my life thanks to Paul’s ability to give meaningful examples and methods to handle the unknown or seemingly stressful situations. He has helped me open my eyes to the world, and I am so glad that I didn’t hesitate to schedule my first coaching session with him. It’s such a relief knowing that I don’t actually have to live a life full of suffering! Thank you Paul!!

“one of the best expenditures I have ever made”

Paul was instrumental in helping me change my perspective pertaining to the issues/problems that were preventing me from enjoying life. Paul is very insightful and provided practical and attainable suggestions for overcoming some of my shortcomings, additionally Paul was helpful in highlighting some of my strengths. The money I spent with Paul was one of the best expenditures I have ever made. I highly recommend Paul to everyone – he will give you tools to make your life more fulfilling.

“I still draw on those conversations on an almost daily basis”

During a particularly challenging career change, my boss realized I was “sprinting a marathon” and thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of a career/life coach. Turns out it was a great decision. Paul Strobl gave me the outlet to really talk about the challenges I was facing – and not just the ones at work – and bring to the surface the fears that were impeding the risks I would normally take to drive change. I still draw on those conversations on an almost daily basis and appreciate Paul keeping in touch to help me ‘recharge my batteries.

Emily Ake

It was awesome to speak to someone (in this case, a dedicated executive coach) who understood my company, but could view things from an objective POV. Great experience!

“thought-provoking and productive”

If you are considering working with a life coach, I highly recommend taking the leap and contacting Paul. Working with Paul has been very helpful and enlightening. He is very easy to talk to, he is knowledgeable in many subjects, particularly this field of work. Paul offered positive suggestions that I found to be very helpful. Paul is excellent at seeing many facets of situations and communicating these thoughts back in a way that I found to be thought-provoking and productive.

“Paul is intuitive and a great listener”

I have sought Paul’s guidance over the past several years, for both personal and professional reasons. Paul has amazing insight and helps guide me to consider other perspectives and avenues that lead to my full potential. Paul is intuitive and a great listener. At the end of each session, my next steps are clear and I’m able to immediately move forward. I highly recommend Paul’s coaching services if you’re looking for objective “on the pulse” guidance. Thanks, Paul!

Sheri D.

“very beneficial to my life and business”

Paul is a fantastic coach. During an incredible slow period in my business, I decided to invest in myself and seek out business and life coaching. I strongly believe that beliefs influence our out comes. When I came across Paul’s website here on Yelp, I found his approach was all about changing old beliefs and developing new ones. I decided to do the free consultation.  After speaking to him, I committed a full engagement, and I am thankful for the decision. He was easy to talk to and gave me many tools and reading material to tackle changing my beliefs. I found it very beneficial to my life and business. If you are looking for professional coaching, I highly recommend Paul.

“makes you think beyond and after the conversation”

The entire coaching session was very well organized. Paul has a rich experience in many aspects of life, and his point of view can often points you to another direction which you didn’t think of before but as soon as you heard it you know that’s true. Paul is a very good listener and responder. His point of view makes you think beyond and after the conversation.

Bobby Martin

“I’m so glad I invested in myself!”

Paul has been absolutely amazing to work with. He’s a business and life coach that has helped transform my way of thinking around problem solving, stressful situations and goal orientation. I’m a better version of myself after spending time in each session. Anyone on the fence about getting a coach should absolutely consider contacting Paul. I’m so glad I invested in myself!

“pushed me out of my comfort zone to find my true purpose and passion”

As being my first coach, Paul has helped me along way. He is very patient, calm and he is like my teacher and friend. Paul has pushed me out of my comfort zone to find my true purpose and passion. If you would like to bring your life to a new level, Paul is definitely your guy!

Paul is a pleasure to work with as a life coach. It is obvious from day one that he is invested in your success and wants to do everything in his power to help you accomplish your goals.

“I was asking the wrong questions”

I came to Paul as I was totally stuck on a big life question, and through the coaching sessions and the great reading list I came to realise I was asking the wrong questions. Once I changed direction I able to make really quick progress in setting myself up for success.

“true insights that break self-imposed barriers”

He has the uncanny ability to nurture a conversation with you so that you feel comfortable extracting the truth about your life, your relationships, and your beliefs. His intuitive listening skills allow him to ask you the tough, but necessary questions so that you gain true insights that break self-imposed barriers that hold you back personally and professionally.

Tristan Mackintosh, CEO

“gives me confidence that I didn’t miss any important factors”

As a CEO, talking to Paul every other week gives me a chance to get honest feedback on problems or concerns I have about my startup that I can’t discuss with investors or employees. Sometimes Paul gives me new ideas or another perspective I hadn’t considered yet. Often I have a solution to a specific problem going into the session, knowing that I discussed that solution with someone that is completely objective gives me confidence that I didn’t miss any important factors. I recommend Paul’s coaching to any CEO that wants to get better in what he/she does.

Natalie Sisson

Paul is a powerful coach and an intuitive listener who asks just the right question to give me the perspective that I need.

“I was blocking my own progress and vision”

He is clear and up front with what he can and cannot do for you as a business coach. After our first conversation he was able to help me understand that I had to remove one self limiting belief, he did this with one simple question. Which only I could answer. I was blocking my own progress and vision. My business idea was solid and I knew it was, but with no business experience I wasn’t moving forward. I was intimidated and wasn’t sure if I was being overconfident in my abilities. After getting off the phone with him I made one phone call and was able to get my first contact. I am elated, I now understand that I was on the right track. Gracias Coach Paul!

“Working with Paul is a whole different game.”

I was not one who was a big fan of business coaching. I’d seen too many that seemed to use what is akin to magic when working with people. The results – nothing new, nothing learned. Therefore, when I came to the point where I needed one, I was honest with Paul about my skepticism. Working with Paul is a whole different game. He is informative, challenging, and fun. He has helped me to move through the process in a way that delivers positive results and provides me with essential insight. Our sessions are deep with content and give me a clear path to improving my skills as a business executive.

Daniel Dyer

“encouraging in a way that stayed with me long after we talked”

Paul was very easy to relate to, and had a very strong sense of self-knowledge – I profoundly recommend him, as I feel he would work well in any type of professional dynamic or relationship. Well-spoken, agreeable, and encouraging in a way that stayed with me long after we talked.

I feel as if Paul would be a good resource in the life of any professional, and in the lives of those who consider themselves to be self-aware, entrepreneurial, and dynamic.

Latonya Ellerbee

“…helps you to get to your ‘Aha’ moments!”

When I started working with Paul, I was at a point in life where I knew I wanted a change but didn’t quite know how to proceed with making that happen. Also, I was dealing with some past issues that were hindering me from moving forward. During our second meeting, Paul gave me an assignment to do to address one of my past issues. As soon we hung up, I completed that assignment and have been free ever since!! From that point, we begin to navigate the path to the change I was desiring. After each meeting, I made a step toward that change. Today, I am on the path to realizing that change!!  I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to hire a life and/or executive coach. He’s a great listener and helps you to get to your ‘Aha’ moments!

“helped me prioritize my goals and desires”

Paul was my Life Coach back in 2012, right after I had been laid-off. I was ready to leave that job, but I was somewhat lost about my career direction and my personal life in general. Paul helped me prioritize my goals and desires. I was able to move back to Houston and become a realtor. I got married shortly thereafter. I highly recommend Paul as a Life Coach.

“I’ve grown so much professionally and personally since working with Paul”

Where do I even begin with Paul? He’s amazing. I had no idea how much I needed a coach until Paul and I started working together. I’ve had my company for 11 years, and as we step into this next decade, is it so great to have someone to strategize and brainstorm with. I have big dreams and goals for my company, but don’t always know how to articulate them or make sense of them. Paul’s gift is that he listens and asks the right questions. He’s a sounding board and helps you get to the answers that are within you. I’ve grown so much professionally and personally since working with Paul. My team is energized because I am energized. Ask them–they love Paul as much as I do!

“one who leads the life he promotes”

Paul gave excellent resources along the way and steered me on my expanded journey of enlightenment and loving ‘what is,’ finding happiness, and needing less. His own life is an inspiration for this journey…so following the path of one who leads the life he promotes is a true sign of leadership. I would highly recommend his skills to help anyone who wants to ‘suck the marrow of life’ and get closer to finding your true reality and happiness.

Hiring Paul as my Life Coach was the BEST decision I have made, and it was actually my Husband who suggested it.

I truly feel he has helped put me on the path to success in all areas of my life. FANTASTIC!!!

“…a life changing experience.”

I had the pleasure of partnering with Paul Strobl for life coaching. It has been a life changing experience. I have worked with counselors and coaches in the past, but his approach truly worked best for me. He is able to carefully listen and pick the best tools that improve my cognitive reasoning and decision management. He shared books and articles after sessions that helped solidify these concepts. He is also very personable and kind and feels like talking to a wise friend. I frequently reflect back on things I learned from him along the way. I wish him the best in his endeavors, he is passionate about what he does and great at it.

Paul was awesome. He is extremely easy to talk to. When we first spoke I was thinking about starting a business and not knowing completely what I was looking for.

If you are looking for some guidance or a coach, you cannot go wrong by giving Paul Strobl a call.

Regardless, you will be a better version of yourself. Highly recommend!!!

“10/10 recommend!”

Paul was an amazing coach! I hired him for a business coaching class for our preferred Realtors in the community and they all raved about Paul’s teaching and the assessment he provided. He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very personal. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, he even helped me clean up at the end of the event. I can’t wait to have him come out again! 10/10 recommend!

“much more clarity in my life”

Paul is a awesome coach. I’ve always considered myself a glass half-full type of person. However, Paul has helped me increase my cup even more by guiding me through the process of overcoming self sabotaging thinking that is no longer serving me. As a result, I have much more clarity in my life. Looking forward to working with Paul for years to come. I highly recommend booking your first session with Paul.

“Paul’s coaching sessions are invaluable; they will change your life”

Two years after a devastating divorce I was still stuck in the same belief systems and behaviors that weren’t working. Coming across Paul’s website in the wee small and lonely hours of the morning was the best thing that happened to me in a long time. Paul is insightful, thought-provoking, easy-going, and funny. He helped me cut through the nonsense of the old patterns and begin to see life as something wonderful, hopeful, and joyful. I will be forever grateful. I simply can’t say it too loudly or too often: Paul’s coaching sessions are invaluable; they will change your life.

“A Game Changer”

My time with Paul as a life coach has been a game changer. We have worked together on everything from organizational skills, to parenting, to meal planning and health! He is insightful, thoughtful, and excellent at finding the right story, book, quote, or blog post to give a new perspective on a real problem. I was concerned about working over the phone with someone in this capacity, but Paul’s personality and complete attention during every conversation made him feel like an instant friend. As someone going through a career change, several moves, and an ever-increasing demand on my time from multiple fronts, Paul’s coaching helped me focus, prioritize, and ultimately find balance in my life again.

His coaching style and practice has been a breath of fresh air in a corporate world full of transaction talk and sales pitches. Extremely business savvy, Paul understands how to make “high achievers” achieve even more in their life in all aspects: financially, professionally, physically and personally. Besides being a terrific coach, he’s an all around terrific business partner who adds strong counsel to any hurdle, both professionally and personally speaking. Can not recommend him enough!

Paul has a great knack for listening and understanding what you want from his coaching. He then brings you a new way to look at the issues you want to work on.
