Life Coaching for Multipotentialites, Scanners, Polymaths and Renaissance People
Hi, I’m Paul.
I felt like there was something wrong with me until I accepted and embraced my multipotentialite mind.
Throughout my two decades of life coaching, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals make BIG changes in their lives and reconnect with what really matters.
I offer a free one-on-one trial session (60 minutes) to see whether we’re a fit for working together.
The worst case scenario is that you walk away with new insights and strategies for what’s next.
Grab a coffee, pick up the phone and let’s have a chat.

3 Steps to a Life You Love
STEP ONE – ELIMINATE INFLUENCES
Beliefs
Before we even consider what’s next for you, we have to make absolutely certain that the script you are writing is yours and yours alone.
We do this by looking at any beliefs about yourself or the world that may be sabotaging your efforts.
Relationships
What types of relationships affect your world view? Are there people you are afraid to disappoint? Who’s in your corner, and who drains your energy?
Your next step may be unconventional, so it’s important you have the right people supporting you.
Culture
What other influences or experiences could be in the way of your creating your ideal life?
We will question assumptions of who you are supposed to be from every angle in order to have a truly clean slate to begin.
STEP TWO – ORGANIZING & PRIORITIZING
Remove Distractions
If our time is the most valuable asset, then our attention is the currency.
Learn how to eliminate distractions that take us away from what’s most important to focus on right now.
Habit Change
Develop the habits that are in line with who you are and what you want to create.
Break the habits that do not serve you.
Implement Systems
Get more done in less time, get rid of non-essential time-wasters, and carve out more time for you to work and create.
More systems will not make for a boring life-quite the opposite-they will free you up to do more for what you want.
STEP THREE – CREATE WHAT’S NEXT
(The fun part!)
From Chaos to Organized Curiosity
Once you have eliminated influences and developed the right systems, then you start creating. We will prototype several paths that may have an order of operations or simultaneous execution.
Either way, you will have clear focus on what’s next, but a system flexible enough to change and pivot as your interests inevitably ebb and flow. Your time management will be more accurate to scope the next project, and you will no longer feel like you are furiously juggling a hundred things in your life.
Preparing for Launch
If one of your chosen paths involves starting your own business – fear not. I’ve helped hundreds of individuals start their new thing. We’ll start with an Entrepreneurial Assessment (the same one I use at top MBA programs!) to see the best way to build your business.
While there is certainly a lot of work invovled, you won’t waste your time on things that don’t work so you can focus your energies on what you want to do more of and less of what you don’t!
The path to clear action begins with a phone call.
Book time in my calendar now, and we’ll have a chat to see if we’re a fit for working together.
What Fellow Multipods Say
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!
Paul 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. Paul’s got a great list of resources that he has shared to complement our discussions. The “homework” is tangible and relevant. 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!
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Life Coaching?
The life coaching conversation is designed to shed light on your blind spots, provide new perspectives, identify your innermost values, and to take action on moving toward the person you wish to become.
The goal is for you, the client, to walk away from a coaching engagement lighter, more focused, confident and with a new set of tools to move forward.
How does it work?
We will speak once per week for about an hour and there will be recommended “homework” consisting of exercises, books or websites to help with specific areas that you are stuck.
There is unlimited email support between sessions.
How long does a Life Coaching engagement last?
Usually around 2-3 months (8-12 sessions) clients are “done.” This means we’ve unblocked the heavy stuff, and you have the clarity, confidence and tools to move forward.
You are super-excited about your direction, and if we had another session, there would be nothing to talk about because you’d already be taking action.
You decide when the coaching engagement ends, not me.
How is the Life Coaching Process structured?
The modern coaching process is “non-linear.” We won’t know what’s beyond the hill in front of us until we walk up it to see what’s on the other side.
If there were an exact recipe to follow, I would have just written a book and closed up shop.
How much does it cost?
To my knowledge, I am the only coach who offers a client-focused pricing structure. Instead of a per-session fee (where it is unclear how much you will end up paying), I charge a single fee, and my clients have unlimited weekly sessions until they reach their goal.
Due to this single-fee structure, it is directly in my interest to get you on your path ASAP. Ethical Life Coaching supplies clients with the tools for independence, not using the relationship as a long-term crutch.
What if I'm international? Can I still work with you?
I’ve worked with clients all over the world for the last 20 years.
My booking system makes it easy to find a time that works, and we can use an alternative communication platform/software if cell phone access is difficult or costly.
How do I pay?
When you click “Activate” on our simple one-page agreement, you will automatically be sent a PayPal invoice and have immediate access to schedule upcoming sessions.
Alternatively, you can mail a check – my retired CPA on staff (aka “Dad”) absolutely loves depositing business funds into my local Houston account.
What if it doesn't work?
If I did my part and you did your part, and somehow things don’t work, there is a 100% money-back guarantee written in bold in our agreement.
How do I prepare for my sessions?
Fill out the pre-session questonnaire.
Make sure you’re in a private place with no distractions. Let family or co-workers know that you will be unavailable and please set your phone to “Do Not Disturb” mode.
Can I skip a week?
In coaching, the client sets the agenda. While I recommend sticking to a weekly schedule, you decide when is best for the next session.
Can I reschedule a session?
Of course! My online booking system is simple and easy to use – reschedule at your convenience.
What can I expect during a trial session?
1) You will learn how I work and what I do as a coach for multipotentialites.
2) We’ll spend the bulk of our time focused on you, where you’re stuck and what a vision of your life looks like in the future.
3) We’ll decide whether we’re a good fit for working together.
Does Life Coaching by phone really work?
Aside from the benefits of avoiding traffic, working by phone is much more effective than video and for some clients even better than face-to-face.
When talking about sensitive issues where you may feel vulnerable, not being seen helps us to get to the heart of the issue faster and with less discomfort.
