As Seen On
Hi, I’m Paul.
A native of Houston Texas, I’m a catalyst for Gen X and Millennial professionals who are ready to open themselves up to live a better life.
Throughout my two decades of life coaching, I’ve helped many hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives make BIG changes in their lives and reconnect with what really matters, and clarify their life purpose.
Personal Life Coaching may or may not be right for you, which is why I offer a one-on-one free consultation to casually answer any questions you may have about life coaching and to see whether we’re a fit for working together.
Grab a coffee, pick up the phone and let’s have a chat.
LIFE COACHING REVIEWS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A BREATH OF FRESH AIR”
Paul is the best of the best! While partnering with him under his guidance, myself and my team have experienced some amazing hyper-growth in our overall bottom line revenue. 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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“BROKE THROUGH BARRIERS”
Paul helped me work through the fundamental thoughts, emotions, and mindsets that were blocking me (most of them revolving around perfectionism and the fears that fueled it). He also provided very practical, actionable advice for more concrete barriers like dealing with distractions while working from home.
I consider myself a pretty self-aware person who reads a lot of productivity and self-help books, but Paul recommended resources and practices that I’d never heard of or had dismissed. Each one opened up a new level of awareness and broke through barriers that I didn’t even realize were barriers.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“POWERFUL AND INSIGHTFUL”
Paul is a powerful and insightful coach. 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.

Optimize Health & Longevity with Evidence-Based Coaching
YOU GET EVIDENCE-BASED LIFE COACHING. FINALLY!
I work with techniques, methodologies and perspectives that are backed up by scientific research published in leading journals. Our work together will NOT include essential oils or healing crystals or any other kind of New-Agey nonsense (I promise!).
Whereas a psychologist/therapist works with a person’s past to come to healthy and functional present, modern evidenced-based life coaching is for those who are already healthy and functional, but they’re asking themselves “What now?” They are looking to the future and not seeing clearly.
You’re in one of two situations:
- You know where you want to be, but you’re not sure how to get there, or
- You’re not sure what’s next, but where you are right now is definitely not it.
You will discover the tools and techniques to help you implement lasting change.
WHO WORKS WITH A LIFE COACH?
If you’re asking yourself whether someone like you hires a life coach and has results, you should know that over my coaching career that spans nearly two decades, I’ve worked with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, countries (34 and counting!) and professions, such as:
- Business Professionals
- CEOs & Entrepreneurs
- Polymaths / Renaissance Men and Women / Multipotentialites
- Doctors, Dentists and PhDs in Research
- Small Businesses Owners
- Executive Leadership
They all had one thing in common: they have stopped blaming their environment, context or other people, and they wanted to develop better emotional intelligence and be in the driver’s seat of their own lives. But making a big change can be overwhelming. Where do you even begin?
The first step begins with a phone call where we’ll get to know one another and have a casual conversation to address any additional questions you may have about working with a life coach.
I very much look forward to our conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Life Coaching
What is Life Coaching?
The life coaching conversation is designed as a method for creative problem solving, 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.
By working with a professional life coach, the goal is for you, the client, to walk away from a life coaching engagement lighter, more focused, confident and with a new set of tools for moving forward.
Life coaching is what we call it inside the industry, whether others call it confidence coaching, mindset coaching or leadership coaching – the skill set is the same.
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 with a heightened sense of self esteem, 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, and have been consistently recognized as one of the best life coaches online.
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 or Stripe invoice and have immediate access to schedule upcoming life coaching sessions.
Alternatively, you can mail a check – my retired CPA on staff (aka “Dad”) absolutely loves depositing business funds into my local Houston, TX 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 questionnaire.
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.
As any personal development coach will tell you, a quiet place is key for success.
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 and life coaching website is simple and easy to use – reschedule at your convenience.
What can I expect during a trial session?
Does Life Coaching by phone really work?
Aside from the benefits of avoiding traffic (being from Houston Texas, I know this can be challenging), working with a life coach 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.
LIFE COACHING REVIEWS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“ENORMOUS PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS”
I started working with Paul over 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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A BETTER VERSION OF 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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“MORE BALANCE IN MY LIFE”
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.
