Paul V. Butler

Paul Butler is one of the world’s most accomplished and in-demand executive coaches. With a venerable “who’s who” of clients List, he understands how the world’s most effective managers lead.

He has helped advise and coach hundreds of leaders in more than 50 organizations since his firm was founded in 2006.

In addition to his blogs, he regularly participates in public discussions via conferences and published articles. He also serves as an adjunct professor at the Jack Welch School of Business and Technology at Sacred Heart University.
