KEYNOTES that energize teams, fuel engagement, and transform workplace culture one Brain Pattern Interrupt at a time
Change the moment before the moment changes you
Paul J. Long Leadership & Culture Expert, Keynote Speaker, Author.
Many of us have experienced times when we’re speaking to a group in a business setting, and there are one or two people who are negative about the business or their co-workers. That’s hard to work with.
Paul has an incredible ability to address concerns and turn them around on the spot. In all of my years in the business, I’ve never met anyone who can do it like he can. He’s a motivator—and not the type of motivation that lasts a couple of days. His motivation is long term.
Leaders are overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed at work, consumed by it long after they leave.
Teams are carrying the weight of constant change, the pressure to perform, and the fear of what the next moment might bring.
Yet, despite this strain, organizations expect exceptional culture, even as their people struggle with patterns that make it impossible.
How can you change the culture if you can’t even change a moment?
From answering 80 customer service calls a day from frustrated people to leading teams of thousands to feeling the weight of responsibility pull me away from what matters most—
I understand this struggle.
It was the small, deliberate choices. The way I’d answer calls to put a smile on people’s faces. The brain pattern interrupts I’d use to get team members thinking about one good thing that had happened to them in the past two weeks. The voicemails I’d leave that asked for people’s first celebrity crushes, or the movie quotes I’d deliberately work into conversations. Small moments of connection that shifted people’s energy instantly.
These weren’t just techniques for having FUN. They were lifelines. Despite having everything society had convinced me would make me happy, I still felt overwhelmed and empty inside. It was Fundamism that gave me hope when I felt lost.
I’ve witnessed these principles transform everything from corporate call centers to bedside vigils with Noah, an incredible young boy whose courage during his battle with cancer taught me more about finding light in darkness than I could ever have learned otherwise.
I discovered that being deliberately present doesn’t ONLY create measurable business outcomes, although those are critical. It reminds us what truly matters in life.
TODAY, I help organizations transform their culture by teaching people how to implement these same principles at scale
As a workplace culture expert who’s worked with companies from Fortune 500s to fast-growing startups, I use the Brain Pattern Interrupt to help leaders and teams recognize the loops keeping their people stuck. The result is 3 simple, actionable practices that change the moment:
These three practices change the moment. And when the moment changes, so does the culture around it.
Leaders change moments instead of being changed by them. Teams break free from the patterns keeping them stuck. And organizations build a workplace culture that people actually want to be part of.
Let Paul show your organization how to change the moments that matter most, and build a workplace culture that people never want to leave.
