Paul has been teaching at Xavier University since 1983, but his influence on the ethics and compliance world stretches far beyond the classroom.
What started as research into white-collar crime evolved into a career at the forefront of organizational integrity. He co-authored his first book on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations in 1993, completed a Supreme Court Fellowship at the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and in 2007 received the International Ethics Award from the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics.
Since then, he has spoken at national and international conferences and brought that same depth of knowledge to Fortune 500 companies, universities, and professional organizations across the country.
Four decades in, he is still doing what he has always done: making ethics in the workplace impossible to ignore. He brings rigor and engagement to his work that is above and beyond others’ methods.
What makes working with Paul different?
There is no shortage of ethics speakers. What is rare is one who can hold a room of skeptical professionals, make them genuinely think, and leave them with something they will still be using six months later.
-
Paul's sessions are rigorous and substantive, he just refuses to make them boring. His audiences leave with frameworks they can actually use, not just a certificate to file away.
-
Paul has worked directly inside organizations across industries for decades. He is not teaching ethics from a distance or summarizing case studies he read in a journal. He has been in the rooms where these decisions get made.
-
Attendees consistently leave surprised, not just that they fulfilled a requirement, but that they actually enjoyed doing it. Paul works hard to earn that reaction every time.
-
A room full of CPAs has different concerns than a law firm, an engineering team, or a Fortune 500 leadership group. Paul speaks to all of them, and adjusts accordingly every time.
-
From national compliance conferences to university classrooms to corporate all-hands meetings, Paul has delivered ethics training across virtually every professional setting. That breadth of experience shows up in every session he runs.
