- News Commentary
Paul's leadership talk and webinar titled "A Life in Black and White" is inspired by his unique experiences growing up as half black, half white man, only a few blocks from where George Floyd was murdered. Paul has spent his life supporting those on the margins in his work and in his personal life including HomeBoy and several social justice organizations. Paul shares his journey in overcoming extreme adversity, to leading a successful sales firm and his efforts to foster understanding and positive change around race in business. We have an open discussion around the manifestation of systemic racism in today's society, the importance of uncomfortable conversations about race, what we can all do to educate ourselves on social justice, and how to lead a life of empathy and compassion.
