“We truly enjoyed Paul’s engaging approach to his presentation and felt that the personal touches really drove home the importance and value of “personal branding”. Now that Paul has pointed us in the right direction, we are excited to see how our group can better leverage our strengths to create a more fulfilling and high performing work environment.
Paul was able to connect with people of all levels and leave them feeling excited and motivated about their unique abilities! He was an excellent choice to kick off our event and we would be glad to have him back!”

“Your presentation gave a unique insight into the intricacies of branding, diving beyond esthetics into core value of our respective differences and unique business propositions. We had chance to explore opportunities in current and popular mediums of communication (i.e. facebook, twitter, linked in, blogging). Leveraging this info, we discussed some strategies on how we can improve our brand by maximizing web presence while protecting our professional image.
A clever yet entertaining method of delivery kept the agents engaged throughout the presentation. Encouraging audience participation allowed for a great opportunity to bring to light the realities of our paradigms and allow for networking among the participants. This was a great presentation of a topic which was not only salient but timely.”
Deren Hesip, Regional Sales Manager, TD Canada Trust
Paul Copcutt's engaging presentation on Personal Branding provided new insight on how to successfully market oneself in a way that aligns to one's core values and passions. The workbook's exercises kept our audience members connected through active discussions and sharing of experiences. Many of our audience members found the personal brand statement exercise and the 360 degree feedback to be invaluable tools that are applicable to both personal and professional areas of life.”
Charlene Leung, Communications Manager Human Resources, Information Technology and Solutions, Scotiabank
“Working with Paul, at our recent Women’s Leadership Forum, was a pleasure that was shared by over 150 women in the audience. His insights, tips and techniques recommended to the audience were greatly appreciated, with many attendees commenting positively about his session. I have seen Paul speak before and was very impressed with his knowledge and approach. I personally used his 360 process in identifying my own strengths which was useful in my own career development. I would highly recommend working with Paul and utilizing his services. He is a professional; has integrity; and is an enjoyable speaker.”

"Thank you again for your tremendous presentation last week. It was our most well-attended event of 2006-2007. And given it was the eve of a long weekend, you have every right to be proud. The feedback we received was excellent."

"Paul gives great insight into the current experiences of the gen x demographic and how they are experiencing a pressure to differentiate themselves in a way quite different from previous generations. A neat glimpse into the means they are using to do so."
Trish Manning, Royal Le Page
"On behalf of the annual conference committee I would like to thank you for your two presentations to us. The feedback was all positive, especially the personal branding session. A number of people thought this was our best 'Ignite' ever, so that's saying something. You were a huge part of that."
Nell Smith, Career Development Association of Alberta.
"Paul, I just want to say thanks again for your great session last week. I am still getting emails on how much people benefited from your wisdom on personal branding"
Fariba Anderson, CIO Ontario Lottery Corporation, Senior Women in Technology
"I’ve never sat through a session that was SO compelling, that went to the heart/core of areas I could be improving. In fact, I equated it with sitting with a brilliant psychologist for 2 hours that opened all my wounds, exposing the amount of work I needed to do to actually ‘cut it’ in today’s marketplace. I’m only 42. I can just imagine the affect it had on the 52 or 62 year olds in the room who are far more technically challenged than I am. The presentation was beautifully delivered, riveting and captivating in fact. One of the best I’ve ever seen, so much so, it really took me back, and made a huge impact on what needs to be happening on and off the internet to differentiate myself."
Lynn Warner, National Key Account Manager
"Thank you very much for sharing your presentation slides and resources. It was a pleasure attending your session. I felt is was the most valuable session I attended at the CACEE conference this year."
Elizabeth Thompson, MIRHR, Human Resources Generalist, Bentall Capital LP
"All of your advice, strategies, resources and more are enlightening for a 54 year old career changer. I have been able to apply your personal branding strategies in recent interviews that resulted in terrific responses. I'm sold. Thanks again + keep up the fantastic work!"
