  • "Collision Conference provided a perfect stage for (Paula) to share her strength in a compelling way, and her words left a lasting impact on the audience. Not only is her story of resilience impressive, but the work she’s done to build that resilience in others is admirable. I would highly recommend Paula as a speaker and writer, a thought leader in promoting creativity and play as a way to nurture empathy, resilience and well-being."

    Teresa Brewer, VP Corporate Communications (former)

  • “Paula demonstrated an in-depth understanding of Positive Psychology and its application in designing effective well-being programs for employees. Her insights were not only valuable but also delivered with a remarkable clarity that resonated well with our audience. Beyond her expertise, Paula was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and dedication to delivering high-quality content were evident throughout our collaboration."
