Why Paula Houlihan?

Behind every successful organization is a leader who understands the delicate balance between achievement and fulfillment. My journey from corporate senior claims specialist to highly ranked speaker and coach is a testament to the transformative power of intentional choice and resilience.

Like many high-performers, I once found myself caught in the relentless cycle of success at the expense of my well-being. It took a life-changing diagnosis to awaken me to the realization that true success isn’t sustainable without a foundation of health and happiness.

Armed with this insight, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, becoming a Certified Intrinsic Life Coach and a life-time member of Psi Chi – the international honor society of psychology. Today, I work with organizations seeking to cultivate cultures of balance, resilience, and fulfillment.

My approach is grounded in both research and real-world experience. As a former corporate senior claims specialist, I negotiated multimillion-dollar litigation cases with diligence and expertise. Now, I leverage this tactical experience alongside my understanding of human behavior to guide organizations toward lasting transformation.

But perhaps what sets me apart most is my unwavering commitment to authenticity and connection. I create experiences that resonate deeply with audiences, sparking meaningful change from within.

Whether you’re facing the challenges of burnout, navigating organizational change, or seeking to elevate your team’s performance, I’m here to help you and your team unlock the power of choice and cultivate a culture where success and happiness go hand in hand.  Let’s talk.
