#7: Finding the Silver Lining with Paul Rogers

Today on the show we’re talking with Paul Rogers, the director / transformation expert at Core Mentors Association. He’s also a life coach, a trauma TBI, PTSD mentor, a public speaking coach, Ikigai coach, You2 Quantum Leap trainer, and a best-selling author!

Stephynie and Paul talk about the massive accident that Paul had several years ago that nearly killed him and his family, and how he not only recovered from that accident but has been thriving ever since then. He started reevaluating every aspect of his life, now following his purpose and being more aware of how to follow that!

Towards the end of the conversation Paul and Stephynie discuss several ways that younger people can improve their skills surrounding the business environment, and the two key takeaways for an effective negotiation strategy!
