Meet the speaker - Paul Glover

Paul is The No B.S. Executive Coach, a master storyteller, and a subject-matter expert who spent 25 years as a federal trial lawyer.

For 20 years he’s coached executives at organizations with up to $1B in revenue, helping leaders build positive, lasting workplace legacies. (He’s also the mind behind the talk “Everyone Needs a Fool in Their Life.”)
