Client Testimonials

"Paul was an absolute professional while serving as an interim Executive Director for WesleyLife. I would highly recommend him for other non-profit senior living positions. He has excellent communication both to his team and to customers as well as to senior leadership. He is very organized and was able to keep things moving forward during his time with us. While with us, he was able to create stronger sense of teamwork and communication within the team through his leadership practices focusing on customer experiences, team appreciation, and overall quality. In a short time he was able to build the relationships needed to keep the organization moving forward. I will not hesitate to utilize his skills again if there is a interim need or special project. 

--Janet Simpson, Vice-President of Network Operations-WesleyLife. 

"I worked directly with Paul while he was the Interim Executive Director at The Summit of Bettendorf.  Paul was attentive, organized and thoughtful in his approach to serving the community.  We had serious difficulty with retention and financial performance in the past.  Paul helped improve both of those issues and was well liked by residents and colleagues.  I would hire Paul again if the opportunity arises.  

-- Matt Garcia, Regional Director of Operations, WesleyLife 

"Paul was an excellent leader during a community transition, serving as Interim Executive Director. Paul was able to quickly develop relationships with team members and residents. He was able to earn their trust and it soon felt like he had always been a part of the team.

He was skilled at picking up important projects and initiatives, to keep them moving during transition. I appreciate the way Paul dove right in, and really got into the details. Paul is an experienced leader, that understands the continuum of care - and I appreciated his ability to keep the focus on things that truly matter. I would highly recommend Paul, and hope to work with him in the future.
