The Art Of Hello®
As professionals we all deserve to be known for our achievements, and to be understood for our value proposition.
Often called personal branding, the core is introducing yourself to people in a way that the listener understands who you are as a professional and can remember you. Once scripted and perfected, your branded introduction is a durable asset. It is useful for senior leaders, for business owners, for those seeking positions on boards, for young professionals and for job seekers.
A well-conceived professional brand introduction is the old-fashioned elevator pitch polished up to a professional level with a memorable impact. It differentiates you from others. So simple to recognize when done well, and so hard to make one your own.

Testimonials
I’m really enjoying your book. It’s something I wish I would have been cognizant of 30 years ago. I’m going to buy your book for my kids and my niece and nephew. They’re at the perfect age (young in their career) to get the most out of it.

Paula recently gave her presentation, The Art of Hello, at a professional women's group that I chair. Her presentation style is engaging and interactive, and her advice on introducing yourself in a way that is memorable is unique. It's rare to have a speaker who provides such specific and actionable advice, along with the tools to follow through. This was perfect for our group, and we hope to have Paula back again.

Paula, I wanted to tell you this experience I had, using my new The Art of Hello introduction. I was at a luncheon of women where everyone went around the table and introduced themselves. When it was my turn, I just said, “I work with professionals and their families to help them become work optional.” I actually got applause! Everyone then exclaimed that this was a great introduction. I owe this to you, and thanks!
