Paul Radde

When the NYPD Serpico commission needed stress management, the sought out Dr. Paul O. Radde. When the nation's blood supply was threatened, the Red Cross sought Dr. Paul to work with Quality Assurance. When the FDA needed to speed up their approval process, Paul worked with their managers as an OD Consultant.

Thrive, Arianna Huffington's book on the Third Metric, is a perfect introduction to the life work of Dr. Radde. For 42 years, Paul has researched what brings out the best in people in all walks of life. His findings address the need for self-acceptance, a grounded presence,  healthful thinking, and an attitude he registered as Innertude(R). The impact of a Thrival presentation is deep reflection, new and innovative perspective on one's life, and personally chosen work to bring out the best in oneself. Dr. Radde provides the tools.

Paul, with a Ph.D. in Counseling and Community Psychology, originally served as a trainer and consultant to 24 federal agencies. His book, Supervising: A Guide for All Levels, was chosen by 3M as a desk top guide corporate wide. Dr. Radde has trained over 5,000 supervisors and managers, 6,000+ in stress management and reversing professional burnout, 7,500+ in How to Influence Decision Makers [including the Presidential Management Fellows program and the Wall Street Journal Sales Dept.].

Paul has been named a "trend setter" in the hospitality industry for his work on meeting architecture designed to promote engagement and forge relationships. His book Seating Matters addresses how to improve the learning environment of meetings.

Dr. Paul's presentations are loaded with original content, fresh perspectives, innovative ideas - even paradigm shifts not yet discussed [see Side by Side Leadership, p.41]. His topics do not always fit into the Top 10, because he is so far "ahead of the curve" in his thinking. He boils down complicated concepts, puts it in terms your audience understands, interviews a cross section of his audience in order to know them, love them, and serve them - including the suggestion of new services and/or development of new products.
