Paul Krismer

Paul’s presentation was a perfect wrap to this year’s conference, as creating a culture that cultivates positivity speaks to the number one challenge our membership faces, and that is recruitment and retention. Becoming an employer of choice within the community is imperative in today’s hiring environment, where word of mouth plays a significant role in attracting new employees, and a positive work environment is essential to retention. Paul’s breakdown of the science of happiness brought credibility and clarity to an otherwise ‘fuzzy’ topic – it’s a science that simply cannot be ignored.

The insights into workplace culture were spot on! Paul engaged our team in the training, and they found it incredibly relevant to the challenges of the current labor climate.

Paul was just what we needed for a Keynote speaker at our annual Conference & Trade Show. His message was simple yet potentially life-changing for those who are willing to recognize and embrace the positive rather than the negative things in our everyday lives. An important lesson for your professional productivity but more importantly for a happy life in general!

"Over the past couple of years, we have engaged several guest speakers to present to our management team, and Paul was by far the best! Paul was very knowledgeable of our business and the subject matter, making him relatable with our group. His passion and honest feedback to questions from our team made the presentation a memorable experience for all in attendance and we look forward to working with Paul again in the future.”

Paul's presentation during our National Planning Session was excellent! We got phenomenal feedback from everybody we polled. His approach was very interactive. He got people up who typically wouldn't participate. It was a powerful, clear, and very positive message.

Paul was very engaging. We got a lot of excellent feedback from our customers, saying that they found his presentation useful both for their personal lives and their business operations. I have been doing this work for over thirteen years and I have never seen our attendees respond and engage more than we saw with Paul. People were eagerly shouting across the room wanting to respond and participate! We will certainly work with Paul again.

Paul and David were both a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. They were both very responsive and thorough. The survey results from Paul's keynote session at the 2021 virtual Western Regional Dental Experience were fantastic. Over 99% of the more than 700 people that attended his session rated it as "excellent" and the most frequent comment was that attendees would have liked the session to be longer. AzDA will look forward to having Paul speak at an event again in the future.

I brought Paul in to speak to participants in our Leadership Development Program at Johnson & Johnson. Over 300 people from across the globe tuned in to this virtual event. And in spite of it being virtual, Paul was super engaging and high energy. He took the time to get to know our organizational needs and customized the content just for us. He left specific action items for both personal and professional success. He was fabulous and has already been requested to return for another speaking engagement!

Growth Dimensions was fortunate to have Paul Krismer as the Keynote Speaker of our 2020 Annual Event. Typically, this is an event that is held in person in the Spring. But, with the onset of COVID-19 we were put into a situation where is was not permissible to hold a large, in-person event like we had in the past. Paul and his team were quick to adapt to our decision to take our event virtual in September 2020. His live presentation during the event was engaging and personal, as he continually engaged the audience to share ideas and answers using the Zoom text box. He also remained on the virtual event platform for an additional time period to speak to attendees and answers questions. More than 1/2 of our attendees stayed after the conclusion of the main event to listen to more positive words of wisdom from Paul. His message of positivity and how to incorporate that into the workplace was a timely and relevant message, given the stressors created by the pandemic and other outside influences. Some of the comments we received from our virtual event attendees are: "[Paul's] message was positive and inspiring." "On a scale from 1-10, Paul scores a 10." We can't thank Paul enough for his contribution to making our virtual event a success.

Our group enjoyed his presentation beyond belief, the content was so valuable and impactful. Every one walked away with a feeling of well being, and found the message to have a tremendous amount of application for our work environment. I truly almost forgot he was not in the room, since he controlled the group and engaged them so well. I would highly recommend considering Paul for your next conference or as your next keynote. His stand out presentation will leave you with an entire new outlook on how we conduct ourselves in today's challenging and changing lives. His message is truly one for the ages, and his ability to resonate with his audience was beyond expectation.

As a regular event planner, I am always looking for fresh, exciting speakers. Paul was everything I could hope for: professional, polished, funny, and very informative. My audience loved him. And we were all happier for the experience!

The scientific basic was really important . . . and delivered in such a fun way! Great feedback from the audience! Great participation! Everything was just what I asked for.

Quite simply.. mind-blowingly good. I had the pleasure of listening to Paul at the recent IDI Design Symposium in Vancouver. His presentation was captivating, convincing, hilarious, incredibly well delivered - the room was entirely engrossed, entertained and engaged... and probably a lot more adjectives that don't begin with 'e'... I have attended many (too many..) a conference where we are slugging back the coffee to stay engaged - not least on the last day before lunch.. Paul was seriously one of the most interesting and high calibre presenters I have ever been fortunate enough to see!

We asked participants, "What did you enjoy most about the program?". The answer was "Paul Krismer!". He was the highlight of the program. Everyone enjoyed Paul's energy. Lawyers loved the science!

Paul led a two hour workshop at our conference.  We got overwhelming positive feedback from the conference attendees. Paul brought an inspiring message . . . . If you are looking for an engaging speaker who can shift perspectives, I recommend Paul.

Frankly, Paul undersold himself. He was very engaging. He was so good we brought him back to speak to the whole plant. . . . We got great reviews from our employees. They all got something out of it!

Paul worked closely with our team and tailored the content to fit our unique needs. He easily engaged the audience with his energy and enthusiasm and I was amazed at how he made it all make sense with some practical skills to put into practice right away. He showed us all that happiness really is a positive choice that we can make every day.

Working with Paul Krismer was an absolute delight — from the very beginning, signing the contract, through preparation for the event, the actual presentation, and the follow up afterwards. At the conference he was very energetic. He brought a good message to delegates. He gave everyone a take-away that they could action immediately. He was the ideal keynote speaker!

Paul had an easy engaging style and used a variety of formats to present an interesting and informative workshop. It certainly inspired and encouraged us to think about the ways we can positively influence our workplace. I have clearly observed the ongoing positive impact of that on our staff. From an organizational point of view, it was time very well spent!

We had a lot of laughs. Paul's energy is just electric. The way he presents allows information to really seep in and become memorable. We will be doing more work with him and highly recommend him to others!

Paul presented a  high energy and positive session on "Happiness and Well-being".  He entered a room of somewhat skeptical group of professionals and was able to keep them engaged and participative throughout the session.  I have seen an increase in the "gratitude practice" , which is important in our stressful work environment. Staff are also implementing more work-home life balance.  He is able to combine theoretical knowledge, storytelling and audience participation in his presentation. I highly recommend him.

Paul spoke to something essential all business owners crave: achieving meaningfulness and reward in how we approach our work and, by extension, our life. I appreciated his science based approach to demonstrate how greater satisfaction can be achieved. He was sincere and approachable.

We needed someone to come in a give the team a lift - to remind us of what we can accomplish together, and that our workplace is a good place to be! The thing that really strikes me about Paul is that he is real. He speaks from the heart, and he is truly passionate about what he talks about which easily engages his audience. I am telling anyone who will listen that Paul is fantastic!.

I feel very fortunate to have listened to Paul's talk about happiness. At first I was skeptical about this topic, but right after he started the presentation, I found myself in a very different mood. I highly recommend him for any group of people who need some inspiration. He is truly the Happiness Expert. I am already using what I learned and life is better for it!

Paul has been fantastic . . . in two capacities: he has provided coaching to our senior level staff, and has taught the principles of positive psychology to our entire leadership team. We will continue working with Paul.

Paul Krismer is a very engaging public speaker on the science of happiness. Paul speaks from the heart in a warm and humorous manner. He will leave you with practical ideas about how you are going to approach life and work differently.

What Paul said was relevant to any industry. . . He spoke at our gala event. He made a lot of sense to everyone, including the many small business owners who were in the crowd. The presentation was fantastic. There was rapt attention!

The feedback has been great! Everyone who attended said they really valued what they learned. Paul, you are so energetic and knowledgeable. It was great to have someone so enthusiastic and passionate talk about happiness and mindfulness. Thanks for being open, honest and such a great presenter! We hope to have you present at Clearly again soon!

If you are looking for a highly engaging, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable speaker/facilitator I strongly recommend Paul. He delivered a keynote on positive psychology along with some breakout sessions on happiness, mindfulness, and leadership for more than 400 university employees - absolutely inspiring! The feedback has been excellent!

Paul's energetic and dynamic talk to our Annual Meeting of the International Association of Defense Counsel was a hit with our lawyer members and their families. Paul was able to adapt his presentation to our needs, and he was a pleasure to work with.

I was looking to build resiliency in my team during a time of big change. We wanted to hear how we have some control over how we show up every day at work; that there is a lot more benefit to choosing to be optimistic. Paul gave us what we wanted. My staff appreciated the humour and his great energy. Paul is very professional. We couldn't have asked for more.

Paul was such a pleasure to work with and the consummate pro. His live sessions at our virtual event were insightful, empowering and imbued with both passion and practical takeaways. We highly recommend him and look forward to working together again soon!

My group found him very engaging, very interactive and they had lots of take-aways from the presentation. I highly recommend him.

I try to bring a special speaker in for for a staff event at least once a year. Overall, Paul was excellent. He was the best speaker we have had so far!

Paul delivered an inspirational keynote and reminded all of us to make gratitude and happiness a priority! He hit the mark, with his focus on the science of happiness coupled with practical applications. Paul's masterful use of Zoom led to a highly engaging and fun virtual session with rave reviews.

I have invited Paul to speak at Brentwood College three times and I will keep inviting him back. His presentations are inspiring and practical. I always get fabulous feedback from the audience. Paul is the real deal—professional, intelligent, and engaging.

This was one of the best presentations I have ever been to.  So powerful and effective. It can literally change your perspective on happiness for the rest of your life!

As a public speaker Paul was inspiring. Just right . . . not pushy or contrived, rather he was 100% committed to his mission. It was an offering, take it or leave it. I loved it. Paul is a friendly, confident speaker with no overinflated personality. Great delivery. Great message.

Paul provided a window into a necessary understanding of human behavior that will benefit all who attend his seminars. His easy-going style of delivery allows everyone to connect not only with the material, but also with him. Paul teaches us that happiness is not a fleeting moment where we briefly identify with an emotion we crave. We are all similar in desiring to replicate repeatedly this very human phenomenon. Paul provides us with the tools to harness this essential human experience, and make it benefit our daily existence.

Paul Krismer presented an entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking presentation on happiness and positive psychology for the staff at Victoria Hospice in January 2016. Feedback from the talk was very positive and we look forward to bringing him back at some point in the future for other presentations. I would highly recommend Paul as a speaker and "happiness expert".

“Our event was relatively small, and Paul took the time to learn people’s names, ask the questions about our industry and was able to deliver an engaging, powerful presentation. We had great feedback from our industry, and everyone was able to take something away from Paul’s session.”

Paul brings an incredible energy and a fresh perspective to any audience. If you are looking to engage, inspire, and elevate your event, I would strongly recommend him.

Not only did Paul knock it out of the park with his high-energy keynote, he was also a fantastic emcee and panel moderator for our event. He was well prepared and kept the event running smoothly from start to finish. His experience, guidance, and insights as a safety expert were invaluable, and his thought-provoking message hit home and resonated with our audience of safety professionals. We felt confident and secure working with Paul and his team from the very start and look forward to having Paul back for an event in the future.

Paul is such a delightful and dynamic speaker. During his 90-minute presentation, he made our audience laugh, smile, and focus on the positive in both their professional and personal lives, rather than circumstances that may not be going well with them. His topic was on point, and we were so impressed with the way he engaged our audience and the techniques he used to connect with them. Paul’s positive energy is an attraction for people, and many of our members said he was the best part of our conference.

“We received positive feedback on our meeting, and to Paul’s presentation “Resiliency in the Midst of Uncertainty: Deploying Proven, Powerful Tools to Achieve Success.” The session was insightful and really made us think about how positivity affects our own health and the health of others around us. The knowledge Paul shared was extremely helpful to members. It was a great way to finish our meeting. Hopefully we can work with Paul again in the future!”

The last few years have been extremely challenging for our members, so we wanted a fun and engaging keynote speaker who could re-invigorate them with meaningful and inspiring content. Paul set the tone for a great annual conference and motivated our attendees to go back to their workplace and be the best version of themselves. Also, Paul was so thoughtful leading up to the event and worked hard to customize his presentation for our audience.

We hired Paul as a Keynote Speaker, to lead a Panel Discussion and to Emcee our 85th Annual AGM Conference & Gala. He was phenomenal! He was high energy and incredibly engaging, very willing to help out, and beyond that, he was just a down-right kind person. He mingled with the crowd afterward and talked to our guests as well (something many Keynote Speakers do not do). Paul also added value with suggestions and ideas that helped elevate the quality of our event. The Trucking Industry has had to battle the stigma surrounding mental wellness and has one of the highest claim rates for Mental Health Injuries. We received feedback from our attendees, many of whom were impressed by Paul's address on Positive Psychology and how it applies to the industry we are in. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic and engaging speaker on Mental Health and Happiness.

Paul's Opening Keynote Presentation for our Partners In Prevention 2021 Health & Safety Fall Virtual Conference was a great way to kick-off the event. He was inspiring, engaging, relevant, and professional- both in front of the audience and behind the scenes. Also, the way he used and managed the "chat" conversation was a wonderful experience for our virtual audience. A pleasure to work with and feedback was very positive. Two thumbs up!

"In my opinion, Paul was a great way to kick off our conference. He set the tone for what we wanted our attendees to be able to accomplish during the week. He was engaging, active and did a really good job connecting with our audience. We were very pleased with the message he was able to share."

Paul was a delight to work with. He showed up early so we could check all of the technical aspects of his program. He was super energetic and engaged with the audience. He was exactly what we needed for the closing of our annual meeting.

We really appreciated Paul's ability to tailor his presentation to our audience and timeframe. He was excellent at virtually engaging our members and delivering meaningful, relevant information.

Members of the Credit Union Managers Association of Manitoba enjoyed Paul's presentation. It really resonated with many of our members, and we have feedback that they would be able to put a lot of his advice and tips into practice in both their work and home settings. He also received the highest audience rating of the speakers we had this year.

Our attendees enjoyed the virtual event and having a feel-good topic focused on their mental outlook and positivity. The talk was well presented, and Paul is such a great speaker who is easy to work with!

I saw Paul speak as a keynote at a large conference in Denver and he knocked it out of the park with his high-energy, engaging style and on-point presentation. Paul also presented to our staff, a small group of about 20, and conducted an in-house workshop for our leaders where he was quite effective at right-sizing his talk to accommodate a more intimate setting. Our staff enjoyed Paul's obvious passion for and knowledge of the topic as well as his ability to weave examples, questions, and discussions into the presentation, making it more interactive and inspirational. I highly recommend Paul as a speaker and we would work with him again!

Working with Paul and his team was wonderful. Not only was he an engaging, thought-provoking speaker, but he was easy to work with and highly professional. Our 600+constituents were excited and energized by his discussion of resiliency in an uncertain time. We would highly recommend him for future keynote opportunities.

Paul Krismer was the best dose of energy and uplifting motivation for our healthcare audience in 2022. His presentation on The Serious Business of Positive Emotions was extremely engaging and our audience complimented his "contagious enthusiasm" and "obvious passion" and said he was a "most Excellent choice of speaker." Several attendees asked us to invite Paul back for future sessions.
