In her 15 years in the insurance industry, Paula discovered your success can be your biggest liability! 


As a corporate senior claims specialist , Paula Houlihan negotiated multimillion-dollar litigation cases. She was successful.

Like many high performers, she worked hard to achieve and maintain her success. She had it all… except the time and energy to enjoy it. Like most, she accepted demanding schedules and stress as part of being successful.


But it wasn’t until receiving a life-changing medical diagnosis that she realized the stress of success was slowly killing her. Something had to change.

Recognizing the power that choice had in her life, Paula began a journey of discovering that she didn’t have to compromise her wellbeing to enjoy success.


And, now through transformational presentations, coaching, workshops and retreats, she helps high performers discover her Choice Management® Model which empowers them to take the stress out of success, and:

  • Reclaim their time
  • Restore their energy
  • Rejuvenate relationships, and
  • Enjoy their incredible lives every day


Paula holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. She is a Certified Intrinsic Life Coach and lifetime member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society of Psychology.


She lives in Stevens Point, Wisconsin with her husband Tamas. Her greatest loves are family and travel. And she keeps a bottle of champagne chilled in her refrigerator because life always offers something to celebrate!

Paula Houlihan is such a dynamic, engaging speaker that we felt very lucky to have her on stage for our Women in Business event in Stevens Point, WI. Her keynote presentation "How to Align with Yourself for Success!" was rated by our audience members as 'very good to excellent.' Everyone left inspired to find a new definition of success in their life and to take time to care for themselves. In her very lively, energizing presentation, Paula gave them clear tips - and most importantly, actionable suggestions.

We met at a workshop that Paula Houlihan held a few months ago about "Bringing Back the Balance" which was outstanding! One of the important takeaways we had was to stop, enjoy the moment and just be present. It may seems simple, but it's easy to forget how to be present and in the moment without distractions. With our children, our spouses or anything we're doing. It's a great reminder for us to not forget to "blow our bubbles" everyday by being present. She's super talented with an array of expertise and such a beautiful soul!

As the organization's officer who coordinates with potential speakers for meetings, Paula was extremely kind and professional to work with when scheduling a talk with her. Her story was very inspiring and I thought that she shared some wonderful insight to ladies such as us who are often drowning in work and school. I have never seen our crowd so engaged!
