Testimonials
“I want to give an enthusiastic shout-out to Paragon! Paragon came highly recommended by a large national conference organization, and they were absolutely right about the quality of the program. I invited Paragon to speak at our global virtual conference, initially focused on specific topics and outcomes. Through thoughtful conversations, Paragon guided me toward a more engaging, interactive, and impactful session than I ever imagined.
Even in a virtual setting, our members felt deeply connected, energized, and motivated. Paragon’s warmth and vulnerability inspired the same from our team, creating stronger bonds and bringing us closer than ever before. A huge thank you to Paragon for helping my team to build bridges that truly span the globe!”
Women@Core Lead, Google
I was deeply impacted by the program Paragon hosted for our senior leadership team. Their holistic content is exactly what is needed, yet almost always missing, in organizational development courses. Specifically, I was so impressed that they managed to include critical concepts from very complex topics including: neuroscience, the mind-body connection, and interpersonal relationships in a way that was digestible and immediately applicable. I loved the focus on internal self-awareness and regulation as the key to strong outcomes at work and in life in general. It enabled us to be open, to have calm productive discussions about difficult situations, and to be more creative in planning. This is transformative work and it’s truly unique! I can see tangible impacts in myself and in our leadership and look forward to additional workshops and training with them.
Chief, Environmental Compliance Division, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
I have personally benefitted from their coherence training and incorporate the tools and techniques into my daily routine, especially before important meetings, and during challenging situations.
I first heard of Paragon’s work when I attended a summit for CHRO leaders of major colleges and universities. Their message on intelligent energy management resonated strongly and inspired me to engage Paragon for a team project with my HR managers. I was feeling an urgency to support my team that was showing signs of burn out, overwhelm, and were drained due to the effects that the pandemic has had on our campus.
VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICER AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY
Our organization was fortunate to have Paragon host an engaging workshop during our offsite leadership retreat. They were very effective in sharing concepts and guidance to an audience of government employees that tends to be relatively unreceptive and skeptical. During an exercise focused on team dynamics, Brett & Jeff’s ability to quickly read and intervene a potentially revealing and negative response was not lost on me. Their education, insight, experience, and ability to establish a collaborative team environment is tremendously effective. Not to mention sorely needed in our organization.
Director – Facilities Engineering Office, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, US Department of Commerce
The work that we did with the Paragon team had a significant positive impact on our leadership group as well as overall team dynamics. Our leadership team was specifically focused on improving the overall stress levels and creating greater connection among out team members, especially as we all work remotely. With just a few group sessions, we have had a momentous shift in stress levels and have fully implemented the Paragon teachings, including coherence and choice point techniques, into our day to day work. Working with Paragon is truly a remarkable experience and one that we are looking forward to continuing. We are grateful to be on the journey together.
COO, Conferences for Women
I feel incredibly fortunate to work with Paragon. We are a stronger and more cohesive team having benefited from the opportunities to learn from Paragon in our retreats and sessions together. The tools and techniques work and the individual coaching has been wonderful. The focus on well-being and performance really resonates with me. I appreciate the impact of their work and have seen positive changes in myself and across the team.
SENIOR HUMAN RESOURCE DIRECTOR AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY
I truly appreciate the impact that Paragon Performance Evolution has had on me personally, and my team. The self-regulation tools & techniques that I have learned from Paragon have been such a valuable addition to my daily routine that I engaged them to work with my current leadership team, and our broader HR community at UVA Health. From Paragon’s thoughtful and interactive team sessions to the private coaching, I highly recommend their work for any leader navigating challenging circumstances and creating culture transformation.
CHIEF UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH HUMAN RESOURCES
I am truly grateful for Paragon Performance Evolution. The self-regulation tools and techniques have been life-changing and are an essential part of my daily routine that have had profoundly positive impacts both personally and professionally. I now consistently show up in a more open, present, and thoughtful way. Through the networks of support – team sessions, private coaching, and joining in the larger Paragon Community Coherence Sessions, I am continually inspired by the powerful stories of transformation shared by so many others utilizing Paragon’s tools and techniques.
HUMAN RESOURCES, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
Our team works in a high-stress and trauma-filled environment, and they are responsible for supporting many others living in a high-stressed state.
It was crucial and one of my best decisions to bring Paragon in to work with the team – they have taught our leaders to have greater awareness of their emotions and to self-regulate throughout the day.
I have witnessed the overall stress at work reduced and real transformation happening in all aspects of our team’s lives. The Paragon Optimal Performance Program is a game changer for us and is truly helping us transform the culture of our organization to one of holistic well-being.
PRESIDENT & CEO, CHICAGO YOUTH CENTERS
Ever since I began my journey with Paragon Performance Evolution, my capacity to achieve has expanded in ways I never thought possible. The transformative techniques I’ve acquired during our sessions have fundamentally reshaped my approach to goal setting and managing life’s constant demands.
By integrating Paragon’s methods into my daily routine, I’ve experienced remarkable results, including doubling my productivity, receiving an invitation to the prestigious Fastrack Academy within the first year, and becoming one of the top producers in my region. Moreover, I’ve taken on new leadership roles and, most importantly, enhanced the way I serve my clients. For high performers seeking to elevate their performance and well-being, and for work groups aiming to reach new heights collectively, the Paragon trainings are an absolute must.
NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL
Their program isn’t like anything else I’ve participated in.
They take a truly unique and personalized approach, helping individuals to focus their time and energy where it matters most. The team at Paragon has provided me with life-long tools to manage stress and anxiety, which were subconsciously impacting how I approached so many aspects of my life. I can’t thank the team at Paragon enough for giving me the gift of increased focus, confidence and overall well-being.
DIRECTOR OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT AT FIDELITY INVESTMENTS
I wish this was something that we did as a benefit for all of our employees. These simple steps through their program have been instrumental in my attitude and outlook in various situations.
As we all know, many of us went from suitcase warriors to a whole new world during the pandemic and the Paragon program has helped in so many ways. In a world where gratitude is normally a passing thought or ‘I’ll get to that later or tell them when I see them next time,’ I wanted to take the time this morning to just say: Thank You to PwC for exhibiting care about employees through this program.
DIRECTOR PWC CONSULTING SOLUTIONS
Paragon Performance delivered beyond expectations, seamlessly blending their expertise with engaging facilitation.
Jeff and Brett’s session left our audience reinvigorated, armed with new techniques to enhance performance, particularly in high-pressure situations. The program’s impact was clear, prompting continued conversations with many of our members. We highly recommend Paragon Performance for organizations seeking transformative learning experiences.
PRESIDENT & CEO, THE WICT NETWORK
Paragon has been leading several high-performance, leadership and resiliency initiatives now for multiple years for Kearney and the overall partnership with them has been transformational for our company. Over the past two plus years, mental health has become a prominent issue and Paragon has supported our different teams internally with real-time tools and techniques that have allowed our people to effectively manage stress and increase their overall wellbeing. Their work has positively impacted members of our team at all levels from first-year associates to seasoned senior partners.
Paragon’s heart-centered approach with our team is a lifeline that our people greatly appreciate during these challenging times.
CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER, KEARNEY & COMPANY
After a few HeartMath sessions, I have already noticed that I am calmer and have increased focus. I use the tool throughout the day (and night if needed) and it’s quick and powerful. It’s especially helpful to diffuse stress at work and in my personal life. I can do it with my eyes open and no one even knows!
Thank you for this life-changing offering. This is the best thing I have done in a while to take care of myself.
HR COMPLIANCE MANAGER, KEARNEY & COMPANY
Paragon hit a homerun with my team.
We had our top 25 leaders in for year-end meetings and they were in a really depleted state due to our recent acquisition. Jeff and Brett worked absolute magic during a four-hour session. By the end of the day our team was fully energized and renewed from the impact of Paragon’s optimal performance program. The engagement was well-worth the investment and many members of the team continue to participate in Paragon-led sessions.
PRESIDENT, CELLA (A DIVISION OF RANDSTAD)
Brett and Jeff’s mission is to help business leaders get out of their heads and connect with their hearts.
You can just tell that they are so authentic and passionate about this mission as soon as you first meet them. In a world dominated by the analytical, and devoid of emotional connection, their work is so important and meaningful and has a real, positive impact on those who learn about it. I was lucky enough to have them join our inaugural Conscious Entrepreneur Summit in Denver, where they shared how to connect with your heart to build your energy and make better decisions. I’m so glad they joined us – the presentation was lively, engaging and fun, and the audience loved the message. I 100% recommend Paragon Performance to lead any type of conference, retreat or workshop.
CEO OF KAPTA AND HOST OF THE CONSCIOUS ENTREPRENEUR SUMMIT
Paragon led one of our Chapter’s most well-received virtual programs during the pandemic, and have twice served as expert coaches for a special YPO International youth entrepreneurship pitch competition that I champion for kids ages 9-17 from around the world. Brett & Jeff’s message for the kids during the coaching workshop was awesome and went far beyond preparing them to be in front of the judges.
They armed the kids with valuable tools & techniques that can easily be applied in all areas of their lives, using a fun and energetic facilitating style that was highly-rated by a normally tough audience to impress!
CHAPTER CHAIRMAN EMERITUS, YPO WASHINGTON DC-BALTIMORE
I engaged Paragon to lead my family through their Optimal Performance HeartMath Program and it had a significant impact for each member of our family. The response was very positive and the teachings and techniques they taught us have been particularly helpful for our kids (ages 16 to 23). My wife especially appreciated the opportunity to bring our family together virtually once a week in a safe space where there could be deep sharing at a vulnerable level.
We are planning to do ongoing monthly HeartMath sessions, and I have shared the program with my Forum group. I’m also considering the program for my company, starting with my executive team. This program is not overly complicated but can yield significant results!
BOARD MEMBER, YPO NORTHERN INDIANA INTEGRATED
Paragon’s Optimal Performance is the real deal!
The program was perfect timing as our members are experiencing stress and anxiety at a whole new level. I learned tools that I can use throughout my day, both on a personal and professional level. The HeartMath techniques are something I recommend all YPO members learning and implementing daily. I highly recommend this program for all chapters and forums.
PRESIDENT AMERICAN CONTROLS LLC / YPO CLEVELAND GOLD, 2021 CHAPTER FORUM OFFICER
I highly recommend the Optimal Performance Resiliency Program as a tool to enhance your mental and physical health.
My YPO Gold Chapter recently engaged Paragon Performance Evolution to produce a member and spouse event where expert resources talked about the health of the brain and heart and most importantly provided actionable items for greater mental clarity, improved health and how to get into a ‘flow state’. The event was very well received by our members which is leading individual members and/or their forums to seek ‘one-n-one’ coaching sessions to allow for the teachings to be anchored in a more meaningful way.
CEO ATLANTIC SERVICES GROUP / YPO GOLD U.S. CAPITAL CHAPTER 2021 CHAPTER FORUM OFFICER
The Paragon team is breaking down the barriers of egoic-driven decision-making that has been a societal norm for decades.
Conscious and heart-centered leadership will become a bigger focus in this new era we are living in. The Paragon team is paving the way for this amazing transition that is a once in a lifetime experience.
HEAD OF CONTEXT FAMILY NETWORK (CFN)
My work with the Paragon team including Jeff’s pre-flight training and the Integration work with Jared post-flight has truly allowed me to be my best self.
Not just when it comes to my trip to Space, but with my life and goals in general. The things we covered will continue to be important for the rest of my life.
FIRST MEXICAN-BORN AMERICAN WOMAN AND TO FLY TO SPACE
We searched for a training program that would not only show our team how much we appreciate their resiliency, but also to address the issues of stress and anxiety as we slowly get back into the office. We engaged Paragon to facilitate their Optimal Performance Resiliency Training program and teach us the HeartMath techniques so that we may gain awareness of subtle cues/stressors and the tools within ourselves to combat them.
Brett and Jeff led a masterful training for our team and the post-event feedback was fantastic. Thank you!
PARTNER/CFO, RTD FINANCIAL ADVISORS
I engaged in the Paragon Optimal Performance program at the beginning of the pandemic, and the program and teachings have been transformational.
The program and its tools have been most effective to truly build resiliency, create clarity of mind and get into a flow state.
It is a superpower that can be used in real time for any situation. I’m such a big believer that I’m now bringing the program to some of my clients.
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, HATCHBEAUTY BRANDS
Paragon’s Optimal Performance “Reconnecting through the Heart” program was one of the best Chapter events we have hosted in all my years as a YPO member.
The tools & techniques they taught us for managing stress and building resiliency are easy to use and applicable for all situations. Several members have inquired about follow up opportunities for themselves and their families, especially those with teenage and young adult children. And IN-Q is the man! His creative workshop as Part II of the program was unlike anything our members have ever experienced. His passionate live performance, vulnerable insights into his life story, and masterful facilitation skills established the perfect setting. It was a moving experience that led to many tears, hugs, and a deeper human connection for our Members.
2021-22 CHAPTER LEARNING CHAIR, YPO OREGON
A hearty “ thank you” for joining our All-Day Staff Meeting this past Monday. It was great to have the team together and in-person for the first time in ages. And, it was especially great to have the opportunity to learn how we all can enhance our daily work lives using HeartMath. Working solo at home brings its own stresses.
Having a tool to help us regulate our ups and downs is a gift.
CEO, BEYOND CELIAC
I was introduced to the Paragon Optimal Performance Program and immediately connected to the teachings… learning these skills has helped my anxiety and improved my mood.
My mindset shifted to be more positive and grateful during the course of the program. I am grateful for the opportunity and highly recommend!
DIRECTOR OF REVENUE AT DASTMALCHI | VANITY PLANET & KOVE AUDIO
I’m very appreciative of Paragon for the two workshops they just led for our team – The Role of Heart in Human Performance and Coherent Communication.
The experience was truly transformational, and just what we needed during these challenging times.
Our team has grown significantly over the past year, and because of the virtual environment it has been more challenging for our leadership to keep everyone feeling connected. The safe space Paragon created for us to be vulnerable and share openly with each other was invaluable and we left with a clear plan on how to create both individual and team coherence.
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, KISS THE GROUND
The past 6 weeks have been life altering. I’ve connected my physical being to my higher purpose.
It feels like the first time I’m not sure where I’m going to end up, but I’m on the right path. A lot more I could say about this. Like I said, life-changing.
