“The biggest thing that attracted me to Paragon was arming our employees with tools so they can self-manage.

“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. “

“I was deeply impacted by the program Paragon hosted for our senior leadership team.

Specifically, I was so impressed that they managed to include critical concepts from very complex topics 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”

Our leadership team was specifically focused on improving the overall stress levels and creating greater connection among our 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.

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.”

"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. They 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.”

“Paragon’s programs stand apart in how they reconnect people in the workplace.

For organizations ready to move beyond outdated programs, this is IT! In a business environment increasingly dominated by analytics and lacking genuine connection, Paragon’s work makes a meaningful impact by addressing what many organizations overlook. Paragon offers something rare – a path to excellence that honors our shared humanity rather than requiring us to compartmentalize it. Their evidence-based approach transforms stress and disconnection into collaborative environments where people thrive as whole human beings, not just productive assets.”
