With market volatility, economic shifts, and changing regulations, many real estate professionals find themselves playing defense.

The result? A lack of confidence that stifles growth and fosters reactive decisions across the industry. But what if you had a playbook to play offense—strategically pursuing new opportunities and achieving standout success—while others are merely trying to survive?

This is what Paul delivers in his flagship keynote, inspired by 15 years of leadership experience in high-stakes environments and his bestselling book, The Power of Playing Offense: A Leader’s Playbook for Personal and Team Transformation.

Every real estate professional will walk away with Paul’s 5-pillar Playing Offense framework and WIN MONDAY playbook, packed with actionable strategies and universal insights tailored to the demands of the real estate industry.

What separates top real estate professionals from the rest? It’s not just market trends, lead generation, or even the number of deals closed—it’s the ability to build deep, lasting relationships with clients.
