About Paul Henderson
I have built great teams that achieved in all kinds of situations, Engineering Start-Ups, Foodservice, and Confections. These teams thrived and delivered great results during periods of change.People development is a passion and people from my teams have gone on to be CEO’s, Divisional VP’s, Heads of Business Units, and closer to home many earned more money to build better lives with their families. I turn businesses around or build them up. I love creative solutions and great teams. Business is a sport? Nope! As a Business Athlete take your work to the next level. Focus, discipline, resilience are what we love about our favorite teams. I had the opportunity to win 4 national cycling championships, being an elite athlete prepared me for business. Day to day, do your training, on your mind, your body, and your business. Not just for you, but your team, and the people around you.
