Paul Kingsman is a sought after expert on
how to make your split seconds count.
As a professional motivational speaker and executive coach, he teaches financial industry business people how to overcome distractions and maintain focus.
Paul helps clients conquer daily distractions which seem urgent, but are more often inconsequential,
so they can achieve the success they want in both their business and personal lives.

He
knows the importance of keeping focused in life’s split seconds first hand: Paul trained for 13 years, to swim a 2
minute backstroke race at the 1988 Olympics, and won a medal by only four one-hundredths of a second!
After retiring from competitive swimming, Paul applied the same success habits he had developed in sport to business,
going on to achieve big results with some of the world’s best known companies, both in his native country of New
Zealand and here in his adopted home of the U.S. He’s managed Speedo New Zealand and worked as a high net-worth
advisor for both Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo.
His financial industry experience has given Paul an understanding of the unique business challenges faced by financial
services professionals, and he focuses his expertise in this area. He works with his clients so they can focus on best
practices and achieve consistent, outstanding results. Whether through keynote speaking or one-on-one coaching, Paul
gives his clients practical tools to make the best split-second decisions for their long-term success.
Paul currently lives in Northern California, and enjoys spending his leisure time with his wife,
son, and their dog.
