Paul Nielson
Paul Nielson was born and has lived in Utah his whole life except for 2 ½ years in Chile and 20 months in Arizona for School. From his youth Paul has always been the person people confided in for many aspects of their life, relationships, work, and religious beliefs. You could say that Paul was a coach from the time he was very young helping people with new perspectives in life.
Paul never pursued this passion in life because he was also taught from a young age that as a man you are supposed to study hard, get a degree, get a good job and work to support your family. So Paul continually jumped from job to job and never felt fulfilled in anything he did. This made him search for more, so for over 30 years Paul worked with different mentors such as Tony Robbins, John Maxwell, Kirk Duncan, Brenden Buchard, Berné Brown and several others to help him with his own self development. This has cost a lot of time and many years of money that Paul didn’t have at the time to make him a better person.
In many of the companies and networking groups that Paul has participated in he has always been looked to as a leader in these groups because of his knowledge of personal development. He still could not see himself working on his own work because he wanted security for his family in a full time job.
Then one Saturday morning Paul woke with a migraine. His wife was asking him if he would take his daughter to an audition for a musical. He reluctantly went, because the alternative was to watch the two energetic boys while his wife took her. While there his daughter asked if he would audition, thinking it would be a good opportunity to perform with his daughter in a show, he auditioned with no preparation. He was made Daddy Warbucks in Annie the Musical.
During the process of the show, Paul saw changes in his daughter, specifically toward kids that were bullying her in junior high school. Paul asked her what had changed and she said she saw the value each person had in the play and maybe that changed her perspective on the other kids in school. Paul wanted to understand this more and researched more, then realized this was the niche he loved and needed to express to others to help with perspective of life to help themselves through problems in life. It changed his life and thanks to all the training he has received from the many personal development gurus in his life, Paul created Remember Your Role, a coaching and speaking company developing programs of bullyproofing (using a technique and endorsed by Izzy Kalman a psychologist in Israel), acting, self-esteem, relationship, and leadership courses.
Paul received a life coach certification from Executive Training online, and a speaker and coach Certification from John Maxwell Team. With these certifications Paul is able to do masterminds and presentations on all of John Maxwell’s books with the exceptions of those of leadership or personality development. Paul is also a facilitator for John Maxwell’s newest movement changeyourworld.com. Paul also uses the technique of Byron Katie who wrote a book called “loving what is'' and “A mind at home with itself.” Received partial training from a coach of Byron’s.
Paul is continually looking for more information and learning new techniques and processes to improve his coaching and speaking business on a consistent basis. Also Paul is just like every other human being, feeling pain, lack, struggle, anger, and on the flip side love, joy, peace, happiness and learning from every opportunity to help himself grow. Paul is not perfect, nor profess to be, he is a work in progress and always open to feedback from individuals of every type to help him improve teaching, and mentoring others in life.
Taking the statement from Shakespeare, “All of Life is a Stage, and every man and woman merely players,” Paul has created his company on the basis of helping people to “Remember Your Role” in the play of your life.
