Paula
Paula is an executive director in senior living who has spent her career proving that people-first leadership delivers measurable business outcomes. She combines hard operational results — record NOI, sub-0.5% overtime, care margins of 18–44%, back-to-back U.S. News Best Senior Living awards — with a deep commitment to building psychologically safe cultures where leaders and teams actually thrive.
Her path to leadership wasn't linear. She came up through marketing, spoke her way into rooms where she wasn't expected to hold her ground, and learned early — from both good and bad leaders — that how you treat people is your strategy. She's done the personal work too: learning to listen more than she talks, to sit with problems instead of jumping to solutions, and to lead with curiosity over certainty.
Today, Paula speaks and teaches on emotional intelligence in leadership, servant leadership, conflict resolution, and healthy culture. Her unique edge is that she's not a theorist — she runs an organization, hits the numbers, and coaches her leaders in real time. The resources she's created are distilled from that experience, built for leaders who want practical tools they can use now.
