Working with Paul has always been a pleasure. He encourages me to think outside the box and guides me to work within a space where my values are aligned and my strengths are utilized.  I always look forward to our check in meetings as they provide me with clarity on priorities and I leave feeling energized and ready for any obstacles in my path.  Perhaps one of the most valuable things that Paul taught me was to “slow it down to speed it up” I think of that often and it helps me make better decisions.  Thank you for everything Paul, for always believing in me and giving me such positive guidance!

As a seasoned sales professional, I had my concerns about moving into a new industry that I knew nothing about.  Fortunately, my path led me to Paul Allen Silitsky. Paul took the time to teach me about home health care and reminded me that I was the commodity that I was selling.  Paul reinforced that the secret to success is about establishing trust and rapport and always remaining true to myself.  Paul will ask the tough questions and urged me to learn about myself even when I didn’t know there was still more to learn. He is authentic and his depth of experience is invaluable!I was fortunate to have Paul mentor me and I know we will always stay connected.

The guidance I received from Paul in finding a new career direction after recovering from a life changing illness is immeasurable. I knew I did not want to return to what I had been doing before, but had no idea where to start in my quest for a new direction. I took the Kolbe assessment, and Paul helped me use the results to evaluate new options.His contacts and knowledge for making connections in any field are immensely helpful. With his guidance and know-how, I was able to make the needed connections to secure a job in a new field. He provided strategies I never would have thought of myself to incorporate skills I had obtained not just in my career, but in my past volunteer activities. I gained both confidence and knowledge working with Paul. I would not be where I am without him.

“I interned at Paul’s talent acquisition firm after my freshman year of undergrad. Since that internship, Paul has helped me land other internships, my first full-time job, and has been a person I feel like I can bounce ideas off when I am feeling conflicted.Of the many things Paul has taught me, the lesson I value the most is the importance of being vulnerable. Through recommended readings, through example, and through discussion, Paul has shown me what it means to be honest with myself, and the value of staying true to my beliefs in my actions. While I am still working to improve on being vulnerable, I think more about why I am doing things and why I feel like I do more than I ever have before. This has led to many life changes and has made me a much happier person. I cannot thank Paul enough for all that he has done for me.”

I met Paul upon graduating from college. Like many college grads, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do. I felt strongly about his ability as a leader. Throughout the years I worked with Paul he helped to guide my career and development. I learned a tremendous amount, not just about recruiting but about business in general. Paul aided me in becoming a certified career coach and together we created a division of answerQUEST that helped individuals realize their career potential. Paul has a knack for helping individuals understand what drives them, what motivates their soul, and how to translate that into a rewarding career. If you are considering a career change or at the early stages of beginning your career and you’re not sure where to start, Paul is someone who can help connect the dots for you.

Paul mentored me early on in my career and I will always be grateful for the advice and wisdom he offered me. During that time, I had the privilege of observing Paul manage a team of recruiters. What sticks with me most is how Paul was able to balance getting work done while still having FUN. He was driven and held his team accountable for their work, but there was never a dull moment in the office.Paul is an excellent coach because he listens carefully and truly cares about his clients. He assisted me in completing a Kolbe A Index Strengths Assessment while I worked with him. He walked me through the results thoughtfully and helped me brainstorm how to play to my strengths and improve my weaker areas. I still reference the results of this assessment to this day to drive me forward in my work.I would highly recommend working with Paul. You will not regret it!
