Read positive feedback on what previous clients are saying about REFocus! Paul is able to combine his continuous studies of the sales and management processes with 40 plus years of business success from such notable companies as Xerox to help his clients become more successful in these trying times. He stands in absolute contrast to many who present themselves as “experts” in sales and management training, but have no formal training or practical business, sales, or management experience. Paul has the uncanny ability to relate to the client, at all levels. He is able to help individuals and management teams REFocus on the key factors that will build a winning organization and “own” the quality of their decisions, their actions, and their results.

Paul has worked with St. John’s Job Hunters Support Group for the last 15 months and heads our interview preparation program. We know that our candidates are prepared to sell themselves and our job interview “close rate” is outstanding. When our candidates find work, they invariably credit Paul’s coaching as a key to their success. Simply put, Paul teaches our attendees how to develop their interview strategies; how to “work in” specific examples of past performance; and how to convince prospective employers that they are the “right person for the right job.”

Paul is extremely perceptive and very adept at asking the right questions to quickly and thoroughly understand the specific needs of your particular business. I am most impressed be this skill, which can only be earned through his years of front line business development experience, working with a broad spectrum of firms and businesses. Paul is most sincere in his desire to enhance both the business and personal success of all those who request his services. I personally feel that he is not happy until the client feels that Paul has successfully provided a value added service

Paul is a very insightful professional. He doesn’t just accept the “as-is” (answer, approach, process) but instead, brings his considerable experience and broad knowledge to look at it from different perspectives providing his clients with valuable feedback that improves the “as-is”10-fold.

Paul Bruno and I crossed paths a few years ago at a Personal and Professional Development program. Since then Paul has become a friend, a mentor and a trusted business associate. His high standards, extensive experience, unbound creativity, wonderful sense of humor, authentic persona, and deep commitment to the success of his clients, make it a pleasure to work with him. I recently engaged him to help me transition from a long career in corporate environments to successful entrepreneurship. I highly recommend Paul to any individual or organization that is going through significant transitions.

Drop your wish list in Paul’s lap and stand back! Be ready to receive a magnificent outcome that will be unique, thoughtful, and LOADED with take aways! Once you meet Paul, his laughter will resonate in your memory and will bring a smile to your face when he is not even in the room…I love this guy!

Paul has more than a “theory of the case” on how to improve performance and bring things to the next level. He has practical advice from his own real-life successes in industry and he helps you to craft specific steps that you can take that match your and your organization’s style and situational needs.

Paul Bruno is a genuine professional and an inspirational human being. Paul has been a colleague, co-author and friend for over twenty years, and in that time, I have observed him traversing the ins and outs and ups and downs of career and family life with unyielding optimism, determination, and faithfulness to his values. As a trainer, consultant and coach, Paul immediately demonstrates his credibility and experience—sharing generously with those helps “REFocus” their performance and career and life goals.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Paul Bruno for the past seven years. As President of REFocus, Inc., Paul was instrumental in the design, development and implementation of a new performance appraisal process for Concord Management Ltd. Paul has the ability to ask a question and listen patiently as the answer is revealed through safe, honest communication.
On a personal note, I value Paul's insightful wisdom and consider him a trusted mentor.

We were very fortunate to have Paul present at our Quarterly Meeting. We typically have around 75 people but due to the anticipation of his "We decide when to win . . . not the experts!" presentation we had well over 100 in attendance with everyone giving rave reviews. Paul was able to tailor his positive consulting / coaching approach directly to the specifics of our business. He really connected with our group by using some of our real world specific business examples throughout his presentation. I would recommend Paul to any size group and know that he will exceed their expectations.
