Testimonials
“Paul led our administrators and faculty through a day-long retreat on teaching, mentoring, and understanding boys and masculinity. Christ school has been in ‘the boy business’ for 118 years — but maintaining relevance is a primary focus of ours. Paul helped us identify what we do well and what we need to work on in mentoring today’s young men. Paul was so effective, we are scheduling him to work with our students in the near future.”
