Paul Meshanko

While many speakers entertain, Paul Meshanko helps audiences understand that being more productive and more fulfilled, in any aspect of life, requires more than a feel-good diversion. It involves a change in thought processes and attitudes.

So what could a white, middle-aged, middle class male have to say about diversity? Plenty!

Paul draws upon years of corporate experience, stories from world travels, and his own “mixed” marriage to help his audiences understand the power of respect.

He’s not just another motivational speaker, but an attitude strategist.

In 1997, after a successful 12-year career with Honeywell Automotive, Paul opened the Edge Learning Institute’s Cleveland office. Since then, he has provided motivational keynote presentations and leadership, staff and group development programs to companies nationwide. Paul was also a contributing designer to the company’s Increasing Respect in the Workplace® diversity program.

Paul has inspired over 500,000 people in 20 countries. He is consistently rated a “best in class” speaker and facilitator by companies nationwide. His speaking themes focus on client needs and include workplace diversity, organizational culture, personal effectiveness, change management,
teambuilding, time management and work-life balance.


“Diversity is one of the most misunderstood philosophies and Paul breaks it down to its simplest form – respect. He allows participants to express their own thoughts and feelings and helps them break through their stereotypes to understand the message he’s
delivering.”

Kal Keitel, Human Resources Director – St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital
