Recommendations from Paul's Colleagues
"Paul is an absolute joy to work with. He was always coming to the table with ideas and solutions and was a natural and easy collaborator. He'll be a great addition to any company that he joins."
"For the last year and a half, I've enjoyed working with Paul every day, co-creating evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive eLearning courses! All products delivered by the content team benefited immensely from Paul's expertise, dedication, creativity, and collaborative spirit. His clinical knowledge, clear communication style, and ability to create meaningful content (both on and off camera) makes Paul a unique talent that can take your content or your clinical brand to the next level! I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again, and happily provide my sincere recommendation for any open clinical, training, or product development roles."
"Paul Deger is the ultimate clinician, partner in mindfulness, and creative presenter. His ability to engage wide and varied audiences to expand mental health literacy does Psych Hub proud. Paul has made my daily life better both personally and professionally. He is a key partner in solving problems, thought leadership, and infusing clinical values into our work. Paul leads with head and heart and it's clear in every interaction."
"There are few people whom I've seen have such an immediate and positive impact on a team, organizational culture, and a company as Paul Deger has at Psych Hub. I've had the pleasure of working with Paul for over a year and a half in a clinical content creation leadership role. The thoughtfulness and skillset that Paul brought to the team was exceptional. He is uniquely talented at working across teams toward a common goal by building meaningful relationships that make tight deadlines and problem-solving easier to navigate. Paul can direct projects with many tasks and details while simultaneously considering bigger picture strategy. But I think the characteristic that makes me a Paul Deger fan for life is his humanity. Paul is an empathic leader who infuses a human-centered approach into everything he does. He cares about doing good work and being good to people. He is, without a doubt, the person you want on your team."
"Paul has been a fantastic leadership mentor. With deep clinical operations knowledge and deep integrity I've been able to confidently continue my growth as a leader and operator. As a highly experienced mindfulness practitioner he offers the space and present-moment-awareness needed for me leave each conversation feeling grounded."
"I have worked with Paul at two different organizations. In both settings, Paul demonstrated the valuable leadership skills of mindfulness, patience, and thoughtful listening. I value the mentorship experience Paul provided, through his generous transferring of knowledge and skills. I recommend Paul to any individual or organization."
"Paul is an incredibly present and insightful mentor with exceptional experience at creating an intentional space for facilitating growth. Whatever the subject matter, with his mindful approach, he is able to connect and refocus on the overarching goals. He is well resourced and consistently offers the ideal supplemental material, whether it be a book, worksheet, or video. I would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone looking for personal or professional mentorship without hesitation."
"I have had the honor and privilege of working with Paul at Sanvello. Paul is not only a seasoned clinician, but he is also genuinely gifted in training and operations. Paul works well with a team, motivates and encourages others, and effectively assists and develops top-notch teams and programs. I highly recommend him for clinical operations, development, and training in the Behavioral Health field."
"Exceptional in every way, Paul is one of the most influential partners I have had the privilege to work alongside. Well-versed in mindfulness-based stress reduction, Paul's innate talent for developing and facilitating training that speaks to the client's greatest needs is outstanding. Combined with a deeply insightful approach, Paul's capacity to build wellness programming in an objective, data-driven manner makes collaboration initiatives both meaningful and enjoyable. His commitment to the success of his team and unquestionable integrity make Paul a tremendous asset on any team. He is the living embodiment of the compassionate approach to wellness that is so necessary in our healthcare system."
"Paul is one of the most dedicated professionals I've ever met and had the honor of working with. He is a well trained and extremely *talented* teacher, with amazing insight about how program design and delivery influences behavior change and the participant encounter with distress. Paul is committed to not just quality, but fidelity to what the data shows is most beneficial and effective."
"There are few people who have the ability to lead with kindness, while still being able to be task-oriented. Paul is one of them. I have had the great pleasure to work with Paul Deger over the last two and a half years at Sanvello Health and have seen his exceptional skills of being self-motivated, a team player, highly organized, methodical and willing to take on new projects and stretch his skill set. This is balanced by his ability to take perspective of a situation, receive and give feedback and lead his teammates with compassion and kindness. Any organization would be lucky to have Paul on their team!"
"Paul has a natural skill set for training and leadership. While working together in Learning & Development for Clinical Operations, he was always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that our trainings met the needs of our diverse learners. He also shows incredibly leadership skills as he project manages training materials to ensure consistency among company training plans."
"Paul has a great understanding of therapy and is a great trainer to help others understand the processes. He excels in mindfulness training as well!"
"I invited Paul as a speaker to my organization; both his presentation and his knowledge level are phenomenal! He greatly understands human behavior and is able to communicate principles in such a way that the audience understands and they are able to apply the principles immediately into their business/life. I highly recommend Paul!"
"Have you ever met those people who just seem to float above the fray? My Dad told me when I was young, 'It's not what happens to you in life...it's how you deal with it.' Great advice from my dad, and Paul exemplifies this motto in his work and his teaching. I have known Paul for over twenty years now, in many different capacities. If you are looking to find the stillness in yourself, look no further than the Mindfulness training that Paul offers. I was fortunate enough to recently take his four week workshop. It helped me center, relax, be silent, and find peace within myself. Paul truly 'Walks the Walk' when it comes to being in touch with yourself. I highly recommend Paul to help us all calm down."
"Paul has a very calming, peaceful presence about him that makes it clear he practices what he teaches. He has a gift at explaining concepts in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand. Paul is wonderfully adept at understanding the complexities of individual personalities and has a unique ability to modify his teaching style to best meet his client's needs. I strongly recommend Paul to anyone who is seeking to live their lives with more peace, joy and a greater ability to 'go with the flow of life'."
"Mindfulness is an amazing vehicle for personal growth and Paul makes that journey interesting! I took his Colorado Free University Class as well as some of his solo group work. Whenever I find the time to focus on mindfulness it helps me grow, and Paul is definitely the person I think of to take me on that journey. He explains things very well and has a likeable, approachable, easygoing personality. He is also a great teacher, making abstract concepts easy to understand."
"I have had the opportunity to attend a series of Mindfulness classes taught by Paul. It was an amazing experience. Paul is a great teacher and was able to to take a class with different levels of experience with meditation and make it work. He is excellent in leading the class through the meditation exercises and showing you how to make it part of your everyday life. I have recommended Paul's class to many of my physical therapy patients and have seen great results. I find that this can be an often overlooked piece of the puzzle when treating patients and it has been extremely helpful."
"I have had the privilege of working with Paul now in his capacity of teaching MBSR classes (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) to our patient population several times. His ability to explain difficult concepts in easy to understand language, his integrity and sincere desire to help and give our patient population a tool to manage their chronic pain has been very helpful. As a matter of fact, we decided to offer Paul a position on our team to start developing and teaching related courses!"
