Richard Paul  

The CEO of a successful entertainment and event planning company and internationally known ventriloquist who comically speaks for two, sharing the stress reducing power of laughter and positive public

Richard’s keynotes and training programs are content driven, interactive, humorous and what many of his clients call “A practical stress management system.”

"Our staff rolled with laughter, and we could feel the stress melting away. Mr. Paul’s presentation was entertaining, yet provided practical information on the importance of simply laughing more. Our staff took away a deeper appreciation of the benefits of laughter and was given the tools needed to view life in different way. “Megan Paschall, Western Kentucky University

As the owner and CEO of a successful entertainment and events planning company for over 37 years Richard has worked with many regional and nationally known entertainers. He has planned and produced hundreds of major corporate events for companies such as General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Continental Automotive, Botsford, U of M and Henry Ford Health System. He has acted as both event planner and public relations guru, implementing his humor and many stress management techniques to work through and tame difficult abrasive behavior.

As a ventriloquist, comedian and all around funny guy Richard has discovered that there is more to life than stressing out over things that will be forgotten weeks, months and years later. His humorous stories, ventriloquism and hilarious audience participation not only helps explain the main points of each topic but also keeps the attendees alert and ready to learn.

"While you make light of your own challenges, you are able to cause your audience to reflect upon their own issues in a humorous, non-threatening way. It's a joy to be amused, challenged and motivated at the same time."

David B. Dykwell, Vice President- First Resource Federal Credit Union Chairman- Southwestern Chapter of Michigan Credit Union

"A note of thanks for your charming presentation at the UM Admin Professionals luncheon yesterday. I arrived at the event feeling surly due to the inclement weather and the stress of a heavy workload waiting for me back at the office; however, because of your laughter largesse, I left work that day with a grin on my face.

During your talk I was sitting in the audience next to a woman I had known only vaguely - yet we had a great exchange during the 'ha ha' exercise and I'm sure we'll remember that pleasant connection whenever we pass one another in the hallway."

Ms. Kerry Humphrey, Assistant to Dr. Daniel F. Hayes, University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center (UM CCC)
