Hi, I'm Paul Devassy.
I am a coach, ex-corporate risk leader, and a gallantry-awardee former military officer. Connect with me if you are interested in better leadership and effortless change management.
About Me
Hey there, I’m Capt. Paul Devassy– your go-to guy for leadership and change management coaching. With over 30 years of navigating both military and corporate terrains, I’ve seen it all. Picture this: gallantry-awardee in the military, seamlessly transitioning into the fast-paced world of corporate risk leadership. Yeah, that’s me.
Working with thousands of folks in high-pressure situations, I’ve learned a thing or two about people, leadership, and the art of managing change. It’s not just about strategies on paper; it’s about understanding the heartbeat of human dynamics, about guiding individuals through challenges and transitions.
Now, my mission? To channel all that experience into coaching – to be the guy who helps you unlock your full potential. I get it; change is daunting. But with me in your corner, consider it a transformative journey. I’ve been there, done that, and I’m here to guide you through it.
I believe everyone has untapped greatness within, waiting to shine. Through coaching, I’m all about inspiring you to rise above challenges, build resilience, and lead with unshakeable confidence. Let’s embark on this journey together – because your leadership potential is worth every step.
