More About Paul

Paul Kingsman is a sought-after expert on how to be distraction-proof. He teaches financial services professionals how to maintain focus to successfully grow their businesses and achieve outstanding long-term results.

He knows the importance of keeping focused in life’s split seconds first hand: he trained for 13 years to swim a two-minute backstroke race at the Olympics, and won a medal by only four one-hundredths of a second.

As an Olympic medalist, Paul knows the principles and processes needed to succeed in a highly competitive environment. As a financial advisor, he understands the daily business realities of this industry. His experience enables him to equip audiences and coaching clients with practical solutions to overcome distractions, pursue their priorities, and increase their AUM.

After retiring from competitive swimming, Paul applied the same success habits he had developed in the sport to business, going on to achieve big results with companies such as Speedo and Morgan Stanley, both in his native country of New Zealand and in the US. He has worked on the retail side of the financial services business with a wire house, bank, and RIA, as well as on the wholesale side with an asset management firm, giving him a broad understanding of the challenges advisors face.

With clients such as Wells Fargo, New York Life, AIG SunAmerica, BlackRock, Bank of America, and UBS Financial Services, Paul has helped advisors at some of the world’s most prominent financial companies to gain control, work smarter, and succeed sooner.
