Doug Brown was certainly engaging as a speaker and shared some inspirational thoughts in August 2020 - even in an online format. More importantly however, he followed up with me (and I’m guessing others) to learn more about our Association and work. Over the course of several more conversations, we worked with Doug to develop a program that was customized to the needs of our members. He has been a fantastic professional, and delivers fully, and more, on his promises. We will be booking Doug again in the near future!

Doug Brown was our professional speaker, subject matter expert and facilitator for NYSAE's virtual "Engagement Lounge" which was highly interactive and focused on coping with change overload. Doug immediately took a look at the concept and content and edited for promotion, which helped to bring up our attendance at least 25 - 30% more than expected. He did so much more than asked, including an outstanding PPT that framed the discussion and resonated with our executive audience. Even though the program was online, Doug connected with everyone who attended. I was watching the smiles and nods the entire time. He Was Outstanding! He especially navigated all the questions like the true pro that he is. Thank you, Doug, for exceeding our expectations. By the way, the next day I received a call asking if it was okay to call you to present to their organization. That was a home run --attendees wanted to listen to you again!

Doug recently presented at the 2022 IPMA-HR Eastern Region Conference in New Brunswick, NJ. His presentation on the topic of "Transformational HR - What Legacy Do You Want to Leave" was informative and engaging. Doug has obviously put in the time and effort to research organizational efficiency and how to improve a customer-based approach to leadership. His presentation style was conversational with just the right mix of humor and content. I highly recommend Doug for any organizational consulting and presentation work. Reach out to him.

Doug has provided extremely valuable leadership and communications skills, organizational development training workshops and coaching for me and my team members to help our non-profit membership organization thrive. Doug's expert, detailed analysis of our individual and collective strengths and weaknesses, presented in thorough-but-clear ways to all of us, have helped us immeasurably in becoming better leaders, better communicators, better managers and better servants to our members. Doug's experience, passion and genuine concern for our success is palpable in his teaching, discussion moderating, and personal coaching. It's not "about him," but he works hard to make sure it's "about US," and we--his clients and all we serve as a result--are the beneficiaries of his skill and care. I strongly recommend Doug's professional development and coaching services.

Doug Brown has been a consultant to the Meadowlands Regional Chamber during a 15 month long strategic planning process that has culminated in a dynamic 5 year plan which has invigorated our entire Board of Directors. Doug's deep rooted expertise in strategic thinking and goal setting are results driven and has helped put our organization on a clear path to greater success. Greater success means greater value and benefits for our membership and that is why we exist.

When strategic planning and business acumen is needed look no further! Doug Brown with Paradigm does a deep dive with your organization. His hands on approach and coaching through the process was what we needed for our Chamber of Commerce. The guidance that was provided was what was needed. Doug has also presented on timely and educational topics for us over the years! Highly recommend!

Doug Brown from Paradigm Associates has been a great partner as we move through our Leadership Training Series and the Strategic Planning process. Highly recommend!

Recently I had the pleasure to work with Doug as a part of our Strategic Planning Process. Our organization has always used strategic planning to lead our efforts for obvious reasons. This is to say that I have worked with a number of people to facilitate our strategic planning. Our process is unique in that it engages all segments of our community that is Public, Private and of course our customer. Doug was no less that excellent in being about to adjust to the various groups, getting to the meat of where we were as an organization and assisting us in flushing out a new and freshly competitive direction. I have worked as CEO of non-profits and as a part of the public sector for more than 20 years and during this time I have met few people with Dougs depth of knowledge in his area of expertise. Without hesitation I recommend Doug and would be more than willing to work with him and his team again.
