Dr. Paul L. Corona is a leadership development professor and director in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where his teaching and coaching ratings average 97/100.

Paul also coaches successful, extraordinarily committed executives to simultaneously improve their performance and find true fulfillment.

He and his client-partners leverage a longstanding adult learning theory (“andragogy”) that suggests:

• Adults must want to learn . . . and will learn only what they feel they need.

• Adults learn by doing . . . and focusing on problem-solving.

• Experience affects adult learning.

• Adults learn best in an informal situation.

• Adults want guidance and consideration as equal partners in the process.

As a Leading Global Coach award winner, Paul was considered for the first Thinkers50 Marshall Goldsmith Coaching & Mentoring Award (the Thinkers50 Awards have been called “the Oscars” of management thinking). He also founded the award-winning Lee’s 3 Habits system, which helps motivated professionals build stronger relationships and achieve greater happiness — and he’s the author of The Wisdom of Walk-Ons: 7 Winning Strategies for College, Business and Life.

Paul previously held a variety of leadership roles in Fortune 500 corporations, a Big 4 accounting and consulting firm, and major research universities.

Most importantly, Paul is a husband, parent and friend.
