Team Building Speaker to Strengthen Managers, Sales Force & Real Estate Developers

I'd be honored to speak to and empower your management team.

As a worldwide speaker who is also a licensed real estate professional (nonpracticing) in Florida and the son to a residential builder, broker, and appraiser I understand what you are trying to accomplish with your model homes. Moreover my wife Karla is a phenomenal interior designer and home stager. www.CelebrityHomeDesign.com

As for myself, my passion is inspiring and empowering people to be their personal best, break self-imposed limitations, and achieve greatness.

I'm undoubtedly the only keynote speaker you will find who has touched over 50 countries, more than 50 islands, and 6 continents - giving me an exceptional understanding of cross-cultural communication and relating to people within the context of sales. Furthermore I'm a master practitioner in NLP and can examine your sales presentation (and/or script) to ensure you are using the right words to procure the maximum amount of sales among your team.

Skilled in conflict resolution, I understand the vital importance of team building and simultaneously dream building. My talks on breakthrough leadership and overcoming adversity are life changing. In these challenging economic times, we must replace anxiety with creativity to thrive financially.

As for getting out of the comfort zone, I worked at Ground Zero in NYC the first week of 9-11; helped rebuild a home at the tsunami epicenter; comforted victims of genocide in Rwanda; spoke to leaders in East Timor during the war; inspired students & monks in Myanmar; promoted peace & reconciliation in Pakistan; and has been so deep into the bush of rural Africa where villagers had never before seen a white man.

Overcoming adversity has been my life story!

ps. I shall be speaking on Celebrity Cruises Soltice ship July 17-27 in Greece, Italy & Turkey. Therefore if you write or phone me later and I don't reply, please know I'm still interested but will be out at sea.

Paul F. Davis is a man who has endured and been formed in the furnace of affliction, from which he has come forth with a fiery passion to resurrect hope within people. A man that knows how to play with pain and perform under pressure, Paul is a warrior and wise change master knowing how to transcend difficulties and create opportunities.

Paul is a worldwide speaker who has touched over 50 countries and the life-changing author of 18 books including Breakthrough Leadership and Overcoming Adversity.

Supernaturally gifted to lift people to live above their circumstances and break limitations, Paul empowers human potential and miraculously births transformation.

Learn how to go from feeling overwhelmed to overcoming from a man who has overcome nearly every setback and struggle imaginable. Born with pneumonia, his mother an alcoholic and drug addict, his parents divorced, his childhood unstable, his stepmother abusive: at the age of twelve years old, Paul was so miserable he contemplated suicide.

Yet something within Paul enabled him to persevere and purpose to make something great with his life. A fighter from birth, Paul went on to excel in baseball, be voted “the funniest” in his high-school class, and to graduate Cum Laude from UCF in 3 years at the age of 20.

After touching the world as a minister and motivational speaker for several years, Paul returned home from overseas to care for his grandparents in their old age. Following the death of his grandparents, Paul suffered a devastating divorce when his wife of five years had an affair, broke his heart, and stole his inheritance. After losing his home during his darkest hour, Paul processed his pain and arose from his personal ground zero to go forward with childlike faith.

Happily remarrying two years later, Paul got double for his trouble relationally, but continued to battle to get his feet on solid ground when he was hit by a drunk driver who totaled his car, left him injured physically, and nearly bankrupt financially.

Battling greedy insurers and unethical companies, Paul has obtained much that was stolen from his life. As a consumer advocate, Paul continues to fight fraudulent behavior and injustice in the marketplace. Made wise and strong from his personal struggles, Paul empowers people to overcome adversity and live life abundantly.

Academic Success Speakers is able to meet any need you may have to make your next event a success: inspirational high-energy orientations & welcome weeks; empowering messages on academic success and leadership; and heartfelt talks on healthy relationships, diversity, overcoming adversity, and prevention.

Go from feeling overwhelmed to overcoming from a man who has overcome nearly every adversity imaginable: born with pneumonia, his mother an alcoholic and drug addict, his parents divorced, his childhood unstable, his stepmother abusive: at the age of 12-years-old, he was so miserable he contemplated suicide. Later his mom was killed by an 18-year-old drunk driver and his brother spent 10 years in prison for substance abuse.

Yet after his father spanked the stupidity out of him in 6th grade for coming home with a D in Science, he aggressively tackled the books and scored 100s on his next two tests, earning the most improved student of the year award, excelling in baseball, being voted the “funniest” in his high-school class, and going on to graduate Cum Laude from UCF in 3 years at the age of 20.

Since then Paul F. Davis has become a worldwide speaker touching over 50 countries & 6 continents, while authoring 18 life-changing books. A former 12th grade high school English teacher to newly immigrated international students, Paul understands the needs of global students and how to empower them for academic success.

Exorcise Devils & Demons, Healing Miracles, Revival

Relax! I only do this in a church setting if asked and given the liberty to pray for people.

As a professional speaker I am very respectful, harnessed and restrained never over stepping my given perimeters or boundaries.

Here in this video I was simply gently praying for people when all of the sudden this wierd manifestation popped up before me which obviously was demonic. The process to deal with the demon was a bit ugly (but necessary to bring change rather than leave him in a bound predicament tormenting his wife and family), but the end result was beautiful (as later verified by the man's Pastor and wife).

Tolerance Speaker on Equality & The Dignity of All Human Beings

As a worldwide speaker who has the privilege and honor to interact with people throughout the global community, I must say President Obama's recent words in Cairo spoke to me and hopefully the world at large.

"I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles -- principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."

"...I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly to each other the things we hold in our hearts and that too often are said only behind closed doors. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground. As the Holy Koran tells us, "Be conscious of God and speak always the truth." (Applause.) That is what I will try to do today -- to speak the truth as best I can, humbled by the task before us, and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart."

Let us heed these wise words, endeavor to listen, learn from one another, respect one another, and rejoice together as fellow citizens in the global community. Because together there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

Paris on the Prowl: Paris on the Prowl for Something New?

I recently heard on TV while doing cardio at the gym, "Paris on the prowl."

Well a woman with Paris' looks shouldn't have to be on the prowl, but if she wants to then well, ok. Go Paris!

Live your life your way.

As for me I think if a woman with Paris' looks is on the prowl and having difficulty keeping a guy, maybe she should read my book "Healthy Relationships - Compatibility, Commitment & Captivating Love Life"

Obviously there is more to relationships than looks. Otherwise Hollywood stars would rarely lose a man.

The same goes for you if you're so worried about Paris that you're not fully living your life.

Global Students Experience: Incredible Global Students Experience

Being a global student and lifelong learner is the greatest experience on earth!

www.PaulFDavis.com - worldwide speaker and advocate for global students experience

Invite Paul to speak at your college or University - RevivingNations@yahoo.com

Long gone are the days of isolationism and protectionism, whereby nations kept back their own people from leaving their borders to brave the high seas and journey to foreign lands seeking adventure and discovery. When the Berlin wall fell between East and West Germany, walls and barriers collapsed throughout the world and people across the earth experienced a newfound freedom.

Freedom rings loud and clear within the hearts of humanity. People deeply want to connect with the beauty of creation and thereby discover the unimaginable facets and glory of their Creator. The heart of mankind is such that we love to explore, adventure, discover, taste, and see new things. The world was created to be enjoyed and people impregnated with hearts inclined to purposefully explore. Such global exploration leads to great personal, relational, and professional fulfillment.

Newness of life is a way of life and one I have wholeheartedly embraced for 20 years. With the faith of a child I have recklessly abandoned myself to follow my heartfelt passions and journey afar to foreign lands (over 50 countries, more than 50 islands and 6 continents thus far), where I have met some of the most wonderful people, experienced cross-cultural joy, and immense personal fulfillment.

You’d have to kill me to get me to stop traveling overseas. I am a nomad at heart. Whether I am in the most untouched terrains of rural Africa or the illustrious Mediterranean Sea beholding the breathtaking Greek islands, my heart is always greatly alive when I am in the midst of new experiences and global exploration.

That being said I deeply want to awaken the hearts of all students (especially secondary, college and university students) to the global student experience. When student with passport in hand leave their homeland to journey to new and far away places, it awakens both the child and adult within. This glorious blend of childhood passion and adult like responsibility is dynamically awakened when students journey beyond the comfort zone into the unknown.

I cannot recommend a greater experience to both educate students and facilitate personal self-awareness then a cross-cultural journey to a far away land where unknown adventures and discoveries await.

___________________________________________________________________

Before you leave your homeland and seek to go on an adventure of a lifetime, I advise students to do a few things to first prepare their hearts and get themselves in the right frame of mind beforehand.

Like the Berlin wall separating East and West Germany that had to be chipped away at until it eventually fell, I now want to give you some daily exercises to practice internally to demolish walls that might be already and perhaps unknowingly erected in your heart subconsciously causing you to demonize and alienate other people unlike you.



How can we daily chip away at and break down walls in a post 9-11 era?



1. Refuse to be gripped and governed by fear.

Fear is self-centered revolving around self-preservation. Fear has torment and is paralyzing. Fear is interest paid in advance on something you most likely will never own. It has been said ninety percent of our fears never occur. Therefore the only thing to fear is fear itself. Be bold, courageous, and fearless!

2. Believe the best about people, until they prove otherwise.

People should be innocent until proven guilty. Seek to prove people worthy, rather than looking for guilt. There is good in all of us that needs to be affirmed and recognized. Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. Before you entertain and listen to the bad about a person, ask to hear about the good.

3. Love and accept people unconditionally.

The Creator and universe loves and accepts us unconditionally as human beings. Do likewise. Create a culture of love and acceptance. As you do a community to which others want to belong will be created. Give people hope to belong, believe, and become.

4. Be hopeful and expect the best from people.

When you show a positive expectation toward people, you cause them to want to live up to your expectations. It is the force of faith in operation pulling people higher. Speak to and address people's potential. Enlarge their vision and horizon paving the way for them to step into it.

5. Don't be paralyzed by presumption and erroneous predispositions.

Beware of propaganda. Don't believe everything the media and people tell you. Most often they are misinformed or only partially telling the entire story. Do your homework before wholly embracing something as gospel truth.

6. Investigate and seek the truth.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Not everything you hear is worth listening to. Truth must be tested and examined over time. Lies last but for a moment. The truth however is timeless and always does endure. Hold to the truth and don't sell out to compromise.

7. Celebrate and honor all people.

As you live and let live, you shall liberate people. Celebrating and honoring people is the first way we bond with them. Before we can together build, we must first bond. Let the bonds of brotherhood grow, increase, and be strengthened.

8. Forgive and live.

We all make mistakes. Give people another chance and be willing to put some things behind you. We as individuals and nations learn over time. For some it takes more time than for others to catch on. As we forgive, we free ourselves from carrying hostility and hate within our hearts. When we forgive we live and allow others to do the same.

9. Be patient, peaceful, and progressive.

Change doesn't happen overnight. It is progressive and ongoing. Strive to be patient with people and nations as we all evolve. People make changes in an atmosphere of love. Russia's Gorbachev brought down the wall because of President Reagan's charm and heartfelt appeal. Reagan never threatened Gorbachev with war if he didn't obey. Love is patient and kind. Patience and a peaceful disposition often precede progress. Nobody likes to be pushed. Patience tenderly and purposefully pulls people by their heartstrings forward progressively.

10. Let dialogue and diplomacy replace hostility.

National dictators often just want to be recognized on the global scene and acknowledged. By welcoming everyone to the table to talk, we can diffuse much hostility and build bridges internationally. Nobody ever died during a discussion. Dialogue and diplomacy enables us to go deeper to the real root issue motivating a person. Let us all continue to break down walls between us so we can be a global community interconnected with heartfelt understanding and compassion.

___________________________________________________________________



Paul F. Davis is a worldwide speaker, peacemaker, change master, mediator resolving conflict disputes, and life purpose coach (relational & professional). Paul is recognized globally as a catalyst for personal empowerment, success, and dream fulfillment. Paul has touched over 50 countries, more than 50 islands, and 6 continents building bridges cross-culturally and empowering people throughout the earth to live their dreams!
Paul is the author of 18 life-changing books and over 1,000 articles that have appeared in numerous business journals, trade publications, and magazines. Paul’s incredible depth and rich writings make him a notable and unforgettable speaker able to connect with and inspire any audience to achieve greatness.
Paul has appeared on several international broadcasts from Oprah & Friends to Fox News to talk about relational intricacies, conflict resolution, peacemaking, foreign policy, and diplomacy. Investor’s Business Daily interviewed Paul on success secrets.



Playboy Radio Afternoon Advice host Tiffany Granath interviewed Paul for 45 minutes and allowed him to counsel callers, after which Tiffany called Paul an “awesome” relational coach and recommends his books on love, dating, and sexuality. Paul has been quoted as a relational expert in the New York Post, First For Women on The Go, Hitched Magazine, Lava Life, Canadian Woman, and many more.



Beyond Paul’s celebrity guest appearances, Sharing Ideas professional speakers’ magazine featured Paul in an article on success secrets for speakers. By reason of his global travels, Paul is a highly sought after diversity, multicultural awareness, and global students experience speaker.
Paul worked at Ground Zero in New York City the first week of 9-11; helped rebuild a home at the tsunami epicenter; comforted victims of genocide in Rwanda; spoke to leaders in East Timor during the war; inspired students & monks in Myanmar; promoted peace & reconciliation in Pakistan; and has been so deep into the bush of rural Africa where villagers had never before seen a white man.



Academically outstanding Paul graduated with honors from his alma mater at UCF, after which Paul studied negotiations at Harvard Business School; Conflict Resolution & Mediation at Hofstra Law School; Advanced Interrogations and Theology. Paul understands the rigors of college life and therefore knows how to speak on the keys to academic success in route to earning better grades and transitioning into professional life after college. As a speaker giving college talks, Paul likes to humorously and elegantly facilitate transformation for college students in each talk he delivers.



Approachable and relatable, Paul makes college students feel unconditionally loved while simultaneously challenging them to be their best. With personal stories college students can relate to, Paul empowers college students to passionately live their dreams and be their personal best.



If personal achievement is important to you, the best thing you can do is hear an inspirational college talk delivered by an incredible motivational and keynote speaker like Paul.



Paul’s college talk delivery style is noticeably different as is his rich content. How many speakers do you know giving a talk to college students who have touched over 50 countries, more than 50 islands, and 6 continents? Paul has done so and even lived overseas in many of those continents and war-torn regions, wherein he has deeply connected cross-culturally with people throughout the world.



During the first of his five tours throughout war-torn Africa, Paul slept in a tent for two months in areas so remote villagers had never before seen a white man. Little children freaked out at first, screamed, and ran thinking Paul was a ghost. Others swarmed around him in astonishment saying, “Mzungoo” (which is to say “white man”).



Experiences throughout the world like these have shaped and made Paul into the man and motivational speaker he is today. Paul’s talks and words therefore carry an unusual depth and weight that connect and quickly penetrate the hearts of the hearers.



As a former 11th and 12th grade English teacher to international students in a heavily diverse and D grade public high school, Paul understands diversity and what college orientation directors, academic deans, and student advisors need to know to facilitate success for students transitioning from high school to college.



As a globe trekker and English teacher to international students endeavoring to attend American colleges and Universities, Paul is well acquainted with global student experiences and challenges. Global students and travel awaken Paul’s heart, as does speaking to global students on college campuses. Paul’s college talks have a unique way of bringing people together, while causing them to celebrate their differences and be empowered to happily live authentically.



A college talk with Paul is always high energy, uplifting, and engaging. Paul likes to interact with college students in the audience and role-play using real life scenarios. Voted the funniest in his high-school class, you can be sure a college talk with Paul is going to be full of fun and humor. With Paul every college talk is going to be fun, witty, and a bit wild to challenge the erroneous presumptions and misnomers students tend to hold to until they awaken and become more self-aware.



Upholding the integrity of every individual, Paul respectfully and playfully interacts with college students to cause them to think and experience a paradigm shift when needed. The son of an alcoholic and drug addict, Paul knows how to talk straight to college students and warn them of the dangers of substance abuse. Paul’s mom died as the result of an 18 year-old drunk driver on the streets at 2:00AM. Moreover Paul himself was nearly killed by a drunk driver in July 2008 when he was hit just before 5:00PM on a Tuesday afternoon in route to Stetson University. The drunk driver hit Paul from behind, spinning his car around, and thereafter being drunk and not stopping hit Paul’s car a second time completely totaling Paul’s vehicle. Upon arriving at the scene of the accident police immediately arrested the two-time DUI female offender. As for Paul, by God’s grace and hand of protection, he lived to tell about the dangers of drunk driving.



What makes a college talk special with Paul is his speaking style is heartfelt, passionate, purposeful, and powerful. A college talk with Paul is both emotional and always memorable. Paul often gets invited back year after year to many colleges and countries where he has previously given a talk.



As Paul learned in Indonesia (the world’s largest Muslim populace and archipelago full of countless islands with amazing surf), it is important to always be prepared to give a motivational talk anytime and anywhere. The Indonesians often invited Paul to speak at their birthday parties. A bit odd Paul thought, but upon arriving, the Indonesians genuinely wanted to hear a word of encouragement and inspiration on their birthday. Paul therefore would talk for 15 to 20 minutes, bless the birthday girl or boy, and proceed to enjoy the party.



Indonesians really know how to throw a birthday party! Whenever Paul gave a talk at a birthday party in Indonesia, there were usually about 75 people or more present.



That being said, Paul is available to talk to any size crowd (informal or formal) at any of the following functions (plus any other creative events you can engineer :o).

anywhere in the world)

Michael Jackson, Painkillers & Prescription Meds Cause of Death

Excerpts below from a Associated Press article titled "Jackson insisted promoter hire his cardiologistwriters" by John C. Rogers, Lynn Elber, Gillian Flaccus and Thomas Watkins reveal my earlier suspicions concerning the surprising and sudden death of superstar king of pop Michael Jackson.

Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said Jackson was taking some prescription medications, but did not specify what they were.

Police seized Murray's car the night before, saying they believed the car may contain drugs or other evidence, but have insisted that Murray has been cooperative and do not consider him a criminal suspect.

"We do not consider him to be uncooperative at this time," said police Deputy Chief Charlie Beck, noting that detectives spoke with the doctor after Jackson's death. "We think that he will assist us in coming to the truth of the facts in this case."

Records reveal years of financial troubles for Murray, who practices medicine in California, Nevada and Texas. His Nevada medical practice, Global Cardiovascular Associates, was slapped with more than $400,000 in court judgments, and he faces at least two other pending cases and several tax liens.

Lou Ferrigno, the star of "The Incredible Hulk," said he had been working out with Jackson for the past several months. Still, Jackson's health had been known to be precarious in recent years, and one family friend said Friday that he had warned the entertainer's family about his use of painkillers.

"I said one day we're going to have this experience. And when Anna Nicole Smith passed away, I said we cannot have this kind of thing with Michael Jackson," Brian Oxman, a former Jackson attorney and family friend, told NBC's "Today" show. "The result was I warned everyone, and lo and behold, here we are. I don't know what caused his death. But I feared this day, and here we are."

Oxman claimed Jackson had prescription drugs at his disposal to help with pain suffered when he broke his leg after he fell off a stage and for broken vertebrae in his back.

...When Michael Jackson was on trial on child molestation charges in 2005, Jackson appeared gaunt and had recurring back problems that he attributed to stress. His trial was interrupted several times by hospital visits, and Jackson once even appeared late to court dressed in his pajamas after an emergency room visit.

After his acquittal, Jackson's prosecutor argued against returning some items that had been seized from Neverland, the Santa Barbara County estate Jackson had converted into a children's playland. Among the items were syringes, the powerful painkiller Demerol and other prescription drugs.

Demerol carries a long list of warnings to users. The government warns that mixing it with certain other drugs can lead to reactions including slowed or stopped breathing, shock and cardiac arrest.

Let this be a warning for people throughout the world to be extremely cautious and thoughtful before taking painkillers and prescription meds (which can be highly addictive and destructive).

My mother died prematurely as a result of alcoholism and substance abuse. In some small way I want to be a voice for substance abuse prevention and a detour for those who might drive drunk.
