PAUL SIDDLE

Paul Siddle, The Executive Protocol Group’s founder, began his observations of business etiquette while on assignments in England, India and Mexico with an international Fortune 500™ company; he continued his enlightenment while holding numerous sales management positions for the largest family-owned brewery in the US.

He met with and entertained decision-makers from America’s largest consumer companies and witnessed the best and worst behavior the business world had to offer (internally and externally).

These business interactions provided Paul with the realization each company possesses multiple facets responsible for its culture. One must recognize and manage these facets to conduct business effectively. There is, however, one common thread embedded in successful business operations: powerful business etiquette!

Armed with this knowledge he began developing his unique and often humorous concept of business etiquette training seminars for corporations.

Paul is a Certified Protocol and Etiquette Facilitator and member of the American Society for Training and Development. He has twice been selected to present his "Power Etiquette for Professionals" seminar to the candidates in the University of Richmond's prestigious Management Development Program.

Additionally, he was selected to facilitate business etiquette training for Bank of America's Professional Development program, First Union Bank's Capital Management Group and WellPoint, Inc.'s Executive Excellence program. He is also an instructor for Cisco Systems, Inc.'s acclaimed Sales Masters Series.

As a widely renowned business consultant, Paul has contributed to business program content on National Public Radio and is frequently called upon to contribute his expertise to numerous magazine and newspaper articles.
