Bio

There is only one word to describe PAUL HEKIMIAN. Positive. The man eats, sleeps, walks and talks it, and regardless of the environment, circumstance or target of his attention -he simply radiates it. His electric energy is contagious if not infectious! Driven by this grand concept of "being positive", Paul has defined his life's work around it and has sparked a movement that is igniting audiences and spreading like wildfire.

The Visionary

Paul Hekimian is a visionary for the new millennium. One of those folks whose mind runs a mile a minute, generating wonderfully creative and extraordinary ideas that could enhance countless lives or perhaps even change the world.. But that's just the beginning…and usually where others' grand ideas stop. Not for Paul Hekimian. His conceptual driving force for change generates energy to fruitfully sustain and accelerate these ideas to ultimately attract supporters like a magnet.

The Entrepreneur and Athlete

Paul Hekimian does not follow the path of least resistance. Inspired by a lineage of entrepreneurialism, he inherited an unyielding “survival of the fittest” mentality which has supported him through the dog-eat-dog world of business ownership, corporate sales and the launching of rather unconventional community organizations. He has excelled in marketing and sales leadership roles for well over 20 years and tested his ability to start something, literally from scratch, by founding his very own specialty cheesecake company, which he sold for profit after nearly 5 years. While his proven track record in the boardroom command attention and respect, Paul further calls upon the influence of his industrialist father, pairing his diverse business expertise with a devout appreciation for collective peak performance and community through athletics. In 2000, Paul founded the Los Angeles Triathlon Club which provides a network of information, services, training and racing activities and friendship for its, now, 1400 members. And his latest venture is the C-Different Foundation, a non-profit which links the world of athletics, and its life-changing gifts, to the visually-impaired.

As an entrepreneur and athlete, he has created an inspiring story by overcoming tremendous challenges met along the journey of unchartered territory. And through intense reflection of this rich history Paul has pulled two undeniable truths: Attitude is everything and never take no for an answer. From ridicule and rejection, to heart-wrenching injuries to financial duress, this courageous risk taker, has survived these failures to embrace superlative success. His unyielding positive outlook stems from pure acceptance of the choices he makes and the anticipation of more fabulous celebration.

The Community Leader and Connector

Paul has unwaveringly abided by and unabashedly endorsed the Law of Attraction, which declares “that which you visualize, you materialize.” Using his industry savvy and street-smarts to craft a prosperous career path, this vivacious triathlete has surrounded himself with a close-knit, loving family and a loyal entourage of friends, business associates and community members –all before the age of forty. Through his meticulous, comprehensive study of Dr. Maxwell Maltz’s Psycho-Cybernetics, Paul has found that his connection to his own inner strength is further capitalized on in all of his relationships. Since 1986, Paul has absorbed Maltz’s personal development wisdom, seeing the benefits of its application in the health and balance of his body, mind, family, career and place in society. Humbly stated, he realizes that he is a walking billboard for manifesting enviable success by living a positively-tuned life -an epiphany most folks never have. And since great power brings great responsibility, Paul has chosen to lead and connect anyone who seeks the opportunity to ascend into a way of positive living and grow progressively and prolifically. Paul replaces people’s failed “lucky star” pipedream, with his favorite mantra: “You get what you give”. In serving others by cultivating opportunities for a better society, Paul is indeed blessed ten-fold in return!

The Humanitarian

Having assessed his journey, Paul modestly accepts that he is to be another great communicator for the masses. Through the roles he’s collectively filled, he has attained the ultimate level of practicing what he has preached his entire life: positive thinking begets positive actions and outcomes. His calling to inspire and teach others this way of life was, and still is, challenged by society’s need for ideas to be tangible. He is determined to help society overcome the pessimistically unyielding belief that this concept of “being positive” miles out of one’s reach.

Paul is on a mission and determined to tap all his resources to drive the vision, triumph through challenges, and share the magical gift of what he has coined "The Paulsitive Movement" that will enhance countless lives throughout the world. What makes him extraordinary is his passionate commitment to making a difference to humanity by sharing his inspirational philosophy so others may also discover their inherent brilliance and live to their highest potential. And what makes him exceptional, is that he is beginning with our future generation.

In his young life, Paul has humbly come to define his life through so very many admirable titles. Visionary, athlete, entrepreneur, leader, humanitarian. Though different on the surface, these roles equate to the same targeted mission. Paul is a crusader for a Paulsitive society. He is building an army of positive thinkers and won’t take no for an answer.
