Culture By Design: Transforming Workplaces One Brain Pattern Interrupt at a Time

No wonder our minds habitually focus on what’s wrong and why we’re frustrated instead of where we could be and what it would take to get there. This is where Fundamism™ changes everything. ...

No wonder our minds habitually focus on what’s wrong and why we’re frustrated instead of where we could be and what it would take to get there. This is where Fundamism changes everything.

Workplace culture expert Paul J. Long has discovered a powerful truth: Culture isn’t something you fix—it’s something you create through moment-by-moment choices. Through his principles of deliberate connection, he teaches leaders and teams how to implement “brain pattern interrupts” that shift attention from problems to possibilities.

The insight is simple but profound: You can’t be deliberate and overwhelmed at the same time.

When you become intentional about how you show up, how you connect, and where you focus, you transform your experience—and your organization’s culture.

This keynote is ideal for:

  • Leaders tasked with improving workplace culture and employee experience
  • Teams navigating significant change or challenging market conditions

Audiences will walk away with:

  • Practical “brain pattern interrupt” techniques they can implement immediately
  • A framework for creating meaningful interactions that enhance team connection and create more of “what’s good”
  • A renewed sense of purpose and meaning in their daily lives

About Keynote Speaker Paul J. Long

What do you, your organization, customers, family and every other member of society have in common?

We all have been through something, are currently going through something or will, inevitably, go through something.

So how do we interrupt the thoughts that accompany those challenges to promote a stronger connection to the present, others and ourselves?

The answer is FUNDAMISM. Created by Author and Transformative Speaker on Employee Engagement, Resilience, and Mental Wellness, Paul Long shares how FUNDAMISM stimulates “brain pattern interrupts.” The result? More meaningful interactions with others, the ability to challenge monotony, and manifest more of what’s GOOD in life!

Paul began his corporate career as an insurance underwriter in a call center environment. He climbed the ladder and ultimately accepted a position as the Director of Contact Center Operations of a Fortune 300 company. Paul had everything that society had convinced him would make him happy but something was missing. Something significant. He left the corporate world and made a commitment to help others find more joy, connection, and fulfillment.

Not only will Paul make you laugh, smile and think, he’ll provide you with tactical solutions for growth that, if committed and if applied, will improve performance and every aspect of your life!
