About
Paul J Long is a leadership and culture expert who teaches organizations the principles of Fundamism™—a deliberate approach to connection that creates unbeatable workplace cultures.
In organizations today, there’s a critical disconnect: leaders are overwhelmed, teams are carrying the weight of constant change, and yet companies expect exceptional cultures. Paul’s work addresses this gap by showing that culture isn’t something we fix—it’s something we create through deliberate choices.
Drawing from his experience answering 80 customer service calls daily and leading teams of thousands for a Fortune 300 company, Paul developed Fundamism through real-world application. His methodology centers on three simple, actionable practices: owning what you can control, breaking cycles through brain pattern interrupts, and creating moments that matter.
His dynamic keynotes—”Culture By Design,” “Beyond Satisfaction,” and “The Unforgettable Leader”—equip leaders and teams with immediate strategies to reduce overwhelm, energize teams, and build cultures where people thrive.
As host of The Fundamism Podcast, Paul shares practical insights with culture champions who are transforming their organizations through the power of deliberate connection.

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.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.

The Unforgettable Leader – How to Create a Team No One Ever Wants to Leave
In today’s challenging talent landscape, one truth stands out: people don’t leave companies—they leave leaders.
What separates forgettable managers from truly unforgettable leaders? They build the kind of teams no one wants to leave. But when leaders themselves feel disconnected, how can they possibly create the kind of cultures everyone wants to be a part of?
After leading teams of thousands for a Fortune 300 company, Paul understands these critical make-or-break moments. In this deeply impactful keynote, he shares how exceptional leadership isn’t about grand strategies, but deliberate choices that make people feel seen, valued, and energized every day.

- Practical ways to boost morale, trust, and retention.
- A mindset shift from managing performance to energizing people.
- Immediate actions to become the kind of leader people choose to follow.
