Paul Jaeb
Paul Jaeb has left quite a legacy. In 1991 he started his own firm company at age 26. Over the past 25 years he grew his investigative and forensic firm into one of the largest of its kind in the country. Along the way he Paul had many mentors, joined many participated in executive peer groups, and entrenched himself in the Twin Cities community. In 2015 he realized his original goal set 25 years prior – to sell his company at its peak. His vast network is legendary, from boardrooms and C-suites to professional athletes and non-profits executives.
Paul’s encore is to replicate what so many business leaders did for him…helping people amplify their business skills and become true leaders by creating intentional connections.

WHAT WE DELIVER
Frontrunner cohorts will coach your top performers how to understand their impact, make it replicable and expand their network to sustain optimal performance over the long run.
KEY OUTCOMES
- A bigger, more diverse, and stronger network
- A personal brand people will remember
- Social media profiles that will drive connections
- A deeper sense of community
- An ability to grow business, create genuine relationships and persuade the right people
- A lifelong network delivering greater authenticity, productivity and performance
COHORT MEETING FORMAT
Each cohort of up to 12 individuals is personally curated by Cathy and Paul. One of our business community’s glaring weaknesses is our meaningful lack of inclusion for young leaders that are recruited to the Twin Cities. While “Minnesota Nice” is a good start, we need to be more deliberate and create “Minnesota Embrace.”
Frontrunner groups meet every two weeks for 2 ½ hours at cohort participant offices.
Sessions will focus on creating each members Impact 100, personal branding, public speaking, relationship currency delivered through group meetings, individual coaching, guest speakers and curated field trips.
If a cohort isn’t the right solution, contact us about our group sessions uniquely tailored for your organization.*
IMPACT 100 - A FRONTRUNNER NETWORKING TOOL
Paul Jaeb and Cathy Paper have mastered the art of managing highly curated and diverse networks. Frontrunners will benefit from their decades of experience and guidance.
An impactful network is one that is carefully curated, diverse, and manageable.
We believe that you can only manage around 100 authentic connections. Having 10,000 social media connections is not a network.
Our goal is to foster relationships among young leaders that are reflective of our current business community and the one it will become over the next decade. Diversity in race, gender, experiences, geography, and profession are critical to our mutual success.
Leaders sometimes have a difficult time coaching associates on expanding their network. We feel good about sending them to industry events, but then realize they are only connecting with others just like themselves! If they attend “networking” events around town they may just hang out with friends. No one is pushing them to really connect.
Our IMPACT FORMULA© is a proven system that teaches Frontrunners what networking and mutually beneficial relationships should be and holds them accountable to each other in their efforts to build high impact networks. This the cornerstone of our program.
