Paula Schwartz, MBA is the founder of TRX Change and author of Transform Better: Predictable Success for Complex Change Initiatives. She works with executives, transformation leaders, and cross-functional teams to drive behavior-based, systems-aware change in complex organizations. With 20+ years of experience spanning Fortune 50 companies to local nonprofits, Paula brings a direct, grounded speaking style that turns insights into action.
She is the creator of the SCALE Framework, which helps organizations manage the structural and behavioral forces that silently shape outcomes.
Her keynotes and workshops are known for their clarity, practicality, and lasting impact. Attendees leave with shared language, immediate tools, and the confidence to lead transformation — not just talk about it.
Transformation is not a technical challenge. It is a behavior challenge. But behaviors can not be separated from the structures and culture which call them forth. After 20 years of work in a variety of organizations ranging from Fortune 50 to Local Charities, Paula's passion for effective and practical business solutions is giving new hope to transformation leaders.
Her approach is:
Pragmatic. Clear, actionable guidance rooted in real organizational constraints—not theory.
Behavior-Based. Focused on what leaders and teams must do differently to achieve results.
System-Oriented. Connects individual behavior to enterprise outcomes, alignment, and accountability.
Experiential. Paula interacts with her audience using real-world scenarios, analogies, and guided activities that move participants from simply understanding an idea to internalizing it—and applying it to their teams immediately.
