About Michelle
Equifinality is a natural and social sciences term to describe the principle that many paths can lead to the same goal. Founded on this principle, I apply behavioral science and change management expertise to help individuals, teams, and organizations maximize their effectiveness.

Dr. Michelle Caryn Paul’s passion for creating positive work environments began at her Washington, DC kitchen table, inspired by her father, a labor lawyer. Her consulting career began when she co-founded a consulting firm in Silicon Valley, helping high-growth technology companies enhance organizational health and maximize the “people side” of business. She spent fifteen years as an organizational effectiveness consultant, leading human capital interventions for government and non-profit clients. Today, as President of Equifinality Solutions, she helps her clients reinvent their business workflows with generative AI and engineer human performance for business success.
Dr. Paul earned her BA in Psychology and Sociology (summa cum laude) from Emory University, and her MA and PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Maryland College Park. She resides in the Washington, DC area, and frequently can be found either hiking a local creek trail, cycling, or dancing to Zydeco music.
