About Paul Lloyd Hemphill
As a popular TV guest, author, speaker, and videographer, Paul Lloyd Hemphill was born in
Houlton, Maine in the last century.
After receiving his college degree with honors in philosophy, he was drafted into the US Army.
While serving in Viet Nam, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Vietnamese Cross
of Gallantry.
He returned home to a life-long career in marketing and advertising and used his philosophical
training in critical thinking to inspire his ability to write thousands of short and information-
packed radio ads; he brings that same get-to-the-point style to his writing.
He converted one of his books to video and audio, INSPIRATION FOR TEENS, as a character
development program for middle and high school students.
All based on America's most catastrophic man-made event, the Battle of Gettysburg.
He has written 6 other books, is an accomplished videographer, and has produced and narrated
4 audiobooks.
His first book, Why You're Already A Leader, uses known and unknown leaders at Gettysburg to
prove, with 88 short stories, that leadership is in your DNA.
This is the book that inspired its adaptation for the teen audience, with the author's latest book,
INSPIRATION FOR TEENS, which the author has converted to video and audio as a character
and leadership development program.
His second book, How To Win The College Game, reveals his many secrets to get into and to
afford college.
His third book, Gettysburg Lessons in the Digital Age, answers one question: "How can I benefit
from what this person did at Gettysburg?" Gettysburg leadership is a metaphor for who and what
we are.
Hemphill's fourth book, Planning For College, says one reviewer, is "endearing and hilarious."
His 5th book, YOU'RE AWESOME!, is an ebook of bite-size lessons for teens, with colorful
graphics and a lesson on each of 52 pages. Optional videos come free with your purchase.
He is the Chairman of American Education Defenders, Inc., a non-profit whose purpose is to

Praise for Paul Lloyd Hemphill's book:
“Hemphill's writing style is lucid and succinct, and the rapid fire, short-bursts of information, examples, and applications can be read in small doses to allow the reader to dwell on each story and find practical self-applications. The book can be read in daily journal format, with one or two stories at a time to challenge the reader to excel and emulate the example.”
Scott Mingus, Sr., Scientist and Civil War Author
“A refreshingly positive human approach to a topic often inundated with scientific inquiry. Thanks for putting ‘people’ back into Leadership!”
Capt Edward J. Rogers, Command Leadership School, Naval War College, Newport, RI
“I find the style very simple, easy to read and enjoyable. I find the ‘lessons’ to be right on target.”
Richard White, Exec VP, Bayer Corporation
“This is a really interesting and useful book. The author takes one of the most fascinating chapters in U.S. history, the battle of Gettysburg, and draws important insights for today’s business managers and employees. While military and civilian technologies have changed dramatically, human nature hasn’t."
Nick Perna, Economist & frequent guest on PBS’s The News Hour
“...useful lessons about addressing a variety of problems and challenges in life...excellent examples and explained well...will assist the general layperson’s appreciation of the battle.”
Gary Gallagher, Civil War historian, University of Virginia
“Paul Lloyd Hemphill has done a great job in showing that there is a spark of greatness in each of us. Why You’re Already A Leader shows a lot of sparks and the enormous influence that each of those sparks, in action, can have.”
Brace E. Barber, Author of No Excuse Leadership
“...the reader gets a fabulous history lesson while being inspired. In addition to the mainstream appeal of this book, I think every history class should use this book as a tool to teach about this important battle.”
Cynthia Kersey, Author of “Unstoppable” and motivational speaker
“Overall I found it interesting and very readable. I liked the use of short vignettes that could easily be read by a busy manager as part of a continuing professional/personal development program.”
Major Benjamin Webb, Instructor at West Point
“...extremely interesting... Putting information into such a concise form is really an art form. I can write anything in 4,000 words. Doing it in 400 takes incredible skill.”
Edward Steers, Author and Lincoln scholar
“This book is like a massage for the soul.
