Organizations that offer training alone experience a 22% increase in productivity,
but when combined with coaching that figure rises to 88%

Representative Coaching Engagements

I work with leaders who want to develop their leadership and business communications skills, improve their presentation and verbal communications, enhance their credibility, and deepen their connections with the audiences:

• • Trained and coached over 20 Leaders at a $13 Billion Fortune 500 company, including C-Suite Leaders (CEO, CFO, COO), Executive Vice-Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, and their Teams. For the past 15 years, Patrick has helped their leaders identify and adapt their leadership styles (DISC), improve communication, increase productivity, and boost the overall performance of their direct reports. The project included conducting 360-degree Interviews, using DiSC assessment to identify and create outcomes, and assisting coachees in developing and implementing strategies to achieve results.

• •  Coached a Vice President of Sales and their Team for a $290B Fortune 100 company. Over six years, Patrick worked with the VP and the team to effectively delegate and prepare for the semi-annual review meeting, clarify strengths, prioritize activities, fine-tune their message, better prepare to handle questions and answers and improve their delivery.

• •  Trained and coached Leadership Teams at several National Cancer Institute (NCI) Accredited Cancer Centers to help them prepare for their re-accreditation site visits. During these 4–6 month projects, assisted the leadership team in prioritizing and planning the upcoming site visit, providing training and one-on-one coaching to physicians and administrators to help them prepare and deliver their messages more concisely and compellingly, and providing tips on handling questions.

• •  Coached a Senior Managing Partner of a $59B professional services firm to help him with executive presence. We worked on adding more structure, creating a more dynamic opening and closing, reducing filler words, and engaging the audience more effectively.

• •  Coached a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in a healthcare organization on how to deliver your message more effectively for the camera – including eye contact, energy, and engaging the virtual audience.
