Testimonials

“My leadership style is to take in points of view from all stakeholders, perspectives and opinions. While this is inclusive and supportive, it takes a toll on my ability to cut through, make decisions and then feel confident about the decisions I make. The experience of coaching for me, amongst other benefits, has enabled moments of clarity to back myself, confront big decisions with confidence and singular purpose, which in turn is benefiting the team and their work.
I appreciate Patrick’s approach of personability and connection as the first steps of creating an effective coaching process. Then, being placed in the expert seat throughout conversations has been a highly empowering experience.

“

...what I like about the impact that coaching has had on my life, is this new sense of agency over my own personal struggles.
I like the fact that it just feels like a conversation between two people over coffee.

As a millennial, I would recommend you to other millennials, because I think that we as a generation like to find a way to “hack” things. We want to find a shortcut or way to do things ourselves, and I think that coaching is really great for that. It suits millennial’s ideas of innovation and efficiency that we crave.

““One of the things I most admire about Patrick is that he is a person of high integrity and principle, and he makes no apologies for it. Patrick has been coaching and mentoring colleagues for as long as I have known him. Through his relatable and personable approach, Patrick has the innate ability to bring out the best in others, and for others to see the best in themselves””

““Since working with Patrick, my mindset towards the way I conduct my business and how I think about my business has changed completely. Patrick has a great way of drawing out the answers from you, making you challenge yourself and allowing you to feel a great deal of satisfaction when you have solved a particular issue. I would recommend Patrick to anyone who wants to be better as a person and at what they do””

““I was able to understand and become more clear about my role as a leader and the important things which I need to improve on. I did 12 years of Academic Qualification and had an Engineering Degree. But nobody guided me or coached me about Leadership in schools and colleges.

I wish I could have got this chance earlier in my life. Anyway, it is never too late.””

“Patrick has a relaxed and supportive coaching style yet can help you to challenge yourself to take the steps you need to grow. ”

““Patrick helped me get clear on what was truly important to me. He created a wonderfully productive working space that made it possible for me to achieve progress where I had been struggling. Patrick is a wonderful coach and I recommend him without reserve.””

““Patrick has an open and honest style. He is able to inject humour when needed. Patrick listens with the intent to understand what it was I needed from each session. Usually, it was to act as a sounding board and he did that perfectly, which meant that he was there for me as the client, not for him as the coach. I started with a particular objective at the beginning of the coaching and through this coaching, I realised that it’s ok to change direction. The result of Patrick’s coaching enabled me to realise where I need to be at this point in time””

“Patrick paid close attention to my energy and ensured that the goals and actions I set for myself were achievable within the resources I had available to me. This meant that every session led to concrete actions, which have themselves resulted in highly sustainable outcomes. Being coached by Patrick taught me that seemingly small steps or ‘simple’ actions can lead to really significant outcomes, not all of which are foreseeable. A great reminder that ‘a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ Coaching with Patrick helped me to reorient how I think and talk about what my business is all about and what I have to offer. As a result, my business offer is more flexible, I secured an important client on terms that I am really happy with and I am more optimistic about my future.

“Made a huge life decision I had been struggling with. Was able to articulate how I wanted to show up in this next phase of my life. From session one feeling a bit (actually, a lot) drained and bogged down - to session 6 leaving with abundant energy for my next phase!”
