Patrick's Story

I came to coaching the way most people do — not looking for it.

I was the General Manager of a company that brought in an executive coach. I agreed to give it a go without any real expectation of what it would do for me. What happened next surprised me.

I discovered I was spending a significant amount of mental energy worrying about how people would interpret my emails — reading them back, rewriting them, delaying sending them. The thing is, I had no idea I was doing it. It only surfaced mid-conversation with my coach. One of those moments where you hear yourself say something and think — Where did that come from?

That's what coaching did. It found something I wasn't even looking for.

My coach encouraged me to explore coaching as a profession. I started my training, and it felt less like a career change and more like something that had always made sense.

I've always been drawn to people. I get on well with all ages, backgrounds and levels. I'm curious about why people think the way they do, how they get in their own way, and what happens when they stop. I like to learn, I like to have fun, and I like to get results.

I'm not chasing the material things in life. I'm chasing that quiet moment in a conversation — when something shifts, when a client goes still for just a second because something has landed for the first time.

That moment is why I do this.
