What Clients Say
The best measure of coaching is not what happens in the room. It is what happens after.
“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. Coaching 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. Being placed in the expert seat throughout conversations has been a highly empowering experience.””
“After 20 years in my professional career and life, I had reached a point of realisation that there were a number of unhelpful thought processes and approaches I was taking that were not serving me and were holding me back from achieving a level of confidence and effectiveness that had eluded me.
Through a unit of my MBA called Leading Self and Leading Others, my lecturer suggested that I would benefit from leadership coaching and introduced me to Pat.
Working with Pat I discovered that confidence is an outcome, and over the past 12 months, that discovery — along with Pat’s coaching along the way — has helped me reach new heights in my career and become what I can only describe as a more effective and confident version of myself.
Mission accomplished.
I highly recommend reaching out to Pat to see how his wisdom and coaching can help you as well.”
“he first few years in my role were incredibly hard, complex, and stressful. I decided to try coaching to see if an outside perspective would help me navigate those challenges. Meeting Patrick was a turning point.
When you are in a high-stress position, having someone ask the right questions and help you adjust your thinking is invaluable. Patrick has lived through many of the challenges I faced — being able to draw on that firsthand experience has been a game changer.
What became clear was that much of the stress I felt was actually self-imposed. Working with Patrick helped me develop specific approaches to reframe my thinking and manage that stress more effectively. Beyond the day-to-day, Patrick has been a genuine thinking partner — helping me make better choices both at work and in my personal goals.
To anyone considering coaching — just try it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I have already recommended Patrick to all my peers — not just those struggling with stress, but high performers who want to see just how much more they can accomplish”
“Working with Patrick has reshaped my understanding of what effective leadership truly looks like. Rather than prescribing solutions, he consistently guides me to the right answers through thoughtful, well-placed questions, which has strengthened my confidence as a leader. His coaching style makes the process highly engaging and genuinely rewarding.”
“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 process I realised that it’s okay to change direction. The result enabled me to realise where I need to be at this point in time”
“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.”
“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.
Coaching with Patrick helped me to reorient how I think and talk about what my business is all about. 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 six leaving with abundant energy for my next phase”
“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.”
“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. 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.”
“What I like about the impact that coaching has had on my life is this new sense of agency over my own personal struggles. It just feels like a conversation between two people over coffee. As a millennial, I would recommend coaching to others in my generation — it suits our ideas of innovation and efficiency.”
