Leadership Bootcamp for Rising Leaders

In our strategic planning sessions, Pat's ability to identify themes and connectivity across disparate ideas was crucial in developing a platform to pursue our individual and collective goals.

Steve Palumbo

Associate, Science & Technology Studio Leader

In the Bootcamp, Pat led exercises that helped everyone identify their strengths and core needs. Because we named and discussed these issues, we became a more cohesive support network with deeper and stronger appreciation and understanding for each other. The value of the experience we shared together still resonates with me today.

Erin Miller

Director of Business Development

I learned more helpful information about my colleagues in one day than I have in four years of working together!

Leading Change in Your Organization

Pat’s thoughtfulness and unique ability to elicit the core issues – she really does listen, care, and challenge you. She opened my eyes and mind and helped me discover myself; she asks probing questions without being threatening; she can take disparate ideas and correlate them into categories that then become actionable.

Jocelyn Frederick, FAIA

Founder + Medical Design Planner

Pat thrives on interesting business challenges with complex personalities. She’s an astute listener, and has a knack for engaging everyone in the room in crafting their own solutions to the problem at hand. She never cuts people off, but she’s able to redirect and refocus a group that is veering off course. In sum, one of the best business consultants I have ever worked with.

Emergency First Aid for Troubled Project Teams

Pat immediately made us feel comfortable with her – she understood our challenges and issues with sensitivity and brought a seasoned perspective to us that we badly needed. More specifically, she helped us to apply specific management principles and techniques to addressing our business challenges. She helped us get back to basics, understand the challenges in an objective light, and guide us to effective decision making.

Navigating Your Professional Career

I found that the rapport built quickly and easily, and it was really easy to talk to Pat. As a professional who is mid-career and in a leadership position, there are precious few environments where you can safely talk about the things that are challenging in your career or in your performance. It was nice to have a talented, strategic, informed, smart professional to discuss those things with. Every conversation we had I learned something or multiple things. Pat provides a strategic, external perspective in a very supportive manner combined with specific, tangible learning, and skills and techniques.

Crystal Daugherty

Senior Director of Development

A coach is there to support you in gaining, or building on having trust in yourself, and confidence in your own abilities. Working with Pat gave me the time to focus on my own development, and to figure out how to talk to my manager and advocate effectively for a promotion. Now knowing my core needs, I have a tool to use to see why I am unhappy in job or how to talk to my boss about something important to me.

Marin Peterson

Associate Director Institutional Giving

I was dissatisfied at work, but it was hard to put my finger on why. I wanted to explore all my options as to where my career could go next. Pat was really open to understanding who I am and made me feel extremely comfortable and validated. Discovering my Core Needs was really, really helpful as a tool I can and do refer back to often. Pat is fun to work with. I enjoyed every single one of our conversations. I never felt drained; I always felt energized. And now I accepted a new job in a place that is absolutely the right fit for me.

Building Work Relationships That Work

I found my sessions with Pat to be enjoyable and eye opening. I explored facets of my professional self that I was previously unable to access. At the end of my sessions I left with a set of resources and notes that I will be able to look back on and reference for years to come. Because of her help, I now feel more confident in having difficult conversations with my colleagues and superiors. I also feel more prepared to ask for what I need and manage up.

Ari Brody
Advanced Admissions & Recruitment Associate

Over the course of working with Pat, I found confidence in putting together a set of short-term goals that would help me move towards my long-term goals. Pat helped me put language to how what I needed would benefit the rest of my team as well, so that I was well prepared for conversations with my manager. I was promoted to a new role and given the opportunity to take on new responsibilities and stretch projects that build on my own skill set while benefitting my whole team.

Julia Mayer
Director of Philanthropy

The benefit Pat’s brings to the overall team dynamic is utterly invaluable in helping people first to understand themselves and then helping them understand themselves in the context of the team dynamic. What emerges is a stronger, more confident team, and stronger, more confident, more empathetic individuals.

Erin Miller

Director of Business Development

Pat provides such great feedback! I just got out of a meeting with my manager. We had the conversation (that Pat and I spoke about) and it was a huge win for me. I felt very organized and I know I was succinct with my request.

Managing Job Interviews and Informational Interviews

Pat helped me with questions I could use during the interview process. I was able to develop kind of a standardized list, but she helped me tweak it and do my interview prep, especially for the really big interviews which was a huge help. I felt confident walking into every single one, like I was interviewing them, not just them interviewing me. And I think that’s where the success is.

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF WONDERING:

How can I advance my career so I’m happier and doing work that’s both fulfilling and financially rewarding?

You are a talented, hard-working professional, but you may feel stuck in a job you’ve outgrown. You want to move up in your organization, or else move on so you can advance your career. 

But trying to figure out next steps, identifying options feels so overwhelming.

Your thoughts run a million miles a minute – should I stay or should I leave?  If I stay, how do I get the promotion I deserve?

If I leave, where do I go? How do I find a place where I fit well and the work will challenge and excite me again?

All this leaves you weary, frustrated and without a strategy.  You can’t figure out where to start.

Are you feeling stuck in your career?

Often, when you’re stuck in your career, you feel alone, confused and believe you are the only one who feels this way. But you’re most definitely not alone. Almost everyone goes through this phase at one time or another.

And, like you, they often put up with things the way they are instead of working to discover a more productive direction for their career.

The good news is you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

In fact, you’ll be happier and get results sooner by working with me as your trusted advisor, helping you cut through the clutter in your thinking, focusing you on what matters, and helping devise a do-able action plan for landing your next great work opportunity.  

How can you advance your career so you are happier and doing work that is fulfilling and financially rewarding?

The Career Accelerator™ Program, is a proven successful approach to career advancement for professionals like yourself.

You have a unique combination of 7-12 core attributes essential to you being able to do your best work and feel great about what you do every day. We call them your Core Needs. We all have them. Can you name yours?

I use proprietary tools for helping you discover what your core needs are. I work with you to name them, understand what they mean to you, and how to get them met. Understanding yourself in this way this makes all the difference.

Once you know what your core needs are, and you know how to satisfy them, you’ll find yourself doing your best work, firing on all cylinders, and not burning out.

Knowing your core needs doesn’t change who you are; rather, it amplifies your strengths and aligns you with your core needs and values so you find a job and workplace where you can do your best work.

Ready to get unstuck and take some action? 

If you are tired of feeling stuck, and want to see if the Career Accelerator™ Program might be right for you,  I invite you to contact me.

I want to make it easy and comfortable for you.  You can start by scheduling a complimentary, low key, friendly, and confidential video call. 

I’ll give what we all most want: an engaging conversation about what you most want in your career and life right now. Thirty minutes, pressure-free, no charge, no obligation. We meet by video, so geographic location is not an issue.

Let’s see if we are a good fit for helping you get to your next best opportunity.  You decide.
