Speaking
Changing people, perceptions and performance!
Pat keeps her audiences grinning as they recognize themselves in her stories gleaned from over twenty-five years as a Strategic Business Coach and Board Facilitator to privately held businesses, as well as a Human Resources advisor and CEO.
Pat believes an organization has the potential “to become irresistible” to top performers when they are willing to “play the sleuth” to examine who they are, how they communicate and how they lead.
“The Irresistible Leader…creating followers in a changing world.”
Sharing concepts and stories that invite audiences to take a playful look at themselves, Pat translates “how to become irresistible” into concrete steps that change people, perceptions and performance.
“Top Performers…a Game of Sleuth or Consequences.”
Pat’s longtime mentor and personal coach is Frank Maguire, a Senior Founding Executive of FEDEX. Fred Smith, CEO, credits Frank with developing the company culture which resulted in Fortune Magazine naming FEDEX “The Top Corporation of the Decade“.
“The Generational Puzzle…making the pieces fit.”
Frank is a featured keynote speaker and recently completed a Leadership Speaker Series touring the globe with Rudy Guliani and Jack Welch. Gaining insight from his experiences and philosophies, Pat has incorporated key qualities and values into her presentation that demonstrate why certain leaders are “simply irresistible”.
