We asked Patrick to speak at our Plant Managers conference in fall of 2020. The topic was ‘Resilient Leadership in Turbulent Times’. We had to settle for a virtual conference due to the pandemic. I was nervous and concerned that a two-hour Team’s meeting just wasn’t going to cut it. Boy, was I wrong.  Patrick did a fantastic job adeptly instigating dialogue and participation. His message really resonated with our audience of nearly 200 managers. He gave us practical tips on, not only how to lead our employees during this pandemic, but on how we can use these tools to manage other common problems in the workplace. He effectively drew parallels with successes and failures throughout his military career and civilian life.

Whether it was a one-hour webinar for about 250 leaders and aspiring leaders or a keynote session for 150 plant managers and corporate leaders, his material was on target and left us uplifted and challenged. His ability to connect, even virtually over the internet, kept everyone highly engaged. His experiences in the military and the ability to translate those to relatable and relevant business leadership principles worked really well with our audiences. And he’s great to work with. We definitely recommend Patrick; great job!
