MPatrick Coaching

Business coaching focuses primarily on small businesses. Oftentimes, entrepreneurs will start a business without fully understanding the basic building blocks. Pat works directly with these individuals to develop a strategic plan, develop metrics and address other business issues. In addition, he can help companies work
through personnel issues stemming from organizational change.

The goal of business coaching is to offer tools to make your business more effective with less time and energy spent. Business coaching helps get your business running at peak performance while keeping your business skills sharp.

The business coaching relationship is straight-forward and establishes a foundation for building your success. As an experienced leader, Pat will challenge you in sensible ways designed to improve your operational efficiency and bottom-line results.

To achieve new levels of success, you must routinely re-focus your efforts. You must develop a clear vision of where you want to go, maximize what you do best, keep learning and to delegate effectively.

As your business coach, Pat helps you improve your focus, motivation and management to bring out the best in your business efforts. From transformation and prioritization to growth strategy and organizational behavior, Pat knows what it takes to make you and your business a winner.

Executive coaching is targeted at senior management within an organization, as well as emerging stars. The goal is to help these already successful individuals look beyond day-to-day challenges and work more strategically. In addition, executive coaching can help business leaders address issues around:

●    Organizational change
●    Management responsibility
●    Vision- and goal-setting
●    Colleague perception
●    Team building
●    Ethics
●    Ongoing professional and personal development

Coaching is effective for executives who know where they want to go but are not sure how to get there. Perhaps, in spite of your outstanding track record, you aspire to gain additional personal or professional skills needed to drive your organization to higher levels of success.

Executive coaching can be particularly effective in times of change, such as promotions, stretch assignments and other new challenges. While you may be confident in your abilities to take on new tasks, Pat can serve as an independent sounding board for achieving even higher performance, especially if close confidants are now reporting to you. Furthermore, he can help you sharpen skills that you have not needed to rely on in the past, but are now required in a new role.

As your executive coach, Pat helps develop new ways to attack “old problems”--particularly when efforts to change yourself, your team or your company have led to frustration or burnout. Pat is the outside expert to help you get to the root cause and make fundamental changes.

How does Pat’s coaching work?
The base coaching is three 30- to 45-minute sessions per month. We take off the fourth week. The sessions can be either by phone, at my office or at your office – whichever you prefer. Phone charges are included in your coaching fee, no matter where you are located in the world. These coaching session are supplemented by email coaching at no additional cost, as well as “power coaching calls” (10 minutes or less) in the interim, as needed. You take on as much “homework” as you like, as most of your learning and growth occurs between calls.

How long will we work together?
We typically start with a 3-6 month period. I only ask clients to stay as long as they enjoy the coaching and are getting continuous value from the sessions. Programs can range from three to twelve months, or even longer.

What will Pat’s coaching provide?
This is different for every client. Most often I hear words such as: accountability, direction, inspiration, challenge, focus, sounding board and support. The bottom line is that we will target a specific result that will make a difference in your career or company.

What are Pat’s specialties?
I most enjoy working with people going through a career transition, small business owners looking for specific leadership and business coaching and executives needing a non-partial sounding board and/or leadership coaching.

What if you decide not to finish the term?
If at any point during the coaching you are not receiving value, we will both know it. You may cease the coaching at the end of any monthly cycle. You will receive a full refund for the unused portion and then be charged the normal monthly rate for the time used.

Most people will change jobs a dozen times in their career. Helping individuals through these transitions is a primary focus of career coaching. Career coaching is useful for a variety of situations.

A new college graduate is struggling to figure out what career they want to pursue. We can help this person understand their passions and create a game plan to land that desired position.
A person is stuck in a job they don’t like or has lost their upward mobility. They need help understanding and leveraging their options. Again, we work with individuals to focus on their passions leading to new career opportunities.
Someone has been laid off by their employer and does not know where to go from here. We can help that person evaluate their passions and possibilities in
order to create a positive plan for the future.

Career coaching is an ongoing relationship that focuses on you taking action toward the achievement of your career goal. This specific coaching process helps you both define and achieve career goals more quickly with greater direction.

As your career coach, Pat helps you discover, clarify and align goals, build your plan towards achievement and remain accountable to the process.

With Pat’s coaching, you can turn an ordinary job or burnout situation into small, focused steps that help you move forward quickly--and wake up fresh each morning excited to start your work day.
