ABOUT COACH PATRICK

I have a passion for helping people to live authentic, fulfilling and purposeful lives and to help them achieve more than they dreamed they could. I also have a passion for helping organizational leaders to work in sustainable ways that place value on people, the planet and profitability. Other passions of mine are spending time in nature and enjoying time with my wife and two daughters. I am fortunate to be living in Boulder, Colorado and working as a coach because it allows me to fulfill all of these passions.

I attended The Coaches Training Institute, widely recognized as one of the top coaching programs in the United States. I use the Co-Active Coaching Model, in which the focus is always on what the client wants and needs. In this model, the interplay between the coach and the client is the fundamental source of creativity and energy, which we harness to evoke change for the client. Magic happens when a fully engaged client partners with a talented coach and begins to “see” his or her life differently and make conscious choices, not from outside influences, but from a place of inner knowing. For more information on the Co-Active Coaching Model, please visit The Coaches Training Institute at www.thecoaches.com.

I also am certified to use the values assessments and Cultural Transformation Tools created by Richard Barrett and Associates. For more information on these tools and assessments, please visit the Richard Barrett and Associates website at http://www.valuescentre.com/business/cttoolsoverview.htm.

In addition to the training outlined above, I have 15 years of business experience with an understanding of both the operational and human resource aspects of business. Combine this with my strong interpersonal, leadership, and coaching skills and you get a coach that is profound, powerful and impactful!

About Black Horse

I was awakened in the midst of a moonlit night, by the deep, rhythmic exhalations of an enormous black horse standing next to me. It was clear he was waiting for me to wake up, and that he wanted me to accompany him somewhere. But how? His withers were above the top of my head, and his body was so enormous, that even if I managed to get on him, I could never hang on. As dawn broke, I noticed that my breathing and his were flowing in unison, and then it became clear that he and I were the same. Black Horse lives in me. He is the best of me – strength, power and courage tempered with gentleness and a willingness to harness those attributes to serve others.
