EXECUTIVE COACHING
A MESSAGE FROM PATRICIA
“People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, but People will never forget how you made them feel" - Maya Angelou
Over the years, I have been privileged to work with many talented and dynamic clients in Tech and other corporations in the U.S. and globally. The current and unprecedented time of COVID has literally created the fusion between work and life and it has disrupted the way in which employees collaborate and communicate. The new situation requires a unique coaching approach to support leaders and employees as they engage and build relationships working together in a virtual reality.
As an executive coach, I have an adaptive coaching style with a structured and unstructured approach cognizant to the ever-changing needs of my clients. It is an honor to be a coach supporting them as they manage family and work relationships while tackling their professional and leadership challenges and opportunities to achieve their business goals and maintain high performing teams and vibrant cultures.
My coaching methods help my clients to embed the foundational skills and tools of emotional intelligence, especially emotional fortitude, compassionate leadership, influencing, communication blending personal skills with leadership capabilities to address what we need as human beings: experiencing fulfilling work, psychological safety, authenticity, and having a sense of inclusion and belonging that allow my clients to thrive particularly during these challenging times.
Emilie Choi, Corporate Development, President and COO, Coinbase
"Patricia is an excellent executive coach and leadership development consultant. She gathers and communicates effective feedback, eliciting great trust from all those involved in her process. Patricia is also particularly effective at establishing realistic, action-oriented plans to help get individuals on the right path to their goals. I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking an executive coach."
Brendan Browne, Director of Global Talent Acquisition, LinkedIn
"Patricia Patton is an expert in organizational development, leadership, and executive coaching. She has worked extensively with executives; leaders and managers helping them find solutions to their people and workplace challenges as well as building momentum. Whether coaching a leader to help them keep up with hyper-growth and rapid scaling or taking a very successful leader to the next level, Patricia brings a keen strategic mindset and most importantly, an ability to connect with leaders at a human level to truly unlock their full potential. I have looked to her to run off-sites for my organization, for coaching for newly hired sr. execs hired on to LI's exec leadership team and for continual strategic people advice. She is top notch, honest and a fantastic go-to resource particularly as companies are rapidly growing."
Mike Gamson, Senior Vice President, Global Sales Organization, LinkedIn (Now CEO Relativity)
"Patricia worked with my team over a period of several years and provided very valuable services for us. She was very comprehensive in her approach and I valued her input greatly. I would happily recommend her."
Johanna Jackman, Director, HR, LinkedIn (Now Chief People Officer – Airtable)
"I've had the pleasure of leveraging Patricia's services for the past year and have been beyond delighted with the results. Patricia has the highest degree of client engagement and delivers the 'sweet spot'. From the outset she seeks to understand the systemic issues and not just the myopic reason for engagement. She is a superb facilitator and co-active coach! Patricia is the consummate professional who carries herself with an enchanting combination of grace, integrity, and humor."
Brian Frank, Vice-President, Global Sales Operations, LinkedIn (Now Chief Operating Officer at Cameo)
"I was fortunate to have an opportunity to work with Patricia Patton as an Executive Coach at LinkedIn in 2012. Patricia is an incredible, inspirational blend of positive energy, vast experience, and superb coaching expertise. Patricia was instrumental in helping me, and LinkedIn, develop our culture and values based leadership philosophy, as well as assisting me to identify blind spots and remedial opportunities. I highly recommend Patricia. Please feel free to reach out to me directly via LinkedIn should you have any questions about Patricia, as I would be delighted to answer them."
Hani Durzy, Director, Corporate Communications, LinkedIn (Now VP Communications at Move, Inc.)
"Patricia is one of the most thoughtful and effective leadership coaches I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She was instrumental in helping me prepare for the most significant leadership challenge of my professional life."
Mark Southall, Partner, Gravitas Partnership
"When I was Head of Human Resources for Sara Lee Asia Pacific, Patricia Patton masterminded and led a programme of Teambuilding workshops for our Regional Management Team. This was a multi-nationality and mixed-gender group of some thirty experienced managers operating across Asia. The group contained successful individuals, but was disunited and dysfunctionally ‘’political’’. It is fair to say that the majority of the participants, prior to the workshops, felt cynical, and even negative, about their purpose and likely outcome. Patricia succeeded in engendering a phenomenal level of enthusiasm during and after the workshops, along with a commitment to a series of clear follow-up actions. The factor that amazed and motivated most of the participants was the level of on-going unity and professional closeness exhibited within the team well after the programme’s conclusion. Patricia’s experience, high-level professionalism and sensitivity were clear to all involved."
Jacki Leonard, Sr. Manager, Recruiting Central Services, LinkedIn (Now Head of TA Workday)
"I had the honor of working with Patricia on several projects over the past year. Patricia is the ultimate professional. She is a true leader and expert in coaching and leadership development. I've learned a lot from Patricia and found her style to be one that is engaging, direct and above all else, fun. She has a keen sense of getting to the root cause of things very quickly and allowing the teams she is working with to see the opportunity in front of them. I cannot say enough about Patricia talents and coaching abilities. She is extremely skilled in her profession."
Anne Manhart, Senior Leader, HR Business Partner, Northam Google Cloud
"Patricia brings grace and incredible insights with a drive for results to all aspects of her professional engagements. She has been working with my internal leadership clients for the past 6 months and has helped them to move the needle both individually and together. She understands the value of relationships and is focused on delivering short term impact with long term results for the business."
Brett Wallace, Sales, LinkedIn
"I have had the privilege of working closely with Patricia for the last 10 months at LinkedIn. Patricia is an outstanding leadership and executive coach. She fully understands how organizations behave and is able to provide specific, actionable insights to help leaders operate at peak performance. She provided me with relevant advice as I transitioned into the organization and prioritized what to focus on. In addition, she has helped my leadership team improve their ability to coach by providing a simple framework. If you're looking to develop your top leaders and their key staff, hire Patricia if you can get her. If you're looking for an executive coach to take your game to the next level, consider yourself extremely lucky to work with her."
Aileen Tan, Vice President HR, National University of Singapore
"Patricia and I worked together when I was at Cisco. She has been an absolute joy to work with. Not only did she understand our needs but she did it in her own personable way and so elegantly. She's a great facilitator who could get the most out of our group. In addition Pat worked with us to get to a solution that enabled us to create a sustainable coaching culture in the company. She is able to handle the toughest executive coaching assignments and could be trusted upon to deliver the results in a way that show cases her ability and integrity. I would highly recommend Pat and her valuable insights and it helped that she also understood the Asian context having lived in Singapore and other countries for a number of years."
