“Sometimes change is glacial! That is, big, cold and slow!

But Patty, your coaching is helping. I’ll  still be grateful when I’m seventy!"


From a great client

What qualifies me to help you to make big changes?


Whether I'm working with a team, a company, an individual or couple; whether it's in my office, at your location or at an off-site retreat, workshop or adventure, my approach is to coach intuitively, optimistically and honestly, using a combination of factors:

1. A clear understanding of how lasting positive change happens with individuals and organizations,
2. Strengths-based theories of psychology, communication, talent management and leadership,
3. My life experience and training,
4. And of course the agenda and performance goals brought by each of my clients.

I tend to go with my natural curiosity and intuition as I get started with clients, helping each one to identify his or her core values, gifts, passions and stuck places. Maybe we enlist the wisdom and feedback of colleagues and friends. Then, together we create clear goals and get to work on them. As I listen to them, my clients are among my best teachers.

My goal is to help each individual or organization to demystify what it means to create both clear direction and success, relationally and professionally.

To discuss how this could work in your life or organization, call or e-mail me at:

Etcetera . . .

Through twenty-five years of leadership experience--as both a leader and as a coach of leaders--I've trained and mentored several thousand individuals and their groups toward more effective performance and meaning.

As one of 1,700 Coaches Credentialed Internationally by the International Coach Federation, my practice takes me to amazing teams, individuals and large audiences that are ready to deepen their experience of and contribution to life. In addition to coaching and consulting, I have continued my long-standing work as a pastoral counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Seattle area.

Before launching this work in 1993, I served in the executive leadership of an international university ministry. For twenty years I traveled the world speaking, teaching and consulting with what I call "the most powerful one percent" of the world's population--the university students who become the leaders of each new generation. My faith still deeply informs my work.

I've received master's degrees in Applied Behavioral Science, and in Theology, and am a Clinical Member of the The American Association for Marriage and Familiy Therapy and a Professional Certified Coach, credentialed by the International Coach Federation.

And, I make my home in Seattle where I live, love, work and play in a great life with my partner Kari (an emergency veterinarian), and thus, with a revolving assortment of creatures.

In addition to my time spent coaching, consulting and counseling, I've been coached myself as a competitive rower and past president of Seattle's Interlochen Rowing Club
