“On several occasions, I have hired Patrick to present to and develop my leaders. He brings the perfect mixture of expertise, humor, storytelling, and actionable ideas. Leaders love working with and learning from him.”
“Patrick and I were joint mentors for about 20 first year students at Vanderbilt [University]. One of the things that made our group dynamic was that Patrick always had this really approachable style. From day one, he was sharing some very personal and intimate stories about his life, which created a lot of trust in our group and made everyone really open to sharing things about themselves. So that really stuck with me, and made me prioritize being genuine over being impressive. Patrick changed my leadership story by inspiring me to emulate that really approachable style that he has; and always bring my most authentic self to mentorship.”
