Coaching and Mentoring

One-to-one coaching for chairs, baord members, CEOs and women leaders. I ask the questions, and you work out your own answers. Together, we work to ensure that you not only identify but also reach your personal and organisational goals effectively.

Strategy and Strategic Planning

Your constitution sets out why you exist. Your strategy is the set of choices about where you’ll focus and how you’ll make the biggest difference. Your strategic plan turns those choices into actions. I ensure all three align to ensure outcomes for the community you serve.

Governance Problem Solving

Something isn’t working at board level and you can’t name it. Maybe information isn’t reaching the board, roles between the board and staff are blurred, or compliance has become box-ticking. I help you find the real issue and agree what to do about it.

Why me?

  • 30-year career, 15 in governance - a journey to here!

  • Registered Nurse since 1995, so I think in outcomes.

  • CMInstD - credible and current.

  • Undertaking a PhD on board governance and outcomes in youth mental health services - academic thinking to underpin my approach.

“Pat is great to work with, bringing a new perspective to the way we approached emerging topics and a diversity of thought on solutions. Pat is a lateral thinker who possesses the ability to challenge in the face of opposite views. I personally respected her support in the People and Capability subcommittee and her personal experience from founding a health organisation.”

“Highly Recommend!  Pat draws from a deep well of knowledge grounded in the Not for Profit and health sectors.

She has energy, enthusiasm and empathy for her mentees, and is wholly present in sessions. She is a quick thinker who asks the big questions to get you to where you need to be.  Pat arrives with a smile and leaves with care and consideration, having sparked so many ideas and ways forward.”
