I have used Patrick’s skill as a Creativity Coach in the fields of acting, writing, and presentation as a retreat facilitator. In all the realms in which I work, I have found his expertise with creative process to be astute – actually fascinating. Each session I get surprising insights and clear direction on how to correct problems and deepen my skill. However, our work is not only around correcting problems and deepening skills. Patrick has a way of turning my mind around to see my work from a different perspective, but not in some way that makes it match his perspective. He turns it around so that I have deeper access to my own expression.
Not only is Pat knowledgeable and wise, he is a special kind of coach. He creates an atmosphere of welcome, fun, and respect. Pat teaches with kindness and humor, yet never avoiding what needs to be said. At the end of the day, as a student I am moved along in my learning, left wanting more.
