I’ve worked with Pat for years. Whether it was a script problem, prepping for an important meeting, setting priorities, or simply talking me down from a creative precipice or crisis, he has always been able to say the perfect thing, or give the perfect advice — in a simple, wise, practical and succinct way that cuts through all my b.s.  We talk almost every day.

The creative process, while unique to every artist, shares some universals: routine, discipline, production, and bold risk-taking to highlight a few.  Sometimes, in fact with some frequency, the creator can be his/her own worst enemy…stumbling over hurdles they have thrown in their own way.  Pat Bonavitacola has a keen understanding of creativity, generally and specifically.  Let the maestro open your imagination and polish your techniques.  Whether it’s a fresh horizon line or reforming your stage-fright into an asset, Pat has coached marquee talent as well as emerging new voices.  His customary economy of expression will open up even the most reluctant or stubborn creative spirits.  Having worked with Pat for over 30 years, I hope I may be allowed to recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation.

I have been working on a story for several years and had hit a major creative roadblock. It’s been a personal passion project for me, but I found that I was going in circles and not making any real progress. I had lost confidence and was floundering in a sea of questions. I reached out to Pat because I had heard of him and was impressed by his approach.

Pat was incredibly helpful. He worked with me to untangle the knot that I had created giving me practical tools to help me work through roadblocks and push my thinking along. I highly recommend Pat for anyone looking to improve their creative work and process.  He really thought about my personal process. His approach is thoughtful, objective and very effective. I’m now back in the flow with my project and have continued to work with him on several different projects – both personal and professional.
