About Patrick
Before founding Highford House, Patrick gained experience as a young but recognized turn-around manager in the world of settled corporate plush and PowerPoint knights. At age 18, he was a professional soccer player until a knee injury forced him to quit.
Patrick believes that leadership is a moment-to-moment choice and not about title, tenure or position. Leadership is for everyone, everyday. It's how we should live our life.
Patrick gave strategic advice in boardrooms and worked as an advisor to CEO’s and managers of numerous Fortune 500 corporations, midsized businesses and governmental entities. He has been acknowledged for his strategic intellect, hands on approach and ingenious consulting and personal coaching endeavours.
As founder, exclusive coach and key-note speaker of Highford House, Patrick has worked with talent from the class-room to the boardroom, from movie stars to Olympic gold medallists, and from prisoners to renowned medical doctors.
Patrick’s exceptional ability to communicate clear solutions with humour, wit and razor-sharp insight is why he is in such high demand. Personally, he addresses over 100,000 men and women each year on high performance strategies for leadership, teamwork, change, and personal growth.
Patrick’s passion to serve is assured by his unique gift to not only connect from heart to heart but also intellectually with the individuals he has had the privilege to work with.
“Any great achievement requires leadership –and what Patrick shared has been priceless, whether managing our teams, negotiating contracts or governing a board meeting.”
