We partner to create clear agreements, processes, plans, and goals. Your topics are explored through a process to evoke awareness and reflective inquiry with a development focus. Using this model in a forward direction creates the results you want. Using in a reverse direction allows reflection and exploration. The most effective sustainable change is from the „inside“ vantage point. We explore your beliefs and interpretations, create and set goals, and design action. As obstacles and challenges are explored, practices for sustained behavioral changes and solutions that work are built. Professional coaching explicitly targets maximizing potential and transformational change.

Here’s How I Can Help

Creating a safe environment where everyone is valued, understood, respected and heard
Changing workplace climate by building relationships
Developing your team by giving them opportunities to grow and serve
Leading through crisis
Working with conflict
Being comfortable with uncertainty and the unknown

I use a strength-based approach, insight-based learning, and a discovery-based process, integrating mindfulness-based practices. My approach is heart-centered and integrative. It focuses on the present, develops attention and potential, and brings conscious choice to life situations.

About Me
About myself & my experience

I am a personal and executive coach based in Superior, Colorado, and I see clients in Zürich, Switzerland. My passion lies in working with people experiencing life challenges and who are ready to create fundamental shifts in how they think, feel, and behave in relation to themselves, others, and the world. My core mission is to support individuals in connecting with the many facets of their inner and outer being, thriving, and making a significant and sustainable difference in their and others’ lives, contributing to building a flourishing society. My background and experience in individual, executive, and leadership coaching, counseling, and mentoring in international settings have strengthened my vision to help executives and leaders use their internal resources and potential to create healthy change. This enables leaders to create a coaching culture with teams, ultimately impacting their organization. I understand the internal leadership challenges, keeping teams inspired and motivated, relational complexities, agility with guiding change, communication challenges, and keeping it human.

My coaching method & approach

Patricia’s core mission is to support individuals to connect with the many facets of their inner and outer being, to thrive and to make a significant and sustainable difference in their own lives, contributing to building a flourishing society. Patricia’s coaching is grounded in modern neuroscience and positive psychology, using a mindfulness-based, integrative, heart-centered approach. She is certified to administer and interpret the self- and 360-versions of the Social + Emotional Intelligence Profile (SEIP)®.

I had a friend recommend doing this. And it was an excellent choice at the time of my life. Patricia was an amazing down to earth coach that had great helpful things to add to learning with additional ways to succeed with success. She was a great listener and alway had great tactics with different areas that came up with transitions of moving to another country, dealing with different cultures, different people, and categorizing self care time. Amazing individual and I would recommend her to anyone else.
