New Perspectives
for Old Predicaments

Pat Ward, MS
Executive Coach

My approach to leadership development has two parts: personal and organizational. Personal development focuses on understanding your mindset, temperament and cognitive biases. The organizational focus deals with collaboration, culture, and the tension between stability and innovation.

Versatile Leaders, Extraordinary Results

  • Relational Intelligence

    Build cognitive empathy using tools like the Birkman Relational Management Method, trusted by companies like Google, Mailchimp, and Salesforce. You’ll gain insights into how you see the world—and how others see it differently.

  • Appetite for Feedback

    Develop the habit of challenging your own perspective and adapting your behavior in response to both internal insights and external feedback. Practice deep listening to question assumptions about yourself and others.

  • Cognitive Flexibility

    Expand your mindset to view situations from multiple perspectives, shift your thinking, and reduce cognitive bias by practicing double-loop learning—a powerful approach to learning from experience.

  • Career Lifecycle

    Take control of your professional growth by aligning your development with emerging career opportunities. Learn to navigate career transitions with confidence, even when they reveal areas of vulnerability.
