Individuals & Teams
Team Alignment Executive Coaching
Pat works with Guttman Development Strategies, the leading consulting firm in the area of senior team alignment. Team alignment structures roles, responsibilities, and goal oriented behavior in senior teams.
Alignment helps identify barriers and teaches a common set of skills. The result is faster response, better results and clear paths to profitability.
Private Equity
Assessing Risk
Pat assesses potential acquisitions for private equity clients, focusing on the dynamics between executives and their management teams.
Since many acquisition targets are family-owned that often means exploring family dynamics as well.
The central question is often readiness. Is the potential acquisition ready to synchronize its interests with the needs of the future enterprise?
Overseas
Assignments
About 20% to 40% of overseas assignments fail... the vast majority due to issues of personal readiness.
Pat and her team brief executives and their families before departure, coach them on assignment and help resolve issues of re-entry.
The result is a much higher success rate on assignments critical to success in the global business environment.
