Endorsements from Student Affairs Professionals
Madlyn Stokely
Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, Hunter College
We thank you for being so generous of your time and knowledge. You made this the most professional all staff meeting we have had to date. In the afternoon session, staff used much from your presentation to help them frame their responses as to how they thought about the future of Student Affairs and how we as a college should focus our work to meet students’ needs. It was very exciting to see how they made those connections with using your material as they developed prototypes for growth and change.

Patrick played a key leadership role in helping us build a solid foundation for our Department and for the Division of Student Affairs. He is a rock solid pillar of the profession - influencing, supporting and encouraging us all to go further, extend our reach, and take risks. He has taught, motivated and inspired hundreds of emerging professionals; supervised, coached and challenged hundreds more new, mid-level and senior staff and he has helped us identify and draw out our inner strengths. His patient, persistent, no excuses approach was infectious and was critical for our leadership team to gel and is a forward thinker with an uncanny ability to read people and situations. His ability to convey a message, through conversation or a formal presentation is empowering and challenging.

Patrick is a knowledgeable and supportive retreat facilitator. He worked with our staff on the ins and outs of job searching from entry and mid-level. After the search workshop, we spent time on our department’s vision and values, carefully combing through our individual visions and values before melding them into a cohesive statement. Patrick took time answering questions and sharing his experiences. Everyone agreed it was an effective use of our time. I am so happy to recommend Patrick as a facilitator for any team retreat or workshop!
