What our customers are saying ...

"Pat’s training style has an appropriate balance of accepting and challenging individuals and their beliefs in a way that facilitates learning. Within a month of working with Pat, our team began to integrate the concepts into their behavior. I noticed definite improvements in several areas, especially a 45% improvement in communication amongst staff.

We are a not-for-profit and Pat’s experience in Human and Social Services is invaluable to the work she does. Her understanding of the demands on staff and its nature helped staff quickly build trust in her as a trainer.

Additionally, our team has 75% more insight into staff work styles than ever before. We can now develop more appropriate strategies to working with the diversity of staff in our organization. I was so impressed by our results that I have hired Pat again.

As a Director, I have found Pat’s perspective and knowledge have supported my learning as well. I have appreciated her insights and suggestions as they present opportunities for me to see things from a different perspective, develop alternative strategies and challenge my own thinking."

"After working with Pat, I noticed definite improvements in communication areas. Within a few days, our team stopped thinking only one way and started adapting to work better with others. I especially noticed a 33% improvement in how we treated one another. Our team can finally understand the other team members’ behavior and thinking for the first time in years. Also, our team members feel safer to express their ideas and opinions.

Our team is 50% more efficient than before. We can now approach problems with different eyes. Our employees are 75% more cooperative with this new approach and are now able to increase their comfort level. We have worked with Pat for the last two years and look forward to hiring her again. "

"Getting along better and making our work environment more pleasant was much easier than expected, once we learned what each other needed. Daily communication in our high-pressure environment has improved markedly.

I would recommend working with Pat to any team leader who wants to improve relationships and communication among their team. The assessments and debriefings were enjoyable and easy to use. Pat's interactions with our employees were 100 percent positive and her program is top-notch. We were impressed at every step of the process. "

"Pat Beaugard brings a wealth of skills and experience to her coaching practice. I have referred individuals as well as groups to her in order for them to take the DISC assessment.

After the assessments were administered, Pat conducted a thorough debriefing with each client. I have witnessed some significant transformation within work groups as the individuals involved received specific feedback from the assessments. The information from the assessments allowed individuals to reflect on their behavior and make specific changes that allowed the work group to become more effective at carrying out their specific tasks.

Pat is a warm, dedicated professional who is able to present her clients with extremely useful feedback in a manner that can be heard and then put to use. I highly recommend both the assessments Pat administers as well as Pat herself as a very effective Executive Coach."

- Susan Schwarz; Executive Coach
"Within one day of completing the Team Building workshop with Pat, I saw an immediate improvement in communication skills. Learning the different communication styles helped us understand each other better and taught us to respect each other’s differences. I was so impressed by the work we accomplished that I have hired Pat again."

- Debbie Allen, Wastewater Treatment Supervisor
"Pat introduced me to a new way to consider my career and growth as a professional that builds on my strengths and incorporates what is most important to me. Instead of leaving my personal life at the door of my office, as I’ve been expected to do for much of my career, she encouraged me to explore what matters to me personally as a compass for my professional life.

Through a series of assessments, one-on-one conversations and a practical plan for moving myself from where I was to where I wanted to be, I transitioned my dream from wishful thinking into every day life. She’s proven to me that the process works. Once I was able to articulate what I wanted, she had the experience and sensitivity to adapt those steps to meet my needs.

Transitioning a dream into reality is extremely difficult, but Pat has been there every step of the way. I feel like I have my own personal mentor to help guide me through the rough spots, celebrate my successes and capitalize on my learning to continue to achieve the professional goals I’ve set.

After a 10-year career in marketing, communications and public relations, I am now writing for consumer magazines, trade publications, an alternative arts/entertainment/news weekly paper and various businesses."

"I have known Pat Beaugard for over six years and have observed and participated in her successful coaching practice. I have worked with her in a variety of settings and have seen that she is consistent, professional and dependable.

I am always impressed at how Pat keeps her perspective fresh and her skills sharp with ongoing professional development, peer group support, and trying new things. Because of this, she brings an assortment of assessment tools and various approaches to use with her clients. She is compassionate and insightful, appropriately assessing the needs of the individual or group she is working with. Whether it is coaching the development of a company, career transition, or topic specific trainings, she always determines the essence of the situation and addresses it with appropriate tools, exercises and resources.

When working with teams, Pat uses practical useful information and exercises to help bridge the gap of differences and move work groups into increased performance. She is an informative teacher and presenter.

Pat has a strong background well suited for coaching and therefore brings a lot to the table, no matter where the table is located! I have worked with her as a client, as a community leader, and as an employer and would do so again without reservation."
