It was such a pleasure working with Patti for professional coaching over the last six months. I didn’t know what to expect from coaching, as this was my first experience. Heading into it, I knew I wanted to gain skills that could up my professional game and better equip me as a leader in the workplace. Patti helped me achieve that and so much more. Patti is an excellent listener; her ability to hear what I’m saying and thoughtfully respond with helpful feedback is fantastic. Patti consistently provided insight that shifted my perspective. I was able to apply the ideas and tools that we developed together during the sessions to my work and home life. This resulted in better working relationships with my colleagues and even a healthier balance at home.

Patricia’s presence and deep questions helped me uncover/realize many of my internal processes and the why behind my goals. I really appreciated her holistic approach and the calm energy she brings to the coaching session. There is a feeling of ease combined with deep discoveries during the sessions.

I had the great opportunity to engage with coaching from Patti. We had some amazing conversations and she asked some great questions that really made me think how to manage a new team. This is especially true as I started my coaching with Patti as the COVID-19 pandemic hit. She really helped put a lot of management questions I had into perspective and allowed me to engage with my employees as we all transition do a new way of doing business. I would highly recommend her as a professional coach.

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 always 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.

Following up on a leadership conference, Patricia Risch was assigned to be my personal coach for 6 sessions to strengthen the learning from the conference. Each of those 6 sessions were helpful and significant to move me forward in my reflection and action, in my understanding and implementation of needed steps to be taken in my leadership role. Patricia came to each session fully present and engaged to provide a satisfying result and expectancy for the next session.

I took the Coaching course as part of my Leadership development training. The course helped me to develop the areas where I needed to straighten and helped me find my leadership style (Democratic). I also learned how to adjust my oral and written communications with my staff and senior Management. My staff has communicated that I am more approachable and relaxed. I highly recommend taking Coaching from Ms Risch.

At first I wasn’t sure how I would benefit from coaching, but as Patricia and I talked, I found that her observations, insights, and questions really helped me move forward in my thinking and actions, and the accountability was good for me. She is professional and compassionate, and our time always proved valuable to me. I believe anyone would benefit from coaching time with Patricia!

Patti's reputation is founded on her professionalism and her remarkable ability to guide individuals and small groups through a number of personal issues and concerns. She is a fine educator, a professional coach and personifies kindness and integrity."

Patti is one of the most highly committed, ethical, and passionate coaches I know. She honours quality coaching and brings a high degree of personal integrity to both her coaching and her relationships to others. As a coach, Patti brings a very empathetic and nurturing presence to the clients, which helps clients to open themselves and to move forward.

Dr. Lille Springall - Lifequest, Zürich, Switzerland

Mrs. Risch has a very nondirective style. She is an excellent listener, explores deeper into the topic and is clear in her questioning. Her presence is strong while coaching and the atmosphere and trust that she can build quickly with the client are remarkable. I have the feeling her clients feel respected and comfortable to explore uncomfortable issues with ease. She is connecting her clients with strengths they already have and supports them to define the next actions steps with great clarity.
