Twenty-five years. Five roles. One shared mission: build leaders that organizations can count on when it matters most. Patrick’s alliance with FranklinCovey is the longest and most expansive partnership of his career and it runs through everything he brings to the stage and the boardroom.

Most consulting relationships last a project or two. Patrick’s partnership with FranklinCovey has spanned more than two decades… growing from frontline delivery work into senior advisory and curriculum leadership roles that shape how FranklinCovey serves organizations worldwide.
Over those 25 years, Patrick has held five distinct roles within the organization:
Led global client relationships, working directly with executive teams across diverse industries to align FranklinCovey solutions with enterprise objectives.
Facilitated international corporate workshops, bringing FranklinCovey's flagship programs to audiences across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Directed execution programs built on The Four Disciplines of Execution across sectors including manufacturing, transportation, hospitality, and consumer packaged goods.
Provided elite advisory consulting to senior leadership teams navigating organizational change, cultural transformation, and performance improvement.
Directed the development of FranklinCovey's next-generation leadership and culture training solutions — including the enterprise program built on his co-authored book with James Patterson.
Patrick played a key role in the global launch of The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity, introducing the curriculum to clients across three continents, and co-authored Building a Winning Culture in Government: A Blueprint for Delivering Success in the Public Sector — establishing his expertise in performance improvement within public-sector institutions.
Patrick’s methodologies aren’t academic exercises brought to the corporate world for the first time. These frameworks have been refined through more than two decades of implementation with FranklinCovey’s global clients. What he brings to your team has already been tested at scale.
The frameworks Patrick teaches are grounded in The Disruption Project, which draws on 350+ interviews with positive disruptors worldwide, and validated through FranklinCovey’s enterprise delivery systems. Theory and practice aren’t separate here. They’re the same thing.
Organizations don’t maintain a consulting partnership for 25 years because the content sounds good in a slide deck. They maintain it because it works. Patrick’s longevity with FranklinCovey is the strongest possible proof of sustained, measurable impact.
Patrick periodically partners with FranklinCovey to deliver live webcasts for its clients. Built around the four-stage Disruptive Loop framework of Discern, Behave, Achieve, and Refine, these webcasts help clients respond to existing and emerging disruptions, including AI, globalization, and constant organizational change.
Each week, Patrick sits down with C-suite executives from world-class organizations to explore how top leaders manage disruption, scale global teams, and balance technological change with human-centered culture. Past guests include the Chief People Officers of TTEC, Vertiv, and LPL Financial, the former CEO of WD-40, and executives from across the Fortune 500.
C-Suite Conversations succeeds Patrick’s Leadership Lab Podcast, which achieved a top 1% global ranking and featured over 150 guests.
Launched in Fall 2025, this enterprise training program translates the research behind Disrupt Everything—and Win into a structured curriculum for corporate teams. Built around the Disruptive Loop — a four-stage framework of Discern, Behave, Achieve, and Refine.
Co-authored during Patrick’s time as a senior advisor, this book provides a practical blueprint for delivering high performance and sustainable results within public-sector organizations — applying FranklinCovey’s proven frameworks to the unique challenges of government leadership.
