Active & collaborative practice to facilitate durable change.
For high performers who get results but have reached their ceiling, the uncomfortable truth is that the limit on your performance is you.
To change our outcomes, we need to change ourselves. The journey starts as soon as our first call. For those ready to do the deep work, let’s face complexity fully and fearlessly.
My coaching is best suited to those individuals who have experienced success due to their technical brilliance yet now recognize that what it is they want next will require new ways of being in their professional and personal lives.
1:1 Coaching
Coaching is partnership that is focused on generating the highest levels of performance possible for individual.
In every coaching relationship we hold that each client is wired to actualize and can do so with the right focus.
To create a successful coaching process we examine the beliefs, mindsets, and frameworks with which you currently view your world and whether they are getting you the life/leadership/business outcomes you desire
Coaching works best for those who are willing to take responsibility and recognize opportunities for agency.
Many clients have foregone developing their self and social awareness because they have succeeded based on a narrow highly refined skillset. However, there comes a point when everyone at their level has an equal measure of brilliance and what will differentiate them has to change. Coaching helps unlock their potential ability to lead and inspire others, opening up the possibility that there are more parts of themselves than they may have originally thought that could bring them success.

Effective teams take work. Not a weekend workshop but structured processes, agreements, and clear communication, therefore whether it is smooth sailing or stormy days, the team can use them as their lighthouse
Team Coaching
My work with teams focuses on helping them get honest with themselves, and in turn, honest with one another. I often tell them I’m just there to help them tell the truth. We work together to create a team culture where individuals are taking radical responsibility for themselves and their impact. In this context we can start building trust and helping the team tell one another the truth.
Members of a team can be masters of their craft but still struggle with individual regulation of the self and others.
Without shared intention or cohesive alignment on the purpose of their work, a team will never execute to the full extent of their abilities.
Our team coaching engagements are 9-12 month experiences that will give every person the opportunity for deep transformation, if they choose it, in turn, when people transform so do organizations
Client feedback

— PATTY LEEPER
By leveraging the abilities and brilliance that clients already possess, we identify the primary needs of the specific group and unlock their innate power to self-regulate and grow holistically.
Off-Sites & Retreats
In a time when in-person experiences are rare and essential, I curate unique, personable, and engaging off-sites and retreats for teams that desire to discover new depths. My experiences offer bespoke solutions for an organization’s key problems in spacious settings that dispel old ways of being and pave the path to targeted outcomes.
With me, it’s never just a retreat. From the pre-work I conduct with clients before an off-site to my follow-up ensuring that teams can achieve long-lasting integration, I scaffold the deconstruction and reconstruction of a team’s self-conception without getting in the way. My programs include, but are not limited to:
Culture work
Strategic planning
Team building
Working sessions
Any experience that would benefit from expert facilitation
The clients are always at the center of the experiences.
