Pat Thompson helps leaders lead.

Leaders lead in word and action. I help leaders put their actions into words. I work with them to uncover and tell their best stories – the ones that resonate with the times, gain support for their causes, and move their organizations in new directions. Together, we develop a strategic narrative, an authentic voice and a stronger position for their organizations in the nonprofit sector.

Leaders also lead by example. I help leaders stay connected to their sense of purpose and to a collegial community through conversations about vocation. These reflective conversations are about turning our experiences into knowledge and our knowledge into action. By asking evocative questions and mining our stories, we shape the vocational narratives that inspire and inform how we lead.
