    Case Study – Insead Entrepreneurship Forum, Lisbon – September 2023

    I had the privilege of being the closing keynote speaker at the event, addressing an audience filled with top Portuguese executives, visionary entrepreneurs, and astute investors. The energy in the room was palpable, and I felt incredibly honored to be standing before such a distinguished crowd.

    My keynote, titled “Bold Leadership Unleashed,” aimed to inspire and empower leaders to embrace audacity in their pursuits. I had the incredible opportunity to follow introductions by Insead’s newly appointed Dean, Francisco Veloso, and the esteemed Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas. Their presence added immense gravitas to the event, and I couldn’t have asked for a more inspiring introduction.

    I shared five captivating stories, each punctuated by five transformative insights and five actionable tips. These stories were a culmination of my own experiences in the tumultuous yet rewarding world of Silicon Valley, Google and startups. The audience’s receptiveness to these anecdotes was nothing short of inspiring, and I was deeply moved by the connections we forged through shared narratives of triumph and resilience.

    • “Patrick is an incredible coach ready to ask the tough questions but giving you the tools and building simultaneously with you the transformation that makes one grow both professionally and personally. When I was at Sparta as a CEO, Patrick coached our management team with the objective to change the culture of Sparta to start its digital transformation. I wish my board had realized sessions with Patrick too! I personally believe that many organizations in Chile could benefit from his fresh view on how to build a culture with more engaged teams ready to tackle new business models and bring in the "so much needed" speed and flexibility that we all need right now in a purpose driven business.”

    • “If you need a strong coach or a passionate marketing guru, don’t hesitate to work with Patrick!I had the honour of Patrick coaching me during a difficult transition: I moved countries with my family and decided to make a career change at the same time. I know Patrick for more than 10 years and his level of energy has always inspired me. This is why I decided to work with him. Mind you: Patrick takes his coaching responsibilities very seriously. Even though we had known each other for a very long time, he defined a very transparent framework for our project and made sure I was fully committed to the cooperation. Frankly, earlier I was skeptical about coaching in general, but Patrick turned me around. I learned so much with his contribution! Somehow he always recommend the right kind of readings and exercises, and he guided me through a complete re-discovery of my own values, priorities and goals. What was extremely valuable to me that Patrick helped me on multiple dimensions: whether I needed advice on business issues or personal matters, Patrick offered me fantastic insights. As an experienced business leader and a cheerful guy with a very colorful international background, he is a constant source of inspiration. If you need a strong coach or a passionate marketing guru, don’t hesitate to work with Patrick!”
