Patrick Parker helps leaders and organizations capture opportunities and solve problems through a combination of lived experience and formal training.
In childhood, a strong foundation of leadership came from participating in the family business, raising livestock and working with animals in rural North Carolina, reading about Biblical leadership and American heroes with his father, and being mentored by a United States Senator as an Eagle Scout. As Patrick followed his love of classical music and the arts in his first career, leadership skills were honed as Founder and Executive Director of Houston Baroque, Directorships in the Episcopal church, completing a doctorate and teaching on the university level, as an internationally recognized concert organist, and through residencies in France, Germany, and Norway.
Patrick has furthered his ability to lead and bring out leadership in others through professional development. He was trained in systems theories, organizational development, and dynamics of leadership as a Master of Social Work student at the University of Houston. He is a Certified Executive Coach and Master Facilitator through the Center for Executive Coaching, and is currently completing the Professional Certified Coach credential through the International Coach Federation and Board Certified Coach credential through the Center for Credentialing and Education. Patrick is a Certified Mediator in the state of Texas and has trained extensively in mindfulness, dialectics, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional intelligence.
Patrick's current clients include executives and teams in the non-profit realm, including one of the largest food insecurity agencies in the world. He has coached executives, employees, and entrepreneurs in oil and gas, finance, religious institutions, school districts, and the arts.
