Patrick Parker, PCC, LMSW, DMA
First Lutheran Church, Houston, 2018
Born and raised in rural North Carolina, Patrick Parker learned his first lessons about what it means to be alive and human through his community’s small Southern Baptist church, a tight knit extended family, the magical world of music on the family piano, and the Boy Scouts, where he was mentored by a U.S. Senator and earned the Eagle Scout award.
Patrick spent his twenties as a successful international concert organist with invitations to perform in the world’s great cathedrals, collaborations with GRAMMY-winners, a doctorate in music, commercial albums, and as Artistic Director of Houston Baroque and Directorships in the Episcopal Church. Simultaneously, he went through an intense, private process of personal development and became inspired to help others access the vast inner realm that creates a life and career worth having.
As an executive coach, speaker, and author, Patrick Parker delivers his Inner Leader framework with the premise that once people do inner work on themselves, unimaginable new external possibilities arise. He has delivered this model to leaders and teams in global companies and charities, with a forthcoming book and TEDx talk on the subject.
