Patrick Parker, PCC, LMSW, DMA
"I've had the pleasure to watch Patrick develop his natural ability to be a great coach over the past few years. A forthright person and critical, divergent thinker, Patrick demonstrates mastery of current coaching best practices while also developing innovative strategies to move clients forward using the depth of his experience in the arts. Just as importantly, I have seen him demonstrate the elements of inner leadership to navigate life in rich and rewarding ways. He would be an asset to almost any organization."
