About

Terry Patterson

I love to help business leaders perform at an even higher level, continue to grow their skills and careers, and maybe even become better humans.

I help people evolve skills such as inspiring, innovating, driving agility and creating value. Development is accomplished in the context of real-life business challenges, using interpersonal and business situations to flex new leadership muscles for better outcomes.

I bring executive coaching, leadership & talent development, and facilitation skills honed through career experiences as Managing Director in Deloitte’s Human Capital consulting practice and previous senior HR executive roles in large, complex, high-performing organizations.

  • Personal Perspective

    I believe in lifelong learning. In identifying and staying true to a set of core values. And in maintaining perspective – including having a little fun and not taking yourself too seriously.

    When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me working with charitable organizations, spending time outdoors, playing sports (hockey, skiing, golf, platform tennis, swimming), or hanging with my family.
