Pat Dolen packs a playful punch!

Pat keeps her audiences grinning as they recognize themselves in her stories gleaned from over twenty-five years as a Strategic Business Coach and Board Facilitator to privately held businesses, as well as a Human Resources Adviser and CEO.

Pat believes an organization has the potential "to become irresistible" to top performers when they are willing to "play the sleuth" to examine who they are, how they communicate and how they lead. Sharing concepts and stories that invite audiences to take a playful look at themselves, Pat translates "how to become irresistible" into concrete steps that change people, perceptions and performance.

RETENTION: "Top Performers...a Game of Sleuth or Consequences."

Managers are finding themselves puzzled that what they do to motivate one generation, demotivates the other. The GEN's are being labeled and team compatibility and communication is unraveling. Understand the why's, laugh at the differences and join the crowd in "labeling" another GEN, as this message of appreciation and insight is delivered to your engaged audience.

GENERATIONAL ISSUES: "The Generational Puzzle...making the pieces fit!"

Pat's longtime mentor and personal coach is Frank Maguire, a Senior Founding Executive of FEDEX. Fred Smith, CEO, credits Frank with developing the company culture which resulted in Fortune Magazine naming FEDEX "The Top Corporation of the Decade".

Frank is a featured keynote speaker and recently completed a Leadership Speaker Series touring the globe with Rudy Guliani and Jack Welch. Gaining insight from his experiences and philosophies, Pat has incorporated key qualities and values into her presentation that demonstrate why certain leaders are "simply irresistible".

LEADERSHIP / MANAGEMENT: "The Irresistible Leader...why your employees won't leave you."
