Patricia is an executive/leadership and coach and IICDP certified DEI practitioner focusing on business leaders, leadership teams, and individual team member development. She has a specific focus on facilitating organizations working on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and implicit bias issues, and anti-racism training within their organizations.
