Testimonials

“I worked with Jason on a Leadership program, which was something I was very hesitant about at first, but found to be a great experience. He used tools like the Hogan and Clifton StrengthAssessments, which were a great starting tool. However, his assistance in breaking them down and provided practical feedback was very beneficial to me in my daily interactions at work. He not only gave me additional confidence in my natural strengths, but he showed me ways to use them to offset my weaknesses, which was very enlightening to me. Coaching sessions with Jason left me feeling more confident about my leadership abilities and energized to approach things with a new perspective.”

“Jason has been my executive coach for nearly two years. I selected him specifically because he possessed leadership characteristics I generally shied away from. Through our work together, I have learned how to build greater affinity and trust with people who I may have had unconscious bias towards. I have become more mindful of my strengths and how to effectively use them to lead my team and operations. His coaching style is both supportive and inspiring. He challenges me to think boldly which has resulted in strategic actions I did not previously consider. At a time when we are all challenged with the pandemic and social and political strife, Jason’s guidance and coaching has helped me successfully navigate these choppy waters and our operational performance has never been better! I truly appreciate his thought-partnership and coaching and would highly recommend him to any executive who desires to become a breakthrough leader.”

“Jason is a phenomenal coach and has made a profound impact on my life. Jason challenges me to continue to think differently and gives me tools to broaden my skills. The time that I have spent with Jason, has been more impactful to my career than any professional education program that I have been in. I’m eternally grateful for the mark that he has left in my life.”

“Jason and I worked together for several months. We used the Gallup full 34 strengths and Myers Briggs to assess what we had to work with in my personal/professional development. I was completely shocked by how Jason was able to apply that to me as an individual and give me an improvement plan of how to become a better me. He connected with me well and understands me. I truly felt like he developed a plan that custom fit me and my strengths. He gave me insightful development opportunities and would regularly check in on my progress. He is a great coach to me and I believe he is personally invested in my development. I’m very blessed to have him in my life. I’m a better me because of the guidance he gives me.”

“Jason Patomson’s ability to both support and challenge my thinking has led me to become a more confident and effective leader. By encouraging me to set SMART goals and identify what I needed to do to achieve them, Jason helped me to significantly improve my communication skills, build better business relationships, and maintain a healthy work life balance. He also coached me to adopt a collaborative leadership style which gives my direct reports a sense of ownership and empowerment. As a consequence I am able to put more emphasis on big picture issues and strategic thinking to support our company’s objectives. With Jason’s guidance, I not only identified my strengths but also areas in need of improvement. What I appreciate most about this phenomenal coach is that he listens without judgement, this helped me navigate some very difficult times this past year.
