Patrick Schoof – Executive Coach – Get To Where You Want To Be – Award-winning executive coach, helping executives get where they want to be

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE?

Where were you last year? Where will you be next year?

Patrick is a globally recognized executive coach, advising on transitions, acceleration, and leadership. In 24 years, he coached 4,000 executives at hundreds of organizations across industries — Apple, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nike, Target, GE, Chase, Lockheed, Boeing, GSK, The World Bank, etc.

He diagnoses and simplifies challenges, navigates complexity, and shares powerful perspectives and strategies that consistently deliver immediate, practical, and deeply relevant value — so you can discover/build the career you want, excel as a leader, and get where you actually want to be.

His approach improves your clarity, confidence, and credibility, and strengthens how you think, speak, and lead — so opportunities that fit you, more easily find you… and choose you. His clients now lead healthier, more satisfying, successful careers.

Patrick integrates a deep background in leadership, management, law, psychology, neuro-axiology, and storytelling, along with his proprietary IDM Framework and prioritization process, and the scientifically-validated VQ assessment to build careers that feel as good as they look.

Jobs v. Careers

Most executives work too hard, too long, for too little return — spreading themselves thin, trying to be everything to everyone. Without clear identity and direction, progress stalls, credibility erodes, and opportunities slip away. In a search for quick answers, we find one-size-fits-all advice that treats symptoms, not causes — resulting in constant selling, feeling drained, poorer decisions, and time-consuming short-term wins.

Nearly 80% of executives have a ‘job’, not a career. Like everyone, we ‘sell’ our history and a list of skills, strengths, experiences, and results we offer, and continually reinvent ourselves to be a ‘good fit’ for the next-level jobs we are qualified to fill. This makes us look like a generic ‘worker bee’.

Whenever we sell, reinvent, and use AI to be ‘a good fit’, we look just like everyone else.

Counter-Productivity

Most companies do not know who they are, or what consistent direction matters to them.

They rush left-and-right, up-and-down, checking off to-do lists, and trying to exceed diverse goals, and be visible in every room. They believe this is good marketing, good for brand, good for perceived value, and good to win more customers. Selling and chasing is always counter-productive!

You can consistently attract, engage, win, and keep the right employees and customers.

Simpler Smarter Solutions

Patrick will break you free from the outdated, constrictive, backward thinking we’re taught, and deliver powerful perspectives and simple strategies that will get you where you want to be, while your competition works uphill, wasting time, money, and energy.

When you live the IDM framework, everything will change!

Full of ideas from start to finish, thinking of new things to try as the conversation developed. I walked away thinking of many new avenues to try, which is the way you have to approach the NGO sector- thinking outside of the box and ready to try anything."
