Patti Feeney
Patti's Story
I come to our conversation with over 25 years of experience helping leaders and teams thrive through meaningful change.
My journey hasn't been a straight path—it's been a zigzag, a stumble, a full-speed collision with my questions of "then what?" Through career transitions, personal shifts, and learning to lead authentically, I've discovered that the most profound growth happens in those spaces between what was and what will be.
Unlike typical leadership or career coaches who focus solely on strategies and outcomes, I bridge the gap between professional development and personal meaning. I transform the "what now?" moment into a "then what?" opportunity, helping you discover your next step and why that step matters.
My approach is grounded in organizational development, change management, and the firm belief that leadership starts with leading yourself—with awareness, authenticity, and purpose.
