"There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Oscar Wilde

"It was not what I expected at all but I enjoyed it! …we soon got into the swing of things and by the end of day two the change was amazing! I think it made us all think about our roles within the company and perhaps identify with other people who we would not normally come into contact with. I am really glad I offered to attend."

I had the privilege of having Pat as my personal work coach during my time at White Light Ltd. Pat is a genuine and empathetic coach. She created a safe and trusting environment where I felt comfortable discussing specific and day-to-day challenges and exploring new ideas for dealing with these challenges with her. Her positive attitude and support, and the ideas and techniques she shared, continue to be a source of motivation and support for me.
Additionally, I worked with Pat when she delivered a modular Management Development program at White Light. Pat understood White Light as a business and was able to ensure that the training she delivered was perfectly focused and aligned with our business needs.
Pat’s expertise, professionalism, and passion for helping others succeed make her an invaluable asset to any organisation.
Sara Hogan (Head of Business Operations d&b Solutions)

Pat and I have worked on several projects together at WL, including the implementation of our mental health policy and training to support our change management programmes. I wholeheartedly recommend Pat as a coach, trainer and facilitator.

You are a wonderful teacher, and I value and remember a lot of our time together .. You were always encouraging, firm and inspiring and you have a quality that goes beyond so many teachers, which is that you were always dead honest and kind.

“Excellent training sessions! Pat is delivering strong content that is thought-provoking, effective and gives you a lot of techniques to improve as a manager.”
Marketing Manager, Management Development Programme, White Light Ltd 

Pat is a wonderful colleague and has a real aptitude with people. She really understands what makes people tick and is an expert in her field. Working with Pat is both an enjoyable and professional experience; she is engaging and inspiring to be around. I worked on several projects with Pat over nearly two years, at Open days, on webinars and at workshops. I also noticed how Pat has a great team around her; she is intuitive and offers continual encouragement to both staff and students, having extensive experience in mental health and wellbeing. I highly recommend Pat as either a consultant or tutor.

Laura Harris (Marketing & Engagement Manager, St Mary's London School of Medicine)

Pat worked with 19 coaching the S Club Juniors, a 13-week children’s TV series called I Dream for the BBC. What struck me most about Pat was her enthusiasm for her craft and her patience with the Juniors.
They were all at different levels in terms of their age and acting skills, and Pat successfully managed to tutor them all effectively while making it enjoyable at the same time!
There was a lot of ground to be covered in the short time that Pat had with the Juniors. However, there was a marked improvement from when they started to when they finally stepped foot on set! A job well done and a lovely person to have on board!
Karen Tillotson, Artist Manager for 19


"Since arriving at White Light, Pat has assisted me with developing my communication and leadership skills. This has been great, and I have picked up a huge wealth of techniques and tips that I can readily apply to my daily work. Examples of specific outcomes so far for me are improved communication, the development of a range of leadership styles, a great understanding of my natural style and most importantly a consideration of my sphere of influence (what I can and can’t change). This has really given me a boost; the tips have helped me to bring in more work for the company and focus on the tasks I can complete without wasting time on the ones I can’t change the outcome of"
Craig Bennett – Business Development Manager, White Light Ltd 

“We wanted Pat to help the choir feel more engaged as a team, as we had expanded quickly and not all members knew each other, and we also wanted to gain confidence and a sense of togetherness in performing on a stage.  In a mere 90-minute workshop, Pat was able to fulfil both briefs fully through a series of fun and interactive games, breathing exercises and observation with feedback.  Not only did we all have great fun, we left feeling far more connected and performed on the stage at the Brighton Dome two weeks later with a strong sense of comradeship and poise.  Totally recommended.”
The Paddock Singers, Lewes.
