Patricia Roberts

Having held roles up to Partner and Managing Director, my experience of business at a senior level enables me to connect with executives on the issues they face with deep understanding. I am able to challenge current perceptions and beliefs in a way that opens up new possibilities and new ways of thinking about difficult situations. In addition to coaching senior executives and the talent stream across many listed companies and in Government, my experience and knowledge make me sought after as a post-graduate coaching lecturer and leadership educator.

Coaching experience: 10 years+
My experience has been with large organisations with business leaders and individuals identified as talent, working on fast-tracking leadership development and addressing specific issues they face within their organisations or related to their growth as leaders. The outcome of executive coaching is an individual who has faced tough goals, conquered them and learned the ability to self-correct in the future. The process works towards enhancing excellence and supporting even greater achievement. Other areas of focus include senior executives facing strategic or business challenges and female leaders who aim to become board level executives.

Professional qualifications and Affiliations
I hold the Management Masters in Business and Executive Coaching from Wits Business School (University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa), in addition to the PCC executive coaching qualification from the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business. My research topic is the contribution of coaching to enabling team leaders to extract value from diversity in teams. I am accredited as an Integral Coach by New Ventures West.
