What clients have said …
Patrick is a life long learner who always is looking at how business and life interact. He is always adapting his knowledge and experience to serve and help his clients reach their best version of themselves in life and business. He also realizes that as we grow we change and I believe that is one of his strengths, knowing that each change requires a new version of self.
His passion for coaching and life is self evident if you spend more than 30 seconds with him. It’s his passion that is his greatest strength. Always helpful and inspiring Patrick helps people see the Big Picture so they can chart a path that is congruent with who they want to be.

A coach is someone who will tell you today everything that you will be able to figure out by yourself—much later. Patrick von Pander (The Big Picture Coach ) gets it. If you want clarity about your business and life sooner rather than later, Patrick is your guy.

I am currently working with Patrick on a 10 Session Pkg to take my business to the next level. We have just completed session three and as I like to tell people he is kicking my but! The sessions are jam packed, the homework is immense and my team is already commenting on the outcomes and feeling inspired by osmosis.
If you are serious about taking your business to the next level and want a coach to take you through the paces - I recommend Patrick.

I am the Co-Organizer of the Vancouver Business Network Meetup. On June 11, 2013 Mr. Patrick von Pander spoke eloquently to my members. The title of his presentation was “Connect deeply with prospects to get tons of customers”. Patrick totally engaged the audience with his stories and the depth and breadth of his knowledge around the sales process.
Roger KillenGet Inspired Talks | Producer
Patrick is a consciousness and dedicated coach who thoughtfully analyzes the particular needs of his clients to offer the best solutions on how they can build their career. He knows his stuff and uses it well and, perhaps most importantly, never tries to take control of the process away from his clients. He modifies his coaching style to suit their needs instead of trying to modify their needs to suit his style. I'd recommend Patrick to anyone who needs a good career coach.

I initially met Patrick of course at an ESN network event a couple of years agoand strating building a relatipnship with him. This year I finally made the plunge to hire Patrick to help me with my business development to improve and grow QED over the next 3 to 5 years.
It seems whatever problem I bring to the table I can rely on Patrick to offer solutions I would otherwise have missed from how to motivate the staff to higher levels, marketing, business models, etc.
Patrick always has a sincere interest in your business problems and one final postive item - he won't let you off the hook of I didn't get it done this week.

I have, in the past, gone to a few of Patrick's seminars. I found them very informative and interesting. More recently I had the opportunity to sit down and have a one on one conversation about business. It was during this conversation that I realized how innovative and inspirational he truly is. I highly recommend Patrick to you or your organization.

People hire a business coach when they need help and I was no different. Patrick gave me an insight into my issues and I left with a much bigger picture of my goals and my business. And over the years I have watched him help others just like me and make them better. My glass is full, thanks Patrick.
David HutchisonDavid's Notebook | Writer
After meeting Patrick several years ago, we have had many discussions since then. It's always reassuring in business and life, to connect with an expert in human relations to give you balance and perspective. Patrick can bring the 'big picture' into perspective for every participant in an organizational structure - with caring perception and business acumen. He's smart and insightful - what you want in an experienced adviser.
