She has a unique ability to motivate and empower aspiring women leaders to articulate their goals and pursue them, and to aim as high as possible in the process. I am forever grateful to Harvard's Women Leadership Program for assigning me to Ms. DeDominic as a mentee in 2003.

“Straight Shooter. Experienced. Insightful. Inspiring. Supportive. Patty is all of these things and more. She is a top-notch coach and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to receive her insight and counsel. She asks great questions, holds me accountable, celebrates my successes, and always, always, tells me exactly what I need to hear. Patty pushes me to show up as my best self, get out of my own way, and in doing so has helped me become a better person, manager, and CEO.“
Alyssa Gasca
Owner and Principal at SPARK Executive Solutions
“The world is filled with coaches but there are only a few that are elevated to orchestrators. Patty has the rare capacity to create more value in 15-minutes that many people can only hope to attain in months of work. She is brilliant, bold, decisive, wise, funny, buoyant, and kind. I have known her for decades and observed her going through the best of times and the worst of times. No matter the circumstances, Patty has demonstrated integrity, honesty, and courage. She uses experiences to grow as an individual and offer even more to the world around her. In a recent conversation, Patty was talking about the value she brings to business owners as a coach. I stopped her for a moment and suggested that her purest spiritual role is one of a mentor. I know this because I have met dozens of the women and men she has mentored from NAWBO, SCORE, and Maui Mastermind. Most of them have described meeting Patty as a turning point in their lives. I am honored to know her as a friend, colleague, and mentor.”

“Patty redefines what it means to be a coach. She combines experience, insight, and warmth in ways that make barriers to success simply melt away. I've had the pleasure of connecting with her and some of her great connections and clearly see her as the "glue" in great relationships. If you're an entrepreneur who's looking to cross the chasm to, say, that eight-digit future, you can accelerate the journey (and enjoy the ride more) with Patty DeDominic on your side. Get in touch with her. You'll see what I mean immediately.“
