Meet the Team
Patrice Ford Lyn, Chief Executive Officer
Patrice has taken many risks and felt the tremendous emotions that accompanied them. She has packed up and moved to a different country more than once. Left a "secure" job to do the work she loves more than once. She even left a bad situation and bought an open ticket to Brazil having no idea how long she would be there or what would happen next.
And, she has also felt the paralysis of fear that kept her stuck for years. She knows that the right support - perspective, tools, compassion, community and accountability - makes all the difference.
And, that’s why she does this beautiful work. So that you can have a safe space to pause, reflect, assess and step into possibilities greater than you can currently imagine.
It’s okay to feel frustrated, it means you are ready for change.

She has guided organizations in emboldening their visions while thriving and provided thought partnership during crunch times when they needed to pivot. Her expertise spans both enterprise-wide strategic planning and the intricacies of organizational reinvention.
