Certified Executive Coach and President, Padraig
Patrick O’Reilly is committed to helping successful leaders take themselves and their organizations to new heights of success. A recognized leader in his fields of endeavour through 20 years of progressively more senior roles, Patrick O’Reilly launched Padraig, a management consulting and executive coaching firm, in 2012.
“I became a coach because I want to help leaders who have been successful in their careers to identify the the strengths that will continue to serve them well, and to nurture the underdeveloped skills they will need to excel further. I’ve since grown the firm and brought on other amazing coaches so that we can help organizations develop their own talented, resilient, confident, and successful leaders.”
“My career as an executive, my travels and my work with clients across the continent have taught me this – the days are gone when an executive who excels in technical skill will continue to succeed. Taking that further, leaders who have only one or two leadership styles or techniques in their repertoire will hold themselves and their staff back. I wish I had known that earlier in my career and I’m glad I know it now and am able to apply it in service to others.”
Patrick’s role is to work together with our clients to develop successful, connected and inspiring leaders who see things differently — who find goals they haven’t found before, and the path that will lead them there.
Prior to starting Padraig, Patrick worked as a senior executive, managing large budgets, leading and mentoring teams of people and providing management and policy advice to colleagues, senior executives and politicians.
Patrick’s career includes working in established large organizations within government, starting up new, efficient and agile knowledge based teams, negotiating then personally launching the start-up of a federal Crown corporation and now bringing together that wealth of experience in his own firm for the benefit of his clients.
Patrick has worked across Canada and understands the unique similarities and sometimes strong differences that exist regionally across the country. As well, he has worked tirelessly developing international partnerships with numerous organizations, creating international working groups, speaking and delivering papers at conferences around the world including such locations as Australia, China, Belgium, England, Denmark, Portugal and the United States. Patrick has also provided management consultancy to organizations outside Canada in places as diverse as Ghana and Australia.
Patrick holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from Carleton University in Ottawa and a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching (Certified Executive Coach) from Royal Roads University in Victoria. He is a certified coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation and is certified to administer the EQi and EQ360 assessments, to administer and debrief 360 feedback under LEADS in a Caring Environment (a Canadian healthcare leadership program) and to administer and facilitate DiSC profile assessments and workshops.
