Hi, I’m Patrick.
Globe-trotting disaster consultant, former first responder, and one of the world’s elite experts in disaster preparedness.
My specialty is DISRUPTION. You may have heard of a “business continuity specialist” or “emergency response planner” – I’m both. There may be only 400 people like me in the world who are true experts at this stuff, and I’m the only one on the planet bringing the lessons learned from disaster planning to unforgettable speaking sessions that give audiences the tools and mindset to face disruption – whether it’s a natural disaster, corporate crisis, personal challenge, or emergency event.
I’ve worked with hundreds of international agencies and LOVE getting on stage to bring what I’ve learned to audiences looking to skillfully convert disruption into opportunities for growth.
My promise: I will transport your audience into the jaws of the unexpected, then back out again stronger and ready to face disruption with resilience. My high-energy, engaging events will challenge those who think disaster planning is not allowed to be fun!
