Comments on Patience’s work
Our Co-Leadership Team spent 2 full days with Patience. During this brief time she was effective at quickly establishing a safe trusting working space with her approachability and humour! It quickly became clear the depth of knowledge Patience carries. She was able to guide us to identify and align our values, problem solving skills and conflict style. Ending with the planning session provided us with the hands on experience needed to implement the knowledge we learned. Our team walked away with additional resources, practical skills, and a greater connection. Patience is personable, encouraging and an excellent teacher.
If you’re coming to Thynk to learn, expect creative challenges and changes. Over the past 4 years, we’ve developed a relationship with Patience working on community, education, and government projects of all sizes. Her broad range of experience and perspectives help us successfully meet our project goals. Equally or maybe more importantly, Patience helps us build our community and meet those deeper customer experience goals. Patience has a natural style motivating learners to try new approaches, build new skills, and celebrate their renewed confidence.
Patience is truly in a class of her own when it comes to creating interactive leadership training. I was lucky enough to be included in one of her courses and came out the other end with lots of practical and philosophical leadership tools which I implement daily. Thynk Leadership should be top of the list if you’re thinking about inspiring your current leaders or bringing up the next generation of leaders in your organization.
Looking forward to taking more courses taught by Patience. Patience promotes the importance of learning change in a way that is beneficial to current leaders and developing leaders. Thank you for the tools!!! Patience shows a passion for what she’s teaching and that allowed me to feel engaged.
Amazing Leadership!


I met Patience in 1996. During our time I have watched Patience create many projects, providing healing support in Indigenous communities, During our years together, I have seen Patience successfully consult and liaise with service providers (both governmental and non-governmental), define effective needs assessments, arrange educational curriculum and create program delivery. Patience is a good communicator and masterful educator with an innovative vision for the future.
I have always known Patience to maximize the connections she makes with others.
