Scott Patchin

Scott Patchin has a passion for individuals and organizations in transition. His coaching and leadership development practice is focused on growth-related transitions for leaders and organizations. He has over two decades of experience in coaching, facilitating strategic planning, delivering leadership development programs, and working in and with high growth organizations.

His first book, So You’re Gonna Be A DAD – Now What? focused on the transition to fatherhood and was a finalist for the Mom’s Choice Award. His plan was to write a second fatherhood book, until he realized that he would give the same advice to fathers of children of any ages.

His second book, People-Centered Performance, focuses on the ongoing transition of becoming and staying a people-centered leader. His epiphany for this book came when his editor asked him to document his core beliefs that served as his foundation for leading, which became Chapter 1! It also became a core exercise for all of the leaders he speaks to or trains.

His core value of Learning + Doing = Growth is at the center of all his writing, with a strong focus on actionable steps any reader can take to start increasing their capacity as a leader. Scott resides in Holland, Michigan, and is an active blogger, husband/father, keynote speaker, and Founder/Owner of The trU Group, www.thetrugroup.com.
