As the CIO of a $3.8 billion company, I brought Dr. Gourgouris on board to assist us in our leadership transformation journey. What I learned along the way was that true success cannot be measured in merely dollars and cents or tasks accomplished, it must also be measured in the intangible ability to truly lead and inspire people to accomplish the mission or objectives of the organization and its leadership. To accomplish this, leadership must be applied at every level of an organization, people must be trained, educated, coached and mentored to perform at their peak level of collaboration and contribution. Very rarely do the stars align and this level of synergy occur on its own.

​

In my experience of over 20 years of senior leadership with Fortune 500 companies, I have met only a few select individuals who possessed the insight and skill sets to provide the leadership to achieve this level of transformation. Dr. Gourgouris is one of those individuals. He brings equal parts of coach, mentor and educator, serving as an organizational Sherpa to guide your team to new levels of collaboration and success. With his even-handed demeanor and deep interpersonal skill sets, I have seen him transform people and organizations that were deemed unsalvageable. Navigating the complexities of organizational politics and interpersonal issues, Dr. Gourgouris demonstrated time and time again his skill set and experience in creating high performance organizations and cultures. I would welcome the opportunity to partner with him again in any of my leadership and organizational development endeavors. He is the consummate professional!

I met Patrick in mid 2018 when we both presented at the World Positive Psychology Conference in New York. Patrick was the keynote speaker and very deservedly. His ability to engage with his audience, impart knowledge and leave participants wanting more was very impressive. Since then I have been fortunate to get to know him and highly value his knowledge and wisdom. I regard Patrick as a world leader in his field. If you get the opportunity to engage with Patrick in professional development it will be time and money well spent.

After I had taken the Mindfulness courses taught by Dr Adrian, I 
started practicing mindfulness and meditation daily, which helped me in stress reduction, focusing, life satisfaction and I started to appreciate the things around me more frequently.

I have known Dr. Gourgouris for over 25 years, during which I have both met with him personally and have attended many of his lectures. He is extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, and experienced - with over 25,000 hours of counseling and coaching clients which have come mostly through personal referrals. There is no greater proof of customer satisfaction than that! He is also one of the most engaging speakers I have ever heard; each workshop I have attended has been informative, entertaining, and presented in a thoughtful and interesting manner. As you can tell, I am an avid fan and admirer of Dr. Gourgouris and his work – he is one of the most gifted and talented people I have ever met.
