He explains his professional journey as “My life is an adventure driven by curiosity. I’ve always wondered why people think, act and react to experiences in diverse and unexpected ways... Why some are amazingly resilient while others get stuck, and even lock themselves up in self-created prisons. After 15 years as a practicing therapist, Dr. Williams became one of the coaching industry’s founding pioneers and took up his metaphorical machete, and began trailblazing the coaching industry and built “Coaching the Global Village" to deliver the power of the coach approach to communities of all sizes, in developing nations. He is a writer, speaker and author of his 7th book, "Getting Naked (With Your Clothes On)."
Dr. Williams has worked with countless business leaders, professionals, coaches, Navy SEALS, incarcerated and paroled inmates, and citizens in resource-poor locations. He is a founding member of the International Coach Federation, an inaugural recipient of its Circle of Distinction Award, a Master Certified Coach, a Board Certified Coach, a Coach for the US Navy SEAL Future Fund, and a member of the Forbes Coaching Council.  Links to additional resources  Books by Dr. Williams: https://www.amazon.com/Patrick-Williams/e/B001H6KXOY  Dr. William's website: https://drpatwilliams.com  Patrick's masterclass: http://www.consciouslivingmastery.com  Follow Leader Lounge on Spotify: http://leaderlounge.community April Qureshi’s website: https://aprilqureshi.com April on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/april-qureshi/ Books by April on Amazon: http://booksbyapril.ca Book April to speak at your event: http://aprilspeaks.ca Originally broadcast in May 2020 during the Lead From Within Global Leadership Summit launched at the onset of the global pandemic.
