Cancer punctuates Patricia Asp’s amazing career. Caring for loved ones struggling with cancer could have sidelined Pat's pursuit of her career. Instead, the experiences turned her into a much better leader.

The lessons from dealing with several family members suffering from cancer challenged Pat to adapt her leadership style. Caring for her father as cancer slowly took his life, Pat began to understand the importance of empathy.

When Pat’s husband announced the discovery of his cancer, Pat shifted back to caring. In the midst of her husband’s successful fight with cancer, Pat realized her Type A workaholism had taken precious family time away. She immediately adjusted her boundaries of work and family.

Pat finds the strength to make these changes through her growing relationship with Christ.

Pat’s successful career includes executive positions in hospital management and ServiceMaster. Now Pat helps companies build great cultures through ASPire.
