BOOK ME
Problems I help leaders solve
  • Conflict: Whether it's team, board or personal issues, we've all seen how damaging these issues can be.
  • Productivity. We all get tired, exhausted and burnout. The right tools and energy management can make the difference.
  • Storytelling and inspiration. Delivering the right story can mean the difference between keeping or loosing a key employee or investor
  • Lack of purpose or vision. People don't care what you do. They care "why" you do it.
  • Loneliness. Being a leader at the top can be the loneliest job in the world. It doesn't have to be. Sometimes you just need someone in your corner who won't judge you.
How I work

My coaching style is bold, authentic and results oriented.  As someone who’s been in the trenches at both early stage startups and large companies including Pepsi and Google for nearly 3 decades, I speak from experience and not just theory.

I use my training as a certified Co-active coach coupled with my experience as an entrepreneur and CEO to help you become the best possible leader you can be and reach your goals.

My 60-90 minutes sessions can be either in person or virtual and blend the active listening, questioning and challenge of coaching with advice, experience and tools that I use as a mentor.  

In addition, by working with me you get:  

  • 360 Diagnostics, personality assessments and in-depth interviews to identity your zones of genius and your areas of improvement
  • Proven tools like the Zenger Folkman FUEL model, Powerful Questions, The Wheel of Life and other frameworks and digital content to accompany our coaching sessions and make the theory turn into actionable results
  • Tools and techniques to also help you live a balanced, purposeful life and maintain your energy level at its fullest to get the most out of your time.

The Ikigai Drives Company Culture

When you’re growing quickly it can be easy to forget what the company stands for or loose track of your values.

When your company has a clear purpose, you inspire employees, clients and partners.

Your people are more innovative, proactive and you retain them longer.

When you work with me, we’re going to identify your Ikigai as well as your core values.
Than we’re going to apply that to your organization and team.

When you have an inspired organization all the impossible stuff becomes possible.

I’ve known and worked closely with Patrick for over a decade and know that many would benefit from this book which is a result of his deep self reflections and focus on constant, transformational change. Congratulations Patrick! Thank you for letting me be a small part of this amazing journey.
Brad Bao
Brad BaoFounder and Chairman at LIME
Part-autobiography, part self-help manual, "Step Back and Leap" is a captivating read from the get go. Patrick Mork has lived a rich, varied life and he's a strong storyteller, which might be why I found myself racing through this book in a single day. You will exit the book entertained and inspired to be bolder in seeking your own truth.
Leela Srinivasan
Leela SrinivasanCEO at Parity, Board Member Upwork
The sustained narrative, of both your life and your career, moved me to tears on several occasions. If this book does not inspire others to live better, be better, lead better and just generally work harder on themselves, then nothing else will. You have created a treasure!
Brendan Keenan
Brendan KeenanChief of Staff at Pineapple
I can't recommend this book enough. From career to personal advice, this book taught me so much. I'm going through a pivotable time in my career and took a lot of the advice to heart, especially around my values (and not deviating from them!), as well as learning from step backs in my career. Thank you Patrick for such sound advice!
Erica Larson
Erica LarsonHead of Gaming and CGE sales coach at Google
Patrick flexed his style to span both personal and professional topics, from managing relationships on the home front, to navigating delicate political situations with executive boards, and everything between. Patrick leverages his wealth of first hand-experience and long career to empathize, while challenging me to seek answers for myself. Anyone who wants to work on themselves and is willing to be accountable would benefit greatly from having Patrick as their coach.

Psychological Safety – The Secret to High-Performing Teams

  • Format: 3-hour Morkshop

    What’s the Problem?

    You can’t innovate in a room full of silent head nods. If your people don’t feel safe to speak up, push back, or say “I don’t know,” then you’ve got a culture of fear—not performance.

    Psychological safety isn’t soft. It’s the foundation of every high-performing, risk-taking, truth-telling team. But most organizations are stuck in survival mode—playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Behind closed doors, people withhold ideas, avoid hard feedback, and play small because they’re afraid of being judged, blamed, or ignored.

    This Morkshop changes that—fast. From live feedback exercises to open-floor conversations, teams don’t just talk about psychological safety—they start creating it in real time.

    Who is this for?

    • Teams with strong talent but inconsistent collaboration or risk avoidance
    • Leaders who want to create environments where people feel safe to speak up, experiment, and innovate

    What will people get out of this?

    • A deep understanding of what Psychological Safety is and how it directly impacts innovation and performance
    • Practical strategies and language to build trust, invite vulnerability, and foster courageous conversations

    Includes access to Mork Guides on Building Trust, Vulnerability Loops, and Safe Communication—plus optional pairing with Patrick’s keynote, The Safety to Soar for maximum impact.

    All Mork Guides come with links to my Mork’s Leadership GPT which allows participants to use my GPT as a role playing partner to practice the relevant exercises in each guide.
