A seasoned expedition medic and physician, Patrick brings hard-won lessons from extreme environments to the world of leadership and learning. He helps teams, executives, and adventurers think like explorers—focused, adaptable, and ready for the unknown.​

THE EXPLORER'S MINDSET
In extreme environments, every choice counts.
Conditions shift. Plans fail. You adapt—or you don’t. This is where the explorer’s mindset is forged.
​
Whether you're leading a company or crossing a glacier, you need clarity under pressure, emotional balance, and the ability to make strong decisions in the unknown. Patrick brings these lessons back to you—so you can lead, work, and live with more focus and purpose.
