Scott Patchin
The trU Group
President
My expertise lies in creating strategy, developing leaders, and then building and equipping both leaders and leadership teams to effectively manage growth. I partner with small- and medium-sized businesses that desire healthy growth and are challenged with having the time for development.
I am an Professional EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) Implementer and the greatest compliment a client ever shared was "Scott teaches while he facilitates, and I actually learned to be a more effective leader/facilitate more by watching him work." I have found EOS to be an effective tool for leaders and leadership teams to get more of what they want out of their business. Be prepared to learn while we work, because EOS is designed to develop leaders over time, making a classroom out of your business.
