Talks:
“Grant Thornton UK LLP engaged Oli Patrick to support the acceleration of our wellbeing agenda and in particular provide expertise during a 40 day health boost programme to promote healthy habits and encourage improvements in morale after lockdown.
The team found Oli really personable and engaging to work with and he was flexible and adaptative to our needs as an organisation, it’s a delicate balance when bringing in experts to a business that it needs to fit with current programmes and feel value adding to current health programmes and Oli achieved this really well. He also brought a different dimension to our health agenda that we hadn’t had before in terms of his clinical perspective on the lifestyle issues impacting people’s wellbeing. His content was well researched and grounded in clinical experience and creating real changes in behaviour over time and his style of presentation was personable and interesting. He used data to describe issues around sleep, stress and energy and the link to living well and productivity focusing on lifestyle and small changes that people could make.
I think the standout factor about working with Oli is his empathetic style and ability to communicate to those previously neglected by health and wellbeing messaging. The feedback from our programme has been incredible with one participate describing Oli as ‘life changing’ and I would agree; I am personally now making my own Kombucha because of Oli.”
Talk Series:
“I was fortunate to be introduced to Oli a couple of years ago – initially to discuss a specific programme we were trying to introduce. Oli was a big hit, and since then we have worked on a number of programmes and 1:1 assignments together. The feedback is always great.
Oli has a fantastic, professional approach and warm and supportive personal style. In our working collaboration he is always immediately responsive and supportive, not a given in this busy world. His friendly, engaging, practical and calm style has also been a huge asset running health and wellbeing programmes across the firm. Everyone enjoys his sessions and I’m always being asked “when is he coming back next.”
One-on-one Coaching:
“Having the support from Oli on both a personal basis and with the wider team as part of a group exercise has been incredible. Each of the team has described the value of the team conversation as really important to support the wellbeing agenda, alongside the individual 1-1s being more personal and tailored to each team member. I’ve seen a step change in how the team has responded, and more importantly how they are leading the way on how they’re looking after themselves in a way that they weren’t before. This is very much the start of the support, but huge thanks Oli on kick starting the team on the journey so far.”
Press:
“Oliver Patrick, the deeply charming and empathetic strawberry blonde sensation who was my day-to-day contact, might be the most delightful person in the known universe. He knows everything. And what he doesn’t know he will find out for you.”
