Testimonials for Patrick Jeffs:
- “Patrick has counseled our Clinical Oncology team on both individual and interpersonal resiliency as well as care redesign, creating a more egalitarian workflow. At a time when most places have struggled with burnout and low morale, he has personally transformed our workplace and work culture. Incredibly, everyone in our group, from medical assistants and schedulers to physicians and APPs have bought in.” – Daniel George, MD
Co-Chair, DCI Center for Prostate & Urologic Cancers Director, Genitourinary Oncology at Duke Cancer Institute - “I never expected how impactful and beneficial working with Dr. Jeffs has been to all facets of my life. I have not only been able to make drastic improvements to my relationships and take huge steps in my career, but I am now in-tune with myself and my surroundings.”
A.L. – CEO, Technology Sector - “We brought Dr. Jeffs into our organization (Kalisher) to help us navigate the effects of the Pandemic on our team. Never before has resiliency been so important, and we knew we needed an expert in the field to guide and support us. We care deeply about the mental health of our employees and Dr. Jeffs clearly did as well. From the moment we began our work with him, he felt like part of the team – he’s incredibly warm, inclusive, and compassionate, and he has a wealth of knowledge about mental health and resiliency.
It was a very worthwhile investment for our company. You don’t have to be suffering from the effects of something extreme like the Pandemic to make this investment yourself. We can all use additional training and coaching on resiliency, even when things are seemingly great. We highly recommend Dr. Jeffs and his team!” – Sarah Elder, Former CEO at Kalisher - “Patrick does a great job translating resiliency research into practical take-ways that participants can implement immediately. Additionally, his delivery and teaching methodology keeps participants engaged and interacting with each other. We often receive feedback on the ways that Fellows were able to implement what they learned in their own lives, as well as with their teams.” – Rick Morse, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Professor
