​“I have engaged Ilene Patasnik & Associates over the past 10 years for team development, culture analysis and change and executive coaching services.

“I have worked with Ilene Patasnik for over 15 years as both an internal Organization Development colleague as well as an external consultant. Ilene has been able to transfer her extensive OD, team development, and talent management experience into her consulting practice. We have collaborated on many assignments for senior R&D, Marketing and Sales executives within the pharmaceutical industry and achieved excellent results in a wide range of complex assignments. This includes executive coaching, team development, and culture change. Ilene possesses excellent diagnostic, problem-solving and group facilitation skills. She is also certified in numerous instruments and has access to a diverse set of assessment tools that are helpful to develop “customized” solutions to complicated OD or executive development issues. Most notable, Ilene is extremely customer-focused and strives to exceed customer expectations in every assignment she pursues.”

“I would strongly recommend Ilene Patasnik as an executive development specialist.  I had the pleasure of working with Ilene in an executive coaching capacity and learned a great deal from the experience. Ilene easily built trust with me, did an excellent job at administering and analyzing the 360 feedback results, and provided excellent interview feedback. Together, we created a Development Plan that focused on a few targeted areas of opportunity with the highest impact. I am pleased to say that I still apply the tools and techniques learned through this executive coaching experience today and try to apply them to successfully coach my own team members as well. Ilene and I have remained colleagues for over 5 years and I still feel comfortable calling her for career advice today.”

“Ilene Patasnik has a unique talent for building high trust relationships that lead to rewarding executive coaching and team development experiences.  She has access to many assessment tools and uses them to support her excellent diagnostic and coaching skills. Her professionalism, passion, and ability to relate to senior management sets her apart from most consultants doing similar work as she is able to uncover the most important leadership issues that may be holding a person back. In addition, she fully believes that capitalizing on a person’s strengths is one of their greatest coaching opportunities.  I would highly recommend her as an executive coach.”
