Join Us in Remembering Pat Schuler
Pat Schuler was a sales and business coach whose wisdom, "Kick Butt" approach, and support transformed the businesses of many career practitioners. Pat passed away unexpectedly last week. As members of the Career Thought Leaders Board and those who knew Pat well reflect on her impact, common themes include the self-confidence and empowerment she encouraged from each individual she coached. She was vibrant proof of the power of great coaching.
Career Thought Leaders would like to honor Pat by supporting more career professionals who seek to embrace their own power. In the next few months, we'll be formalizing a scholarship to provide funds for a new business owner in the careers industry to have the transformational experience of working with a business coach. Watch for more details in early 2018. If you'd like to support the scholarship, you can purchase the session Pat offered for CTL this past June as all proceeds will be used as seed funding for the scholarship. If you want to participate in the effort or contribute, contact Marie for more information.
We are also asking for your assistance in continuing Pat's legacy by collecting stories from those who worked with her. If you have a story you'd like to share, please email it to marie@careerthoughtleaders.com or call the CTL toll-free number and we'll record and transcribe it for you.
To all our colleagues who knew Pat well and to her partner Brian, our thoughts are with you.
Sincerely, Marie Zimenoff
