You're an okay manager, but you want to take your leadership skills to the next level. You want to be the kind of leader people look up to - the kind who truly inspires, engages, and transforms.


I get it, and that’s not an overly ambitious goal – that reality is within your reach.

I wrote The Consummate Leader: a Holistic Guide to Inspiring Growth in Others…and in Yourself for people like you. Leaders (or leaders-to-be) who don’t just want to go through the motions of directing their departments and getting things done, but instead, want to accomplish big goals in an environment that enables teams to flourish, with a sense excitement and energy about work that is contagious.


Drawing on my years of experience as a corporate psychologist, executive coach, university instructor, therapist, and researcher, I put my best knowledge, experiences, and strategies into the book, to change the way people approach leadership and life. I’m so proud of this book, and have been humbled by the wonderful feedback it has received. Read below to learn more about it.



Exceptional leaders inspire others to dream, fill them with a sense of passion, and expertly guide the way to achieving outstanding results.


Yet, as we strive to move and motivate people in our given fields, many of us are unsure of how to best develop the untapped potential in others…as well as in ourselves.






In The Consummate Leader, award-winning corporate psychologist and management consultant Dr. Patricia Thompson transforms uncertainty into confidence, drawing on both scientific research and her decade-long experience advising senior leaders. In this holistic and interactive guide to professional development, she illustrates the seven keys to becoming an impeccable leader, including how to:


-Achieve heightened self-awareness to affect the way you influence


-Build a happiness toolbox to bring joy to yourself and those around you


-Care for your whole self first as a hallmark of effecting positive change


-Embrace your own authenticity to allow others to embrace their own


-Foster positive relationships in the workplace that promote greater productivity – and job satisfaction


In her accessible and often humorous style – utilizing notable lessons from Nelson Mandela to SpongeBob SquarePants – Thompson reveals why truly outstanding leaders not only focus on strategy, metrics, and execution, they also tend to their minds, bodies, and spirits. Chock-full of real-life examples, thought-provoking exercises, and personal stories, The Consummate Leader is an indispensable book that will reshape the way you approach leadership – and life.
