“Patricio led a group of fellow CEO’s (YPO members) and I through a two day retreat. We had asked Patricio to guide us through a program that would be focused on personal development to empower corporate leadership. The mindfulness program that he created was engaging and informative. His experience as a CEO garnered a great level of confidence among the group and his personal story provided a great point of reference. Our group continues to meet and we rely on our experience on a move forward basis.”

“The Instructor was incredible – engaging and knowledgeable. He presented the materials in ways we understood and it was very relatable to life moving forward.”
“The quality of instruction was excellent, well presented with sample stories that were relevant to make a point. I learned to slow myself down and be aware and focused on the “present”. The book is a great reinforcement of the teaching.”
