Patricia Byron

Patricia is a full-time coach and lecturer in leadership. As a former senior executive in Financial Services, Patricia has climbed many mountains throughout her career. She launched her Financial Services career in a world coloured with red ties and blue pinstripe suits in the city of London during the late 1980s. Finding herself positioned in a predominantly male environment became one of her greatest learning opportunities. She realised that women in business have to take greater risks to succeed and have the confidence to break through the glass ceiling. Patricia started to mentor and develop those females on her team who rose through the ranks behind her.

Returning to Ireland in the 1990s, she became involved with training and education with individuals working in the Financial Services industry. She loved the classroom and all the development and learning it brought. Her journey has provided he with a Master’s in Learning and Teaching, Diploma in Executive Coaching and Diploma in Corporate Wellbeing.

Patricia's passion is supporting females (Nextgen to CEO level) in the workplace to step up into new and exciting leadership positions with the knowledge that they have the ability and only require a sounding board or some direction. As a full-time Coach and Lecturer in Leadership (UCD Professional Academy), she supports women to transform and transition into Senior Leadership roles.
