Patrick Mercie is a qualified Life, Career and Business Coach, Professional Speaker and Trainer who helps people create meaningful momentum in their careers, businesses and lives.
After a sting in corporate management, Patrick qualified as a coach in 2007, and works particularly with mid-career professionals, managers, leaders and business owners who find themselves at a crossroads, feeling stuck, questioning what comes next, or simply recognising that the way they have been working and living no longer works for them.
His approach is practical and grounded. Rather than telling people what they should do, Patrick helps them untangle what is really going on, understand what matters to them now, challenges assumptions and beliefs that may be holding them back, and make deliberate choices about what comes next.
At the heart of his work is a simple idea: you can ‘Have a life while making a living’. Career success and a good life do not have to be competing ambitions. Patrick's work explores how greater clarity, autonomy and intentional decision-making can help people build both. He guides clients to do this ‘Your Life, Your Way, Your Pace’.
Through The Intentional Academy, Patrick works with individuals and organisations via coaching, keynotes, workshops and facilitated programmes.
Originally from Belgium and long-term based in Ireland, Patrick brings a broad perspective to his work along with the persistence of someone who has completed 129 marathons and ultramarathons and still isn’t done with them.
