I help leaders and teams find a way through adversity so they can perform when it matters most
ABOUT PATRICK
Hard-earned resilience. Practical leadership.
After surviving a life-altering gunshot wound while serving as a U.S. Marine, Patrick Nugent spent nearly two years rebuilding at Walter Reed. What followed was more than recovery—it became a field-tested education in resilience, purpose, and leadership.
Today, Patrick translates that experience into practical tools that help leaders and teams navigate adversity, take ownership, and perform under pressure.
