Testimonials
"I found your podcast refreshingly critical, integrating diverse aspects of a challenging topic in an insightful and deservedly provocative way. Your voice is a rare example of eloquent leadership that advocates for what physicians truly need; a voice that competently integrates a large body of literature and other information where others fail to do so and subsequently takes that knowledge to the next level."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Patty Fahy over many years on a variety of mission-critical initiatives including executive team restructuring and coaching, and consulting with our Board of Directors on a variety of human resources and organizational development issues. She has extraordinary insight into human behavior and is able to make quick connections to help people navigate through complex situations. There has been a long-term ROI on the work she has done."

"I’ve had plenty of experiences with leadership training in the past, but Patty and Lynn were the first instructors that helped me connect emotionally to the material. Through their instruction, I learned how to communicate in a way that both utilizes my strengths and recognizes the differences in the ways we listen. I feel like I have a much better framework to solve disputes and to engage my staff."

"As a department chair I needed a place to turn for assistance with one of my most critical departments. Patty and Lynn swept in, and in 4 sessions, they worked with the group to identify its mission and values, select an interim leadership team, rebuild relationships based on trust and respect, and improve performance. The initial results were surprisingly quick, and they have been sustained. Patty and Lynn gave us the insight we needed, and backed it up with some tough love at key moments to keep everyone on track. Once the lessons were learned, the group was given the tools it needed to maintain momentum."

"In my first experience coaching with Lynn, it felt good to have someone listen to me, hear my internal struggles, and to help me figure out who I am. As a result, I felt inspired, more confident and less defensive, which I think helped me to engage and open up more."

Senior Director

"The “alpha” change agent from Colorado. Patty is the most courageous physician leader I have ever known. She took on difficult issues and conversations as a full time clinician. She was defiantly true to the needs of her patients. She was the first addition to my team and she engineered the human resources component of our work, which was by far the most important. Patty was revered as a physician, but she “wrote the book” on human resources leadership by physicians. Patty was a constant confidant and teacher to me and is smart, honest, courageous, and principled. A unique part of the Colorado story."

"Dr. Fahy and Ms. Elliott exceeded my expectations by providing a complete assessment, a comprehensive report with clear and direct recommendations, expert meeting facilitation and valuable advice and coaching. I appreciated the thoughtfulness, professionalism, and timeliness with which they assisted me and my executive team."

"Patty and Lynn introduced their neuroscience of leadership model (called “CARB”) and I used it immediately in my office practice and in working with the Associates and Physicians throughout my East Texas area of operations. I provided more “Clarity” and “Autonomy” and was amazed at the immediate improvement in my interactions with the staff.
I use the materials from the course regularly to remind myself of the important principles and practical techniques included in the course. I very much appreciate the expertise that Fahy Consulting brought to our organization with their leadership development program. Patty and Lynn build great relationships and go over the top to support physician leaders."
