What others say

"We all have a story. Every story is on a journey. And every journey, at some point, needs a map, an advisor and perhaps a guide. Those rare individuals, like Jonathan, possess a natural talent to see opportunity way before most of us see it.   I can't think of a better map maker and guide than Jonathan Pool. He possesses the rare combination of insightful question asking, inquisitive listening, strategic thinking, and a heart to help individuals and organizations discover and live their purpose. If you need a map and guide, connect with Jonathan. You won't be disappointed."
Pete Richardson | Senior Facilitator - The Paterson Process
 
"Jonathan is an intense, life-obsessed, I'm gonna cheer you on to your best life kind of guy. I love his energy, compassion, and his restlessness not to live a mediocre life. If you spend any time with him your life will be better for it."
Dan Webster | Founder - Authentic Leadership, Inc.

“By nature, we all tend to live imbalanced lives. LifePlanning is a tool for reorganizing your life around what really matters. Tom Paterson’s LifePlan process was so helpful to me that I insisted all my senior staff go through the process.”
Rick Warren | Author "The Purpose Driven Life"

“This process allowed me to discover who I really am and somehow moved me to a place of freedom to be the real me -- to pursue those things I am designed for with confidence. It brought amazing clarity to how God has shaped me throughout my entire life. I have never been more encouraged and full of life.”
Leighton Crick

“What I appreciate most in this process is how Jonathan listens, and discerns patterns, needs, and strengths. What I am too familiar with, neglect to see or dismiss entirely as unimportant, Jonathan does see, and helped point out the dream that God put in my heart. Thank you for helping me to see what God is creating in me and in us. I feel that it has given us a tremendous advantage in our marriage.”
Gina Crick

“The LifePlan process has provided a great perspective on my current job situation, which has helped to boost my effectiveness and confidence. Identifying my core talents has also provided ideas for alternatives I could pursue in the future. The exercise has been beneficial for my personal life in identifying items to help with the often elusive overall life balance”
William Clikeman | Senior Engineer, The Chrysler Corporation

"Showed me there is a reason I am the way I am"


"I loved the energy from the instructor and the participation of the group


"Excellent course. I will recommend this course to friends."


"It wasn't a rigid lecture format. The facilitator wanted us to think and discuss. He was genuinely happy when we'd come up with good ideas


"I gained a different perspective on how to approach my life / vocation quest."

"The Paterson Process allows you to, in a systematic way, identify all the critical elements necessary for the success of a project, explain it to upper management for approval, and communicate it to the project team. After an intense 2 days, we walked away with an action plan that could easily have taken us a month to formulate on our own"
Ben Randazzo | Director of International Sales, W.W. Grainger, Inc.
 

“The key to the Paterson Process is its simplicity. With a reasonable amount of training, the process can be used to analyze virtually any business question. It uses the collective wisdom of those who are closest to the business to focus the issues and set the priorities for moving forward. It’s a proven winner!"
Thomas Bennett| Retired President and CEO, Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Co.

“Tom's [Paterson] process is, in my opinion, unmatched. Tom's unique Convergence methodology brings his participants up to the ’40,000 foot’ level. Tom’s approach is not prescriptive; rather, it addresses the collective wisdom and develops a plan to which the team is totally committed, having full pride of authorship and ownership. Tom is a master at what he does so well…he has very effectively taught others to emulate his approach by skillfully embracing the basic tenets of the methodology."
Gary Liebl| Chairman of the Board, Artisoft, Inc.

“I have used the Paterson Process to launch a new project to develop and promote pre-engineered pumping packages. This particular project has been addressed numerous times in the past without success. By using the Paterson Process we have gained true perspective which has enabled us to identify the core issues which need to be addressed in order to realize the vision we established.” 
Bert Elfers| Manager Business Development, Fluid Products Division - The Aro Corporation

"This is going to help me so much!  I don't think I'm going to have any more Sunday afternoon anxiety about school since I did my LifePlan."
Peter Andreasson - age 11 |  LifePlan principles for kids participant
