As an award-winning professional photographer, Patrick Jinks learned the value of viewing challenges through the right lenses to achieve success. After a successful 22-year career in nonprofit leadership, Patrick changed lenses to serve the sector from another perspective. Today, through his company (The Jinks Perspective), he coaches and trains leaders in both the social and corporate sectors, with a unique approach focused on clarity, simplicity, and alignment. Patrick is a member of the National Association of Experts, Writers, and Speakers. As a certified coach, Patrick is featured in 2018 as a GameChanger(R) and a Master of Success(R) in forthcoming editions of USA Today and The Wall Street Journal respectively. His fresh take on nonprofit strategy and leadership through The Strategic Coaching Continuum(TM) is featured this year on Success Today, for CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox affiliates across the country. Patrick is a regular contributor to Forbes.com as a member of the Forbes Coaches Council. He is an adjunct executive coach and trainer with Leadership Systems, Inc., and a certified Influencer(TM) trainer with VitalSmarts(R). Patrick's rapid success as a coach for nonprofits earned him a spot as keynote speaker at the 2017 Global LEAP Summit, and an invitation to co-author Taking the Leap: How to Build a World-Class Coaching Business, along with such master coaches as Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Thompson, Marc Steinberg, and Chicken Soup for the Soul creator Jack Canfield.
