For more than 20 years, Patrick has worked with leaders, organisations and high performers across business and elite sport, helping turn behaviour into stronger cultures and better performance.

Work with Patrick

People drive performance.

Organisations do not change because a strategy is presented. They change when people change how they think, lead and behave.

Patrick Sackner helps leaders and teams strengthen the culture behind performance through practical leadership development, behavioural insight and The Nordic Leadership Spiral. From behaviour to culture. From culture to performance.

What people say

Nadja Kowalschi
Financial Advisor, COWI

I really liked the presentation, Patrick's energy, and people skills in general. My main takeaways are that we are working with people, and we need to use the positivity to increase our productivity. We should smile much more, and I need to sleep more. Oh, and I really liked Patrick's shoes. 

Christine Søndermark​
Head of Competences in Arkitema-Cowi

Patrick comes to his classes in Projekteringsledelse /Engineering management extremely well prepared and with commitment and empathy for the participants' reality. Patrick's experience and overview of leadership move participants forward quickly. The participants leave with rich benefit and can immediately use DISC as a tool in their daily work as project managers.

Mark Krämer
Head of Marketing, Sparinvest

We had the pleasure of Sackner at a full day seminar in Sales, where Patrick throughout the day ensured a high and good energy level. Patrick had become well acquainted with our company and needs, and was extremely well prepared to hit us with useful and relevant examples and exercises.

Simon Kruse
Head of Digital, Maersk

Have a team of highly dedicated colleagues that due to a constant change of management and direction had lost a bit of their otherwise high level of self motivation. Patrick did a fabulous job of assisting them back on track.

The Nordic Leadership Spiral

Grounded in decades of experience advising executive leaders, developing culture, and coaching elite athletes across the Nordic region.

Blends insights from positive psychology, sports psychology and lived leadership, translated into everyday practice.

The six layers

  • Psychological Safety
  • Relationships
  • Recognition
  • Ownership
  • Purpose
  • Empowerment

Each chapter builds on the one before it. Reflection becomes action. Action becomes results.
