 Patricia O
Founder & Senior Trainer

Scandinavian Roots

DARE's Scandinavian roots date back to 2001, when Patricia O founded her leadership and assessment consultancy in Copenhagen.

Today DARE is based in Belgium, serving first-class clients operating in a wide range of sectors.
As a professional nomad, Patricia is fluent in English, Dutch, French and Danish and works at local, European and global levels.
Patricia has a double master's degree in Psychology and in Architecture, but more importantly over 30 years of consulting and management experience.
As a behavioural expert, Patricia has dedicated her entire career to leadership, which she considers to be the toughest, most challenging yet rewarding mastery.
In her opinion, cohesive and competent leadership fuelled by vision, ambition, courage, empathy, and sustainable growth is the oiled engine of any future-proof company.

"I fully share DARE's convictions, values and motivations. A real match of what we believe in and stand for in our professional life.

I find the combination of live, digital and remote sessions - the hybrid model - really inspiring and I believe this is the most efficient and supportive approach to our present work culture. The hybrid way of working is thoroughly embedded into everyone’s life. The additional challenges and opportunities it brings to managers is substantial."

"As a consultancy that coaches and trains leaders to ensure the agility of organisations, Dare "practices what it preaches":
Empiricism, expertise and observations lead to insights that form the basis for new tools and concepts, which by definition are derived from, and adapted to an ever-changing world."

"I met Patricia some ten years ago when she was coaching me through professional change.

Since then we have had many opportunities to ex”change”, to dig deeper and to explore some topics further. I am thankful for her continuous partnership in my growth. The innovative hybrid leadership journey she has designed for DARE will surely be of tremendous support for many of us.

Happy and proud to be part of the DARE family!"
