An interview with? Patrick Metzger ,?CEO & Founder, The Greenhouse
Our Core Focus at The Greenhouse is Growing Businesses & People to the Next Stage. Whether you are a new startup and building a foundation, growing and scaling your business or looking at exit or succession coming soon, our team and Strategic Partners help organizations, teams and individuals really blast through that ceiling and moving forward through customized coaching, consulting and training. I’m lucky in that I’m not only guiding our team and the direction of our organization, but I’m also right in the weeds working hand-in-hand with our clientele on a daily basis.
Q: What do you love about what you do?
Hands down, the best part about my role and the impact The Greenhouse is making is seeing the success of our clients. Most of them are coming to us after trying multiple other options unsuccessfully, so when we can help them smash through that ceiling it’s extremely rewarding and fulfilling for not only them, but just as much for our team.
Q: What has your career path looked like?
Before getting into professional business coaching, I spent over a decade as a public school teacher. Shortly after leaving education, I started my own health and wellness coaching and consulting business. Over time, that business morphed from health and wellness to holistic life coaching. Finally, it then shifted into more 1:1 high-performance coaching, ultimately landing on what I do now in working with leadership teams across the country.
Q: The Chamber has been going through EOS with you for over a year. How has that process been from your perspective?
No doubt, the openness and communication around issues and then acting on those items has reached a new level of success. Team health is THE most important factor for high-performing teams, and it’s been so fun coaching and guiding The Chamber team through the tough conversations and difficult decisions that all organizations face.
A one-of-a-kind Women Connect experience
Last week's Intentional Collisions event

Thank you to all of our mentors for taking on a leadership role. Thank you to? The Pines Weddings & Events for a stunning venue and fantastic food. Thank you to all Women Connect program sponsors who make impactful events like this possible!
Keep your momentum going, and join us at our next Women Connect event on?April 25.
