Patricia Addesso has worked for over 20 years in retail, academic and telecommunications
organizations. She has a doctorate in Industrial/ Organizational Psychology, and is
well-grounded in the theory of human behavior at work. In addition, she has held
management positions in three companies, and thus "speaks the language" of upper

consulting style.

involved in managing mergers, acquisitions, and other large-scale organizational changes,
and is currently involved in projects such as strategic planning, personality assessments,
and helping organizations through executive transitions.
She builds executive, management and work teams through personality assessment and
alignment with the characteristics of high-performing teams. She also provides workshops
in areas such as conflict resolution, stress management, and project planning.
She has worked with such diverse clients as AirTouch Cellular, National Legal Aid and
