Who We are
Patricia Sargent
I believe we only truly thrive together.
Over the years, both my life and my work have rooted me deeply in the importance of connection, curiosity, and community. With more than 25 years in leadership development, I have spent much of my career helping people grow, lead, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. That experience taught me a great deal about leadership, but even more about people.
My connection to service and community has also been shaped by my work alongside veterans, nonprofits, and human-centered organizations. Those experiences deepened my belief that people need to feel seen, heard, and supported in order to grow. They reminded me that behind every challenge, every transition, and every organization, there are human beings longing for clarity, belonging, and a way forward.
The work I do is grounded in a simple truth: we grow by cultivating the seeds of connection. When people feel connected to themselves, to each other, and to the purpose behind what they are building, they are far more able to lead, heal, and create lasting impact.
Through CHIA Consulting, I help founders, leaders, nonprofits, and human-centered organizations stay connected to who they are while building what comes next. My passion is helping people move from values to action, from vision to alignment, and from possibility to meaningful growth.
