"Working with Pat, I've been able to overcome mid-career roadblocks that have kept me from developing and taking the next steps to grow in my career. Pat's listening abilities and intuitive nature helped me re-establish my drive to develop, understand what my true goals were, and find contentment in all aspects of my life. Pat has this ability to identify problems that even I didn't initially acknowledge. HIs insightful guidance has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. My family life and career have flourished with the tools and advice he has given me. I cannot recommend his services enough. I wish everyone had a Pat Pilola in their corner. He's the complete package: professional, insightful, and effective.!"

"You are one of the most kind and caring people and it was an absolute honor working for and with you. You’re leaving a large footprint behind not only for the agency but all of those people that you’ve influenced through your career. You were such a positive impact on me and my career and I don’t think I’d be where I am without you taking the time and caring about me! I have sat with many of my team members and used the same matrixes and methodologies that you taught me to help lay out their future path and changes required to get there...."

"Pat was one of the first leaders I supported as a little baby HR practitioner.... How lucky was I to have Pat as a partner, and a leadership example. Pat's ... phone extension is one of two that I still know by heart--and will likely never, ever forget. ... I hope you are immensely proud of the legacy you leave."

"Mr. Pat Pilola acted as my mentor and professional coach for a short time in my professional life. His guidance has impacted my career like no other person. He helped me explore and focused on understanding my strengths and weaknesses while striking the right balance between personal and professional goals. He showed patience, dedication, along with great listening skills and a willingness to share his personal experiences. He is a very humble, very human and kind mentor and professional coach. He really cares and that is what makes him different. I went on to dare myself, took on assignments that eventually led me to a promotion, management and leadership. As a leader, I now pass onto others everything I learned from Pat."

"Of all the years that I have known Pat Pilola, there is no one that I can think of who has dedicated his work ethic towards the development of people. Since the first day of being my division chief at NASA Johnson Space Center, Pat focused his time and effort in connecting with people so that their career goals and objectives could be obtained. I can give positive testimony in saying that without Pat's patience and leadership, I would not have been successful in becoming an effective System's Engineer and Chief Engineer in the Orion Spacecraft Development Program. Whenever I went to Pat for mentoring and counseling, he ALWAYS made time for me and helped me to target writing down my career goals. I am forever grateful he took the time to encourage me to write down my goals. ALL leaders have goals, and Pat Pilola is the best at helping you find your career goals in life."
