Why I should consult, train and coach your teams:
Many years of planning and delivering events for many different organizations have taught me to rely on teams and leadership capability in order to get these events designed and executed successfully. Often, teams had to be formed and made highly productive in a matter of days. I have lived and worked with everything that I teach and my results speak for themselves.
“Patricia recruited and trained a team of volunteers, some from as far as Canada and India who provided valuable assistance before and during the events. The volunteer experience was such that many of the volunteers returned twice and even three times to help at these events.”
Sally Scott - CEPS Director of Finance and Administration
I consult, train and coach your team who is tasked to organize an event. I build and/or streamline your current event management processes so that they are efficient and sustainable for future events.
I coach the team to introduce all the factors that elevate an event from basic to memorable. Ask me for our Total Event Experience Model and why it works!
I introduce team building practices, communication, conflict resolution skills and leadership competencies – all of which are essential for the execution of an in-house event that energizes rather than depletes your team.
A great believer in the art of hosting a successful event, I train your team in the benefits of effective networking and how to implement it creating buy in for the event and a strong force working to showcase the best of your organization.
“I have had the opportunity of working with Patricia Toti at many different events. She has the remarkable ability to recruit and gain the loyalty of team members and I am always astounded by her ambitious ideas, her boundless energy, her creativity, and her fearless attitude in taking on new challenges. She is the hardest worker I know. In addition, she continually manages to come within budget by creative use of found and recycled materials. Patricia always exceeds expectations.”
Charlotte C - Volunteer
Delivery of Additional Workshops
Added to the consulting and training I deliver additional training workshops organization-wide on the topics as listed above. These workshops can be off-the-shelf or customized to suit your specific needs.
I take an active-learning approach in designing programs focused at unleashing a team’s full potential using the latest best-practices and research available for adult learning. My workshops are interactive, experiential and enable participants to integrate and apply their learning immediately. Learning-by-doing, fun and laughter are some of the hallmarks of my programs.
“Patricia handles her role as an excellent organizer, team building and logistics manager. I can recommend her highly for the organization of conferences.”
Karel Lannoo - CEPS Chief Executive
Full-Cycle Event Logistics
Our services offer wide and varied experience working with corporate, not-for-profits, associations and think tanks to deliver complex high-level conferences, business meetings, award ceremonies, fundraisers and other corporate events with many different moving parts. I adapt to your objectives, methodologies and choices – My expertise allows me to be agile and be able to work “with the flow” to develop and deliver from where you are.
I offer a range of event services, expertise and support to your existing event staff or utilize my own independent event team bringing experience, professionalism and a collaborative approach with full-service solutions, competence and impeccable attention to details because often, the smallest details make the biggest impression. Either way, you will have a sustainable event that works on every level.
I am just as professional and enthusiastic about a large conference as an intimate, small event – I work within your budget.
“Patricia is incredibly creative and I always wonder how she can make something so amazing from both a small and larger budget. I have seen Patricia use a variety of materials, recycled or new to produce focused themes for every event. She has constantly been on or under budget…She makes every dollar count…She is truly a leader, with compassion and passion for whatever she does. Her leadership skills have inspired me in the running of my business!”
Dr Florence Lockhart - Arbutus North Dental

“Patricia Toti has worked as the Logistics Lead for the five editions of the CEPS Ideas Lab which is CEPS’ annual flagship event from 2014 – 2018. She also organized logistics for the Berlin Ideas Lab, held alongside the Berlin G20 Meeting in November 2016, and for the Estonian Presidency Conference in December 2017…I would not hesitate to recommend Patricia as a conference organizer.”
Sally Scott - CEPS Director of Finance and Administration
“Patricia is one of those rare creative individuals who can take on any event and make it memorable.”
Kathy Kealey - York House School Deputy Head
Unflappable, I instinctively focus on what makes events work – regardless of last minute changes that may be required. Clear logistics, planning, creativity, attention to detail and environmental consciousness all translate into smooth processes and a memorable event. I know what works and I know what doesn’t.
