The Coaching Authority was born from a simple observation:
“Most organizations don’t fail because people don’t care.
They fail because leaders aren’t taught how to lead.”

How it all started
After more than 23 years leading large-scale operations and transformation projects for companies like American Airlines and Citigroup, Pat Frazier saw the same patterns emerging across a variety of industries: talented people trapped in broken systems, unclear expectations, inconsistent execution, and leadership teams stretched thin by daily emergencies.
Pat knew there was a better way.
In 2005, that conviction led Pat into full-time executive coaching, where he has since trained with — and been certified by — some of the most respected coaching bodies in the country. His approach blends the rigor of Gazelles and LEAN, the depth of Trusted Advisors and Gravitas, and the practical, results-driven systems taught by the Total Quality Institute and Resource Associates.
This broad foundation gives Pat something rare in the coaching world: the ability to draw from multiple disciplines while keeping leaders focused on what actually moves a business forward — clarity, alignment, and disciplined execution. His approach is direct, focused, and deeply practical:
“Leadership isn’t about charisma. It’s about clarity, accountability, and consistent action.”
Today, Pat has coached over 1,000 leaders and more than 100 companies, helping organizations strengthen their teams, scale confidently, and build leadership pipelines that last. And he continues to operate from a core set of values:
There’s always a better way—find it.
Simplicity is power.
Work is sacred—treat it with honor.
The right process leads to the right result.
This isn’t theoretical coaching.
It’s leadership you can use on Monday morning. And it’s why clients across automotive retail, healthcare, logistics, software, and professional services trust Pat to help them build teams and systems that win.
How it works
The Problem
Organizations struggle not because of weak talent — but because leaders lack clarity, alignment, and disciplined execution.
Margin pressure, turnover, inconsistent performance, and stalled growth are symptoms of a leadership system that isn’t working.
The Approach
Pat brings the discipline of an operator and the insight of a coach. His method integrates:
Strategic clarity
Communication frameworks
Leadership development
Accountability systems
Repeatable operating rhythms
The result? Leaders who think clearly, lead confidently, and execute consistently.
The Outcomes
Across 100+ companies, Pat’s clients routinely achieve:
Double-digit performance improvements
Stronger bench strength and leadership pipelines
Higher profitability and predictable growth
Improved customer loyalty and team engagement
Reduced turnover and operational friction
