A brief history…
Seventeen years into her highly successful career with AT&T, Patti Cain-Stanley was sitting at the top of her professional game. While she loved her job, she wanted more. Born into a long lineage of entrepreneurs, she knew that running her own business was what she was meant to do. In 2000, she leapt into entrepreneurship, leaving behind the senior leadership roles and corporate stability she had always known. Cain-Stanley & Company was born.
For the next 12 years, executives from companies leaned on Patti to help them grow their business by growing themselves and their team. Sharing powerful insights, strategies, and tools, Patti equipped her clients to break through roadblocks and maximize their leadership potential.
In 2013, the demand for services was beyond her capacity so Patti invited in her first coach and consultant. Today, the Cain-Stanley & Co. team includes 5 management and 10 coaches/consultants with outstanding corporate development track records. Our team has developed leaders for numerous companies including Raytheon, Mattel, UCLA, Cisco, Wells Fargo, Walt Disney and Verizon, to name a few.
Our central tenet is this: leadership transcends everything. When you and your team invest in leadership, performance follows and employees and clients reward you with loyalty, both to you and your company.
