MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Patty Azzarello
Business Executive. Consultant. Author. Speaker. Executive Career Guide. CXO whisperer.
This unique Masterclass gives your team an opportunity to learn direcly from a CEO (me) who built her career from the ground up. I created this practical program to share the roadmap -- the insights, hazards and real-world examples and techniques that will enable your leaders to succeed at the executive level.
Why this class
There is not another program out there that specifically prepares your managers to be ready to lead transformation and scale in such a practical way.
This Masterclass provides the roadmap to success as an executive, and the guide to overcome obstacles and landmines along the way -- things most people only learn from a trusted executive mentor.
The class is delivered in 22 video modules so you can roll it out to your team on a flexible schedule, and reach your remote sites at no extra cost.
There are 3 key areas you need to include in your leaders’ executive education to help them effectively to scale up, and to have the skills and confidence to lead business execution and build high performing teams...

You need to chart, align (and stay focused on) a clear and executable strategy; to optimize your management team for the future; and to engage, develop and motivate employees to move the business forward.

What Organization Leaders Say...
Saar Shwartz: CMO BMC Software
Just put my team through this Patty Azzarello leadership training and the thank you notes keep overwhelming my inbox. I’ve been following Patty for over ten years and can honestly attribute my ongoing career growth to her insights. In my humble opinion, she is the best leadership and career development authority in market.
Patty relates to her audience by the fact that she has led many high-performing functions in sales, marketing, R&D, and general business. Her product is a profound yet practical, “next day” applicable framework with plenty of real world examples of do’s and don’ts. Her style is very approachable, and she is using humor in a way that creates an instant connection with her audience.
I have a very demanding and experienced team that often think that they know it all and have heard it all, all of which walked away from this experience extremely grateful and excited about what they can do different in their roles.
I will be more than happy to take calls or answer any questions from anyone interested!
Greg Austin: Head of Marketing
My team has more than doubled in size which brought new challenges in how we had to think about and scale our work.
Patty was instrumental in 4 major areas: Understanding and setting Ruthless Priorities, organizing around those priorities, how we engage our team so that they feel empowered and excited, and also how to effectively and credibly partner with other business leaders across the company.
Patty helped us shape how we think about our work in these 4 areas in a way that is authentic and also fun. I also can’t stress enough how pragmatic Patty is and how practical and usable the insights she put into this class are. She forces you to think through the implications of how you are actually going to DO something. So the outcomes are very tangible.
The impact is that we are more focused on our Ruthless Priorities, less distracted, and more clear about our values and how we as a management team show up to each other and our stakeholders. I can’t encourage enough, working with Patty based on the impact the topics in this Masterclass have had with me and my team. Contact Patty if you want to talk to me, Happy to!

Susan Poser, Sr. Director
“Patty’s Business Leadership Masterclass is a must for any manager trying to grow in their career. I have been managing people for years and didn’t think there would be anything I haven’t heard or done, but I was wrong. I walked away with pages and pages of notes with insightful tips and practical ideas from Patty that are easy to implement right away! I lead a geographically dispersed, virtual team and Patty had some great ideas on team building activities that could be done virtually! Love it! I highly recommend this program for anyone serious about improving themselves and their management skills.”
"A career transformation"
Steve Diamond, Sr. Director
This class helped transform my career when I most needed it. I didn’t feel like I was growing. I was working in a corporate culture where it was very difficult to grow or change course.
Using what’s in the class, I gained the confidence and the skills I needed, and was able to transform my career, and I have continued to advance.
The MOVE Model in this Class
The content in this class for driving strategic change and leading business execution is based on the MOVE model as described in my best selling book MOVE.
M is for the MIDDLE. After all the planning, the exciting kick-off, and definition of inspiring end goals, all strategies share a Middle, where everyhting needs to happen but where new initiatives tend to stall. As leaders we must guide our teams to stay focused and motivated through the long, hazardous Middle.
O is for Organization. There is no antidote for the wrong team. We must build the team we NEED not just make do with the TEAM we have.
V is for Valor. Leadership is hard. We need to deal with our insecurities and fears and make tough decisions and tradeoffs if we want our strategy to succeed.
E is for Everyone. You can lead a transformation from the top but you can't DO a transformation from the top. You need to get the whole organization motivated and engaged and moving forward together.
