Hi! My name is Pat Poyfair.
Welcome to my non-traditional resume.

I’m a Human Resources
Professional
I started my career as a journalist and never lost my love for carefully chosen and placed words when I received my Master’s of Human Resource Management degree and made the jump to building organizational and leadership systems at OC Tanner and CHG Healthcare Services.
& Organizational Development

Dr. Martin Luther King. Nelson Mandela. Gandhi. Mother Theresa. The Dalai Llama. Winston Churchill.
Each approached leadership from the same vantage point – they chose to serve their followers before becoming their leader. Their overwhelming success as leaders stemmed from their practice of standing shoulder to shoulder with those they led to achieve impossible results.
I believe great leadership begins with a desire to serve others

The corporate world has seen significant changes in the role leadership plays in relation to company culture and employee engagement. Today’s leaders must learn to emotionally connect with those they lead before they truly engage in the work they are hired to do.

Core values represent firmly held beliefs an organization embraces as necessary to grow their company in the way they see fit.
I believe individuals are effectively developed when core values are translated into behaviors that illustrate what each value looks like in action. Organizational development programs are then created to drive adoption of long-‐term characteristics aligned with these behaviors.
Armed with these foundational leadership insights, an organization is free to align performance management, talent acquisition and other HR functions to their unique set of values, behaviors and characteristics.
I build values-driven systems of organizational development

Whether it’s surfing, hula hooping or playing soccer, we learn best as we directly engage in the thing we set out to learn.
Likewise, effective organizational development occurs when participants get out of the classroom and perform the behaviors to be learned.
Coursework begins the learning process. Coaching and mentoring sessions bring examples and ideas to implement the concepts
Experiential learning assignments and opportunities drive comprehension and integration of an organizations core values, behaviors and characteristics.
I build development programs that focus on experiential learning

For eight years, I’ve collaborated with key HR executives and stakeholders in these, and many other organizations to strategize and develop world-‐class organizational development, leadership effectiveness and employee recognition strategies.

2012 BYU-‐Idaho Communications Day Presentation
Journalist: I spent the first decade of my career in telling stories via newspapers for audiences in Idaho and Utah at The Idaho Statesman and The Deseret News. Towards the end of my journalism career, my role shifted to include more editing, and creative focused projects. Blogger Even though I formally left the journalism world in 2005 – my love for writing was able to continue with the advent of blogging. I was called upon to write blog posts that dealt with Employee Engagement and Recognition best practice for O.C. Tanner’s corporate blog (Appreciating Great Work) as well as my personal business blog.
Speaker In addition to presenting training and coursework to the companies I’ve worked at, I also take time to speak to groups about recognition, learning, training and development best practices I’ve discovered during my career.

I look beyond the typical answers and methods when I lead the projects I’m tasked with. This approach fosters creativity and innovation in the deliverables my teams produce.
I am passionate about the projects and causes I lead – whether it’s designing leadership coaching systems, coaching girl’s competition soccer teams or training corporate executives to become world-‐class leaders through values-‐driven leadership behaviors.
I innovate

I lead project management efforts that create and implement recognition and leadership training programs efficiently and on deadline.

- Adrian Gostick
In 2007 I was hired by New York Times Bestselling authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton to help build ‘Carrot Cultures’ – or corporate environments where people are appreciated for the great work they do – in the clients OC Tanner did business with. While they wrote the Carrot books, I created a marketing strategy that brought the philosophy and award-‐winning leadership training to Fortune 500 clients, training and development trade shows as well as various professional and federal government training associations. I also created a series of public seminars held in cities throughout North America and Europe. We were able to turn modest profits in the first year of execution and have grown the scope and scale in subsequent years.
