A Legacy of Clarity.
A Future of Impact.
At Paterson, our work is more than a process - it’s a legacy.
A legacy that began with Tom Paterson, a visionary whose fingerprints are on culture itself - from innovations like the ATM to the design of Space Mountain. But his greatest creation wasn’t a technology or a theme park - it was a process that helped people discover why they are alive.
For decades, leaders sought out Tom’s guidance, arriving at a crossroads - searching for their purpose, their next step, their highest contribution. And time and again, his process delivered.
Tom knew his worked couldn’t end with him. The impact had to grow beyond one person. What began as his personal calling became something greater - Paterson, an organization dedicated to helping thousands of individuals and organizations uncover their true path.
The Work Continues.
The Impact Grows.
For over 50 years, the processes - Paterson LifePlan® and Paterson StratOp® - have transformed lives and organizations. They are not bound by a single person. They are built to endure, to be trusted by leaders, teams, and individuals seeking clarity, alignment, and impact.
The baton has been passed, but the mission remains.
