Meet Patrick Coggins
Executive advisor. Leadership speaker. Creator of Sotchoku.
I help executive teams and finance leaders unlock the performance potential hiding behind avoided conversations. As co-founder of CFO’s Domain and creator of the Sotchoku framework, I’ve spent over two decades advising leaders at the intersection of accountability and culture.
My journey began in finance search, where for 20+ years I helped companies identify and hire world-class finance talent. I saw firsthand how the right person in the right role could elevate an entire business—but also how quickly performance could falter in a culture where truth was avoided, conflict was mismanaged, or trust had eroded.
That insight changed everything for me.
Today, I focus not just on the talent that drives results, but the culture that sustains them. I work with leadership teams to build environments where people speak candidly, listen openly, and lead with clarity and respect. Through keynotes, workshops, and the Sotchoku framework, I help leaders hold the conversations they’ve been avoiding—because that’s where performance, alignment, and transformation begin.
