What is Employee Engagement?

HINT: It is NOT the same as Job Satisfaction!

At The Jinks Perspective, we define Employee Engagement as:

"A measure of the level of intellectual, physical, and emotional commitment an employee demonstrates toward the organization and its mission."

In other words, it's about what they GIVE -- Not what they GET.

Understanding Employee Engagement is the first step toward improving it!

Gayle Aycock, LRADAC  

As an Engage to Exceed coach, Patrick goes far beyond being a presenter. He interacts with and coaches his audiences, draws out their best thinking, and leads them to meaningful action.

Timothy Ervolina, Ervolina Associates, Inc.

The Jinks Perspective's workshop on how to engage other leaders attracted more than 80 nonprofit leaders from across Upstate South Carolina. Talk about engagement! The audience was highly engaged throughout the session, as Patrick used a diverse set of teaching methods to keep them energized and inspired.

Patrick is versatile and skilled at getting to the core of complex issues and engaging participants.

Debbie Nelson, DNA Creative Communications 

Patrick Jinks has served as one of our adjunct coaches here at Leadership Systems, Inc. (LSI) since 2010. Today, he is one of our most active coaches and trainers, coaching executive leaders at large corporations across the southeast.

As a coach and trainer for The Center for Creative Leadership for nearly 3 decades, I know world‐class facilitation when I see it. Patrick is adaptable to virtually any training or coaching setting, and gives dedicated attention to his (and our) clients. He is no cookie‐cutter trainer or facilitator.

Dr. Jim Smith, Leadership Systems, Inc. 

Several years ago, I engaged Patrick as my executive coach. Within just a few sessions, the experience elevated my leadership. In fact, the coaching from Patrick prompted me to bring Patrick to train a group of our managers in Nashville on the method and culture of coaching. What a difference it has made!

The Jinks Perspective is exactly that. A fresh perspective on leadership that sparks critical thinking, innovation, and inspiration.

“The Jinks Perspective understands that process alone will never produce results. They will help you and your team stay focused on action — what needs to happen next, and who is going to accomplish it. Patrick is not just a leadership coach: he’s a leader who models the leadership that he helps others achieve. There are a lot of trainers out there, most of whom are only good at reading Powerpoint slides and handing out photocopied worksheets, in a kind of corporate version of a middle school math class. Patrick distills the essence of a curriculum and gets participants to make it their own.”
