Sam Palazzolo, CPLP, PCC’s Summary

Pathos Leadership Group is known as the "Home of the Influential Edge!" to our clients. Why the home of the "influential edge" and how do our clients receive it?

We discovered a little known study by social-psychologists that acts as the foundation for all that we do... Our programs/processes are based on science, not "hot" trends!

We serve our clients through our Business Coaching (Executive Coaching), Leadership Development programs and Speaking engagements.

When our clients are in competitive business situations (and who's not in today's business climate?), they succeed both professionally as well as personally! Reach out to me at info@pathosleadershipgroup.com to discover more about strategically partnering with us.

President & Chief Influence Officer

Pathos Leadership Group

(Management Consulting industry)

March 2005 — Present (4 years 9 months)

Sam is President and Chief Influence Officer at Pathos Leadership Group, where a client said that we're the home of the influential edge! We deliver this "influential edge" through our Business & Executive Coaching, Leadership Development programs and our Speaking engagements. In 2008, after interviewing 3,000+ business leaders, Sam had his first book published. Titled “The Influential Leader" it identified the 10 most critical skills that these leaders possessed which they perceived allowed them to succeed, and more importantly without them they would certainly fail.

Sam has also authored "Influential Sales" (2009) which is a more in-depth look at one of the most important skills identified in "The Influential Leader" and "Communicate with Influence" (Due out 2010), identified as the foundation for all success! His leadership articles have also been published in 100+ magazines.
