Patricia Mulholland

Patricia has been an advocate of the arts all her life, whether it be on the stage, in the classroom, the corporation, the community, or the clinical setting. She began her affiliation with the Ariel Group in 1993 and has led leadership development and communication programs for many organizations world-wide including Deloitte, Capital One, General Electric, American Express, Merrill Lynch, Société Generale, Praxair and the Executive Education programs at Harvard, Columbia, Duke and Northwestern Universities. In addition to her work with The Ariel Group, Patricia served as Director of Curriculum for The Saltwater Institute from 2001-2004.

Patricia holds a Master of Arts Degree in Theater and Interpretation from Northwestern University and has trained extensively with the Roy Hart Theatre in France. A frequent presenter at the Women in Management Conference in Maine, she is also adjunct faculty at Maine College of Art. She maintains a consulting practice through Programs in Expressive Learning, working with individuals and groups on voice and presentation preparation and delivery.

Patricia has performed widely in the theatre including an original one-woman show, Emily Dickinson: The Woman, The Poet. She may be heard on the audio book, I Only Say This because I Love You, by Deborah Tannen. Her love of music led her to music therapy training at Berklee College of Music, where she has won awards for her songwriting. Her CD, “Coming Home,” includes her original compositions.

On her own time, Patricia enjoys volunteering at nursing homes, where she sings standards with her band, Aiko and Friends. She is the proud mother of two grown sons: Patrick, a professional violinist and Ashley, a student in medical school.
