Patrice Dawkins-Jackson, CAPM

Founder & CEO,
Finish What You Started

Meet Our Founder & CEO

Patrice Dawkins-Jackson founded Finish What You Started with one goal: to help executive leaders lead change without leaving people behind. With a career spanning leadership development, organizational strategy, and cross-sector transformation work, Patrice brings both head and heart to the table.

She understands that transitions aren’t just operational—they’re deeply human. Patrice helps clients navigate complexity with empathy, clarity, and structure. She created the Change With(in)™ Framework to address what traditional models miss: the psychological safety, emotional shifts, and strategic use of resistance that make or break change.

As a certified project manager and trusted facilitator, Patrice combines rigor with relational intelligence. She knows how to hold space for tough moments—and how to turn resistance into real insight. Whether she’s guiding a CEO through a fractured team or facilitating cultural alignment post-merger, Patrice’s approach is grounded, collaborative, and transformational.

Her promise? You’ll never be alone in this work. She’ll help you lead from within—and finish what you started.
