Patrick Kilner
Patrick Kilner is the author of “Find Your Six” (a #1 new release on Amazon), a speaker, and a businessman. He’s created and led three companies, collectively the Kilner Companies: two in real estate, and one in training services. Over two decades as a real estate agent and entrepreneur, Pat realized that traditional models of transactional lead generation weren’t fit for the modern world. Searching for an answer to propel his businesses to new heights, he studied the philosophies that have governed business for thousands of years, and landed on one simple principle: a network of trusted influencers will always be a professional’s biggest asset. Seeking to re-introduce this approach to a business world driven by cold calling, forced networking, and other impersonal tactics, Pat developed the Find Your Six framework for building a network of trusted influencers, and becoming an influencer yourself.
Outside of his work to redefine influence, Pat is enthusiastic about giving back to the community. He is the co-founder of the DC Accelerator, a young professional development non-profit. His companies support the special needs community in the DC area, and in Jamaica. Pat also serves on the boards of primary education initiatives, and volunteers his time to develop strategic plans for nonprofits focused on inner-city DC youth. Pat resides in suburban Washington, DC with his wife, Elena, and their children.
