"Patty's own vast personal experience and her distinct narrative sets her apart as a personal coach.  She combines her natural talents of being empathetic, intelligent, and a really good listener while objectively showing you a picture of where you are, what you want to be and how to get there, effectively.   Her step-by-step approach makes your own work challenging, fun and fulfilling.  You are instantly empowered."   ~ Veena

"Patty's coaching techniques have helped me become more efficient and productive in both my personal and professional life."  ~ Scott 

"The committee's choice was outstanding.  Patty was a part of the entire morning,  greeting attendees, mingling with the crowd, the welcome speakers (UND First Lady and her husband, the UND President, the Grand Forks Mayor, the 2008 Athena Award winner event emcee, and our FCM Chairman), the exhibitors and the breakout session speakers.  Patty's keynote was superb.  Patty's presentation was somewhat unique for an event of this nature.  Most speakers present and discuss a PowerPoint.  Patty preferred to interact more intimately with the crowd and this approach lent a personal touch to her message which thoroughly resonated with participants.  She walked amid the tables, engaging people in answering questions and discussing her thoughts on her "bucket list" theme.  This proved to be an amazingly successful interaction with participants.  Her message clearly connected with people in attendance as Patty's mean rating on conference evaluations was a quite remarkable 4.92 out of 5.0. "   ~ Susan

“This presentation had me focus on my strengths rather than my weaknesses.  I tend to concentrate self-improvement on correcting weaknesses.  Developing current strengths could lead to both personal and professional growth and satisfaction.  I enjoyed the presentation.  I hope I will get my act together enough to follow through with the recommendations.”       ~ Mark

“An eye-opener. A reflection of your own.  See yourself from outside of your own mind and body.  Soul searching-finding, discovering yourself.  Becoming aware of who you may actually be, what you want and where you want to go.”    ~Dennis

“Thank you!  As always you provide thought provoking ideas.  These ideas will resonate.  I think we know/knew what we are doing but the definitions brought it into focus; allowing us to act more distinctly.  Your presentation is engaging, entertaining, and informative.  What I like is that you clearly apply these principles to your own life.  That lends credibility to your presentation.”     ~John

“Thanks so much for the ‘learning’ session.  I found the entire session very helpful and enlightening.  I will recommend this to my husband for his company’s use!  Thanks again!"  ~Sherrie

“This was what we needed.  I truly believe everyone learned more about themselves and others.  I plan to recommend this either for the Executive Team Retreat or for the Management Retreat.  Thanks again for everything!"   ~Gretchen
