She holds two master’s degrees and has taken numerous business courses to add to her expertise.  She holds a coaching certification from iPEC Coaching, one of the world’s top coaching programs recognized by the International Coaching Federation.

Pattie has melded all her education from the school of hard knocks and years of experience.  She began her career working in a department store at age 15 and started her teaching career after college.  While teaching she multi-tasked other jobs as a bartender, travel agent and real estate agent.  After 20 years as a teacher, Pattie left teaching to begin a successful career in educational publishing.  Her career began as an editor and she moved up quickly to director.

After the tragic events of 9/11, Pattie made the life-changing decision to leave her publishing career in New York in downtown Manhattan.  Shortly after making the decision to move she received a call from a headhunter in Boston for an editorial director position.  She took the position and quickly moved up the ranks again to vice president and president in another publishing company.

Pattie’s began coaching and mentoring other people on her staff and outside of her firm in other companies out of the passion of helping others fulfill their career dreams as well.  She enjoyed supporting others so much that she left her publishing career and went full time into coaching and speaking.
