BODY

Presenting Yourself

Successful leaders know that the ability to speak is the one tool that sets them apart from the crowd. An influential leader is one who speaks from the heart and speaks to the heart.

Are you someone who would rather have a root canal than make a presentation in business? Does your high tech talk leave your audience with their eyes glazed? We spend 94% of our day communicating with others yet only 1% of the population spends any time training to present their thoughts to others.

Communication Dynamics
Move from podium panic to presentation panache

Ladies and gentleman, our next speaker is

  • paralysed with terror
  • passing out as we speak
  • about to be sick
  • sweating bullets
  • all of the above

Don’t pass up that exciting opportunity just because presentations or speeches or workshop leadership are part of the job!

“I can’t believe I was ever afraid of public speaking... this course gave me the confidence I was looking for. I’ll never forget it.”
Barbara Ross,
Manager, Accounting Services

This three-day intensive course is for those who need to be heard, understood and believed, or who are timid or petrified public speakers. All Communications Dynamics classes are limited to 10 people.

Pat’s dynamic, accessible style leads participants to learn:

Pat has been conducting Communication Dynamics for over 18 years, instructing nearly 1500 Certified General Accountants students.



Building Communities
building communities, yours, mine and ours

Now a cliche, the term ‘networking’ is based on a single, sound principle:
the more people you know and the more people who know you, the richer and more valuable your community and your life will be.

To build effective communities, we need to engage other people. To do this, we need presence, strength and the ability to communicate effectively from the heart.

We need to connect with others beyond collecting names and giving out our email addresses. In this area, Pat is a leader and a wise woman. In a lively ½-day session, or fun keynote address, Pat connects with audiences while sharing her wisdom to:

  • link with positive energy
  • succeed with small talk
  • speak to the heart, from the heart

Choose this powerful session for retreats, trade shows, conventions and professional development days.



MIND

Power & Purpose

These two sessions have a premise that we are all valuable, that we need to acknowledge ourselves and others.

Remember, if you don't play your music, who will?
If you are not living your vision, whose are you living?

Surviving Organizational Insanity

SPIRIT

Working from the Inside Out

Too often we think that real life is happening "out there". This session is designed to show that our own Inner Guidance System -- including both logic (left brain) and intuition (right brain) -- must play a part in who we are and where we are going.

Spiritual Vitamins
Adding Another Dimension to our Lives

If you don’t play your music, who will? If you don’t dance your dance, who will?
If you’re not living your life, whose life are you living? Who is living yours?

Do you ever ask yourself:
  • Who am I truly meant to be?
  • What is my purpose in this life?

We take care of our bodies, ensuring we get all the vitamins we need each day, but often neglect our incredible inner spirit.

Spiritual Vitamins is a fun and inspirational stand-alone, convention or retreat session that starts us on the road to healthy care of our spirit.

Some of the Spiritual Vitamins used which enable Pat to help you connect you with your Inner Guidance System:
Vitamin A – Ask; Vitamin B – Believe; Vitamin D – Divine discontent

Pat’s insightful wisdom leads audiences to their inner selves, guiding them to see their whole lives through their own values and beliefs, in this interactive, transformative session.




When we dream, the soul transcends the limits of the body and holds divine communication with the angels.
