Inspirational/Motivational Speaker at Bath University
Dear Patricia – your ABC have helped me overcome two major ‘mind blocks’ and I am so chuffed I just had to share! Thank you so much for giving me these marvellous tools. At Bath University when you were Inspirational Speaker, the card I picked at the start of your talk was ‘resilience’. A couple of days ago I came across the phrase ‘ the opposite of depression is not happiness it is resilience’. Isn’t that amazing? Or maybe it’s, as my friend Frances calls them, a God-incidence. I’ve often been bowled over at how things seem to come together and fully believe that things happen for a reason. I find this a great help, especially when things I perceive as bad happen. Your feel-good tips are always helpful and I’m ‘spreading the word’ among those who can benefit. Thank you again. Louisa S.
Inspirational Motivational Speaker at Sussex University
‘Thanks for your email, which comes at just at the right time…….. .. thank you for making Sussex special and for giving me hope. I realised talking to you just how important resilience is in making a difference to the quality of the life you live. Like you I have been through …..lots of life issues. Resilience is what keeps us going…. the bounce-back factor. You are an amazing woman and I feel honoured to have met you. What I will take away from your book is the fact that visualisation is not only about the visual but is also about all the senses. Thank you for that…’ Claudia P.
‘You are the one that actually got me out of my bad phase that I was going through ….. You really inspired me and we have to keep in touch. I will for sure join your MindCircles community and let’s meet up at the next opportunity…….’ Sandra E.

Just wanted to say thank you for being one of our panel members at last night’s event. The evening went very well and I know that I enjoyed your funny moments and experience that you shared with the audience. Thanks for your contribution to this event as your comments were not only relevant but very true in some cases. The event overall was successful, as has been evident from the feedback received so far from those in attendance. Thanks again for taking part and I hope you enjoyed the event. Carol Ann Morris, Business Mentoring
‘What a great evening and thanks in no small part to you! Again thank you for last night I firmly believe everyone in the room will have come away more energised, with more belief or simply with a short list of tasks and goals to set themselves. I certainly did, and with the added bonus of your book for free so I can refer back any time I want! I hope we meet again and get a chance to chat for longer, although I would also gladly sit in an audience and listen to you again!’ Diane Holden, Freelance World

‘I was so pleased to meet you on Tuesday night at the Ayrshire Business Women event, so inspiring….’ Joy R.
‘This is just a quick note to say thank you for a lovely evening at the Ayrshire Business Women event last night. I felt myself to have some affinity to your life story….. I have had a vast array of experiences, projects and jobs….together with various academia years as a mature student…… and a desire to write all my life. My passion for writing was finally fulfilled 3 years ago……..After a year or so of….. regrouping, I am now back in business… and last night was my first taster of being back in a networking environment. Hence, it was so nice to hear from you when I could identify so readily with much of what you said. I do so look forward to reading your book(s) and I thank you, again, for your most interesting talk.’ Nikki N.
‘Thanks for being our motivational speaker, we are still buzzing from your talk on Tuesday night – you’re a star!!’ Alison T.
Teambuilding (workshops) for Multinational Medtech company in USA
I was introduced to Patricia by a colleague, as someone who could help me to build and maintain the spirits of my high-performing sales team, while working remotely & navigating the uncertainties and challenges of a pandemic, associated Lockdown.
Her huge life experience & positive mindset, created an environment of honesty and trust that enabled Patricia to focus on getting the group to open up, so that we could address a lot of individual challenges, goals, worldviews, etc.
She knows the right questions to ask in order to move the group forward and when to pause and teach or re-frame something so that everyone understands. She was able to seamlessly transition from coaching the team to coaching individually & brought our team closer together, through creating a culture of inclusion thinking and affinity distancing.
Her mindfulness exercises and ABC philosophy are something that I personally will carry with me and practice regularly. James Keenan – Sales Manager for Multinational Medtech Leader
