Becoming is not a concept.
It is a lived experience.
Patty speaks to the moment just before change, when someone realizes they can no longer live from habit, expectation, or inherited definition.
Her talks are not about motivation. They are about remembering.
Through story, inquiry, and grounded wisdom, Patty invites audiences into the most important question they will ever ask:
What do you want?
Not what you should want.
Not what makes sense on paper.
Not what you were praised for becoming.
But what is quietly asking to be lived now.
What Patty Speaks About
Patty’s talks are shaped in real time, guided by the people in the room and the moment they are in. Themes often include:
Risk to Become
The courage it takes to release who you have been successful at being and choose who you are ready to become.
The Question That Changes Everything
Why “What do you want?” is the most disruptive, clarifying, and liberating inquiry we can ask in life, leadership, and love.
Practicing the Art of Becoming
Becoming is not a one-time decision. It is a practice that asks for honesty, devotion, and trust.
Leadership Without Armor
How to lead from presence instead of performance, and why authenticity is the new authority.
When Success Isn’t Enough
For high achievers who have done everything right and still feel the quiet pull toward something more true.
Patty does not give answers. She creates the conditions for truth to emerge.
