Biography

Patricia has extensive legal and psychological knowledge and also plays piano and violin. She participates in radio and television programmes, often taking part in acting roles for a local writers/actors/directors group through Write Camera Action. She also writes articles for professional journals. Patricia examines in law and business for various professional institutes including Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply www.cips.org; Association of Business Executives www.abeuk.com and ifs School of Finance www.ifslearning.ac.uk. She has also been a tutor at Open University residential summer schools for many years www.open.ac.uk.

In a world where people are increasingly expected to be and even accepted as ‘the competitive edge’, any idea that seems to offer the possibility of enabling them to develop and improve their lives and the lives of others is likely to raise a great deal of interest. When Patricia realised that her own self imposed programme worked so well, her vision was clear – the result is this book and it’s associated program CircleSafe/Qvolution. Her training and workshops invigorate and inspire.

It has taken Patricia a huge amount of time and effort to convert her own ideas into the services she offers clients. Her aim and that of Mindcircles is to enable every person – whoever they are – to benefit from years of experience and fine-tuning.

Patricia’s approach to stress is one of stress prevention for individuals, with a focus on personal development and overall well-being coupled with legislative compliance for organisations. Her vision is to provide techniques and strategies to self empower and improve the lives of everyone. Towards that vision, Patricia reviewed her own life and over the years, spoke to many individuals to identify how they dealt with life’s challenges. She realised that those who coped best, including herself, had certain attributes which they used to not just cope but also improve their lives.

‘Patricia inspires people to believe in themselves’.

Dear Pat – The ABC have helped me overcome two major ‘mind blocks’ this week and I am so chuffed I just had to share! Thank you so much for giving me these marvellous tools. At Bath 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 Louise

Based on her published book 7 Attributes Patricia interacts with audiences describing the seven attributes and providing tips and tools for enhancing personal development and overall well-being.

Patricia’s approach to stress is one of stress prevention for individuals, with a focus on personal development and overall well-being coupled with legislative compliance for organisations. Her vision is to provide techniques and strategies to self empower and improve the lives of everyone. Towards that vision, Patricia reviewed her own life and over the years, spoke to many individuals to identify how they dealt with life’s challenges. She realised that those who coped best, including herself, had certain attributes which they used to not just cope but also improve their lives.

Audiences love her approach which is friendly and engaging and the room is often filled with laughter at her stories of her challenges (personal and business) and her successes.
