Patricia believes that real lasting change can happen when we want it bad enough and we commit to making it happen. She begins by telling us the story of her first job. She wanted to be a lifeguard but back in the 1950’s, girls were not lifeguards especially when the program was being run by the high school football coach. Be inspired by her story and how she overcame the challenge of being told “A girl is never going to be a life guard”.

Listen on as she moves through her career sharing wisdom, inspiration and down to earth tips for how she was able to power ahead to the position she holds today.

The lessons Patty shares throughout this program is priceless! And surely going to leave you wanting to learn more.

Her top three (or four in Patty’s case) pieces of advice for women wanting to advance their carreers.

Tip 1: Find a Mentor – and be sure to formalize that relationship with clarity so each party knows what is expected of them in this relationship.

Tip 2: Form your own networks or groups to surround yourself with likeminded women who share in your interests and can offer you the support and guidance you will throughout your career.

Tip 3: Always ask questions to learn the most you can about people, their situations and their life stories and more importantly always listen.

>>Do not fall into the rehearsal effect when listening – learn all about it in this episode.

Tip 4: Make a difference every day – ask yourself everyday if you are making a difference and if you are not, do something that does make a difference.

Topics discussed in this episode:

- How Patty overcame the man/woman stereotype.

- The top qualities Patty looks for when interviewing upcoming leaders.

- Patty’s advice on how to stay true to yourself and grounded in who you are.

o “I’d rather you try something new and ask for forgiveness later” when speaking about taking risks

o “You forced me to think about my story” when talking about rewriting your own story – one of Kellie’s Top Ten Strategies.
