SPEAKING
Drawing on 35 years of business experience and 15 years of hands-on mentoring, Patty delivers authentic and straightforward advice to audiences who want to plant seeds of motivation to youth within their own communities. Using interactive examples of real world projects, Patty guides her audiences through ways they can perfect their mentoring programs. Building on the wisdom she sets forth in her book, Teach to Work, Patty provides practical, immediately actionable ways for organizations and individuals to bridge the skills gap in America using project-based mentorship.
Patty is available to speak for 60-90 minutes, or for a half-day immersion with company mentors. Most typically, travel and accommodation costs would be incurred by the client, and a blend of a fee plus books purchased would be involved. Reach us at Info@teachtowork.com for more questions and availability.
