Pat says, “Across the globe, many people lack joy, harmony, trust and are prone to doubt. They have become despondent and depressed, fail to be their word, sit in overwhelm, others are resigned and intolerant. Others show cynicism and act confused, and many lack confidence all of which results in emotional flat-lining, lack of engagement, poor productivity and more recently, unresolved grief, poor mental health and suicides. My work is to help people find joy when it appears there is none. You can’t lift your bottom line if your people are down”
