About Me
Certified Professional Coach and MBTI® Practitioner
Welcome to PC Coaching and Professional Development!
My Mission:
I am a Certified Professional Coach and MBTI® Practitioner for the purpose of empowering people and teams in self-discovery, conquering limiting barriers, and to master their goals and dreams.
My Why:
I am so happy you are here. From a very young age I have loved getting to know people and striking up conversations, even remembering striking up conversations with a stranger on a city bus having my mom tell me to “Stop talking to strangers” at around the age of four. It was ironic to me, this memory, for two reasons. One, I don’t recall engaging in conversation with such zeal prior to this day with strangers and secondly, it was my first visit to church with her and the core messages I thought I heard clearly were “Jesus loves me” and “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. So what does one do when hearing the inspiring messages to joyfully spread love in the world? You listen to your mother!
Three messages were received to me that day: I am loved, love my neighbor as myself, wisdom is the ultimate guide. The last being the most profound that was the foundational component in guiding me to be able to attain my innate purpose. There are consequences of ignoring wisdom. Meaning, the message of heeding her authority whether I saw it as good or bad in my zealous rose colored glasses, was more about respecting her authority of what I couldn’t see in my best interest that needed attention to.
Zeal not governed with solid thinking and wisdom has the ability to tempt us to go straight into action, often times, to the detriment of ourselves, others, and our God given purpose.
My soul purpose was discovered when I left my career to raise our children at home. I was fortunate to have worked in Retail, Human Resources, and Finance with truly the best bosses, but I had this dream that would not settle within me. I knew that somewhere in the Human Resources is where I wanted to land so I pursued on, gathering education that would lead me to get to know others better, at which time the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator known as the MBTI® was a three day Management course I had the opportunity of taking. A mother-daughter team that took analytical pshychologist Carl Jung’s theory and made it what it is today: a powerful tool used by individuals and Businesses. I had a consultation and signed up for Certification. Once completing the Certification I realized I walked in taking it to better understand others but I did not expect how it would help me understand myself. That day I decided I would some day have my own Business, knowing everyone needed to be afforded the same privilege and enough time would not be granted if I stayed in an office. It’s truly the best gift you can give yourself and the difference in the people you see around you will open your eyes to deeper understandings, forming supportive networks, ultimately being the main goal of the Myers-Briggs organization. I headed on to discovering what the world of Personal Development Coaching entailed, which is directed in Socratic thought, which lead right into my consistent world of questioning everything around me and finally the past three years of engagement with the Critical Thinking Foundation putting those questions to the test. So, you can see, this all adds up to
my Mission – using these tools to empower people and teams in self-discovery, conquering limiting barriers, and to master your goals and dreams.
Coaching Personal development is what I know I was born to do even before I knew Coaching was a job description. The foundation of why I coach is to help others contain the voices of zeal and govern wisdom that is around and within you. So … where are you at – Retrieve, where do you want to go – Build your plan, so you can – Master your goals and dreams.
Together we will Pursue Courage, Pursue Change, in Pursuing Clarity
Much Gratitude, PC ~ Patricia
