POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

Pat’s coaching focus is influenced by the research produced in the field of positive psychology, which scientifically studies positive emotions, positive character, and positive institutions. She believes that developing one’s natural talents into strengths can put the wind at your back and help you soar toward your most fulfilling life.
