Ellen Patnaude

Ellen Patnaude has been training, developing, motivating and coaching people to higher levels of success in a professional capacity since 1995. Her gift of insight allows her to often see what those with whom she is working are not able to see on their own - the blind spots blocking their success. Ellen has a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Biology and French. She is currently working towards a Master's of Science in Organizational Leadership. Her formal education is overshadowed by the education that she has received from life - growing up in urban Detroit; living abroad in Paris, France; rural Nicaragua, where she became fluent in Spanish; and some of our nation's depressed urban centers. She spent many years working as a community organizer with the Gamaliel Foundation network, training and coaching regular people to transform their communities in extraordinary ways. She has effectively coached people from all walks of life, from peasant farmers with no formal education living in extreme poverty in a third-world nation to senior managers in corporate America. Ellen's most current work is with business owners and entrepreneurs who are tired of suffering in silence as they struggle to fulfill their dreams.
