Ellen Pataude, Motivational Speaker

Ellen E. Patnaude has been training, developing, motivating and coaching people to higher levels of success in a professional capacity since 1997. Her gift of insight allows her to often see what those with whom she is working are not able to see on their own – what is really getting in the way of their success. Ellen has a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Biology and French. Her formal education is overshadowed by the education that she has received from life – 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 in Central-America, helping people in the third-world countries transform their communities in extraordinary ways and, later, helping community leaders in urban areas in the United States. Ellen was one of the most requested trainers at the local, regional, statewide, and national levels because of her humor and energy. She has effectively trained and coached people from all walks of life, from peasant farmers with no formal education living in extreme poverty to top executives in corporate America.
