what people say about Lisa…
“In more ways than one your story spoke volumes to me. I had no idea how moving your story would be. Not only could I relate but this has inspired me to make changes in my own life as well. It reminded me to take charge of my own destiny by getting out of my own way to receive these much needed changes! A good friend once told me “Life is not a dress Rehearsal.“
Thank you so much for sharing your story and Shine on!”
“This is a MUST read for everyone who has ever found themselves in a low spot in their life, lost, or simply unmotivated? Lisa Patierne takes you from her picture-perfect childhood, as a bubbly six-year-old playing teacher on her front porch, into the depths of dark despair. Her idyllic teaching profession had swallowed her up and began negatively affecting every aspect of her life from her personal and professional relationships to severe and chronic health issues. You will be inspired by Lisa’s true story and learn how you can find your way back out of the belly of your whale and live your life purpose.”
Meet Lisa Patierne…
Dr. Lisa Patierne is a dynamic leader, motivational speaker, author, and success trainer whose purpose is to bring love, light, and hope to the world. Spending 29 years as an educator, principal, and transformational leader, she has devoted her life to teaching, inspiring, motivating, and helping people, teams, and organizations reach their greatest potential, despite their circumstances. Lisa believes that we are all born with a song in our heart, which is our life’s purpose. When we are singing that song or living our life’s purpose, we are in a state of joy, peace, and wellness. When we are feeling sick, sad, depressed, unmotivated, and joyless, that is feedback we are receiving that we are not where we are “supposed” to be. Lisa takes us through her own personal journey of finding purpose, overcoming adversity, listening to feedback, and “getting out of the belly of the whale” in order to live the life you were meant to live and reaching high levels of success. Read her heartwarming and inspirational story “Get out of the Belly of the Whale” in Women Who Shine.
Lisa is currently co-authoring another book entitled RESPONSIVE Leadership with Lieutenant Colonel (US Army Retired) John Nawoichyk (Associate Athletic Director, United States Military Academy at West Point), which is designed to help individuals, teams, and organizations discover how to build confidence, increase resilience, live with passion and purpose, and accomplish every goal they set, no matter who they are or where they came from.
As the educational consultant for the State of New York Police Juvenile Officers Association, Dr. Patierne has provided training to hundreds of police officers using the concepts of RESPONSIVE Leadership, in order to build resilience, strengthen leadership, and understand and minimize the effects of trauma on police officers, their families, and the communities they serve, which will ultimately create bridges of peace, hope, trust, and success for all.
She is so happy and grateful that she has been afforded the opportunity to bring love, light, and hope to the World in so many ways.
