Speaking & Workshop Testimonials
“I was in awe of your skill, craft and competence. You were an artist in action… your many years of experience were so apparent–and even more significant was your caring and intuitive knowing. You were so gracious to make everyone feel important. You provided great content–but your greater gift is what you communicated from your ‘being present’ and genuinely caring for everyone’s needs. And it was so clear the people truly love and appreciate you. You have AND are making a difference and leaving your fingerprints on the hearts and minds of many people.”
–Jennifer Whitaker, Executive Brilliance

You really helped make our first meeting of the year a success. The ease and comfort with which you presented made it easy for the audience to participate and feel included. That’s what’s been missing in our meetings–audience participation. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! I wish you continued success.
Joan Harmon, VP, The Atlanta Writer’s Club
What a joy to meet you today! I know the group thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I look forward to working with you for our Education Day.

“Patrice has been a very successful instructor with Emory University’s Center for Lifelong Learning since 1999. Her course, Get the Life You Love, has been a consistently popular and highly regarded part of our Evening at Emory program for adult learners. Patrice’s students rave about her in the classroom and we enjoy working with her. Our students have shared feedback such as “Brilliant and amazing instructor–inspirational!” “Life altering–fantastic!” and “This class was excellent and extremely helpful.” She is a top notch instructor and I highly recommend her.”

“Patrice provided excellent content and delivery for a professional women’s development workshop. I highly recommend her services for corporate training.”
December 19, 2006, Mable Aigoro, Professor of Professional Studies at Shorter University
“Patrice delivered an energizing and inspiring public talk to an enthusiastically receptive group at our library. Her presentation, “How to Get the Life You Love – Patrice Dickey’s Lessons from ‘Tuesdays With Morrie’,” was the custom-designed capstone program for “Fayette On The Page,” our county’s inaugural “One Book, One Community” project. Patrice demonstrates a great passion for her topic, and conveys her message with boundless joy, energy, and style.”
July 27, 2008, Sarah Trowbridge, Public Services Librarian, Fayette County Public Library
“Patrice Dickey is just the type of speaker we always strive to have for our Atlanta eWomen Network events…. interesting and energetic while providing valuable information in a short amount of time. The comments after the event showed that the tips she shared were of value to our members.”
Vanessa Lowry, owner of Profits in Progress
“Thank you Patrice—Great workshop! Full of reminders and fresh techniques. Avoiding the ‘interrogator’ stigma is especially difficult for me, since the more information I can accrue, the more ideas result.”
David Deal, graphic designer, Creative Entrepreneurs Network
“Just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I enjoyed the seminar you presented for us at NAMAR. I’ve been in a doldrums (burnout) phase and it always helps to hear someone with fresh perspective and great enthusiasm. Keep up the good work; you are terrific!”

Just wanted to take the time to drop you a few lines, I couldn’t resist and I hope you
don’t mind. After last night I am so glad I made the decision to take your class. Over the years I’ve bought and collected several inspirational/spiritual/self-help books none of which I finished reading – except for yours. As I read your book I gained a sense of strength, hope, and empowerment to finally deal with so much hurt, pain and insecurities in my life. I so much want to connect and discover the person I’ve
neglected to be. Thank you Patrice for your book, your class… what a wonderful thing!

“You are a great inspiration for positive change and demonstrate that one person can make a difference.”
Randy M.
“The people fortunate enough to attend this course received more than a discussion of trendy philosophy. Through cleverly selected and well-planned exercises, each of the participants actually made positive changes in their lives by the end of the too brief six-week curriculum. It was interesting and exciting to see the difference in thinking and personal energy in the students between the first week and the last.
The credit for this successful class falls solely on the talents of the instructor. Ms. Dickey had a definite goal in mind and was well prepared for each session, drawing on a wide range of resources, to take her students on the next leg of the journey. Even more than that, she was personally involved at all times.
This course spawned numerous positive changes in my own life as well as giving me the tools to continue to make positive changes. It provides a very valuable resource for the community at large. Imagine the impact over time of increasing numbers of people making positive changes in their lives and learning a new, more positive outlook, through this class. It is quite a vision.”
J.L., Atlanta Business Development Manager, Lanier Corporation
“I’ve started speaking to my partner & friends on a different level, incorporating much of the philosophy and opinions shared in class.”
Charles G.
“I believe the biggest change has been my increased awareness of the ‘victimization’ attitude… Staying in the ‘victim mode’ hurts me so much in the long run…”
Lynn D.
“…the negative has less influence on me. Have more of an attitude of patience with myself, and more patience with others.”
“Class allowed me to relax and feel more optimistic about my dreams. This process in itself has been enjoyable and very uplifting.”
Juliet A., M.D
For the new entreprenuer or the seasoned sales professional, the opportunity to attend Influence Made Easy: Making Connections that Sell was both informative and timely. The session was full of wonderful information and Patrice’s delivery was masterful.”
–Sonja Williams, Atlanta Women in Business
