As a mother, a grandmother, one who was building their home as well as building a business while raising my child, I’m familiar with the struggles of trying to do this all at the same time. I know starting and running a business can be very demanding and then there is the demands of your family – all together, it can be very stressful.
I feel very fortunate that where I made my home and my community was a great place to raise kids which gave my son a strong start in life.
I also feel fortunate that after a tragic event in my life (I broke my neck in a car accident – my healing journey there is another whole story that will be told at another time), with the support of friends and family I was able to pull my life back together and went on to build a new career as an educational associate using child-centered education, my work being in something called the “Play and Exploration” program. This was work that I loved! I loved being in the position where I could see the potential in the children, nurture it and see the kids blossom.
Human potential is something that always fascinated me.
I was fortunate to have people believe in me and encourage me plus I had some wonderful mentors and coaches to develop that potential in me. Now I want to see that the potential of our youth be developed for the youth are our future and do it within families.
At the beginning, to accomplish this, I wrote the book series “Bringing Out the Potential of Children” found on my author page at: https://www.amazon.com/author/patriceporter and I developed programs and courses.
After completing the Virtual Coach program and being certified, I now offer my coaching services for those parents who are struggling, yet truly want the best for their kids, to see themselves and their children grow to their full potential.
