What People Are Saying About Coaching With Patty Duque
Coaching Testimonials
I always dreamt of being a speaker but never had the courage to pursue my dream due to my paradigms, self doubt and imposter syndrome.
I have had extensive coaching but never successfully implemented and applied my learnings in the process of goal setting, hence dreams remain unfulfilled.
Patty taught me to be brave and to pursue my goal. I am now fulfilled, as an author, speaking my truth & happy mama. This means I have content, happy children and husband. I am thriving in mum/work life and pursuing my goal.
Patty is a bubbly, bright and extremely positive person, which quickly rubs off on the people around her. Patty gave me the push I needed to excel myself and overcome my doubts. I knew what I wanted however I was hesitant to make the leap. With Patty’s motivational words and positive guidance I am a happier, brighter, fitter and stronger person. She is the REAL DEAL! She is an excellent coach. She combines her wide-range of skills with her compassion & empathy to get to the heart of the problems you are experiencing in your life and business and shares practical strategies to create change in your life. I highly recommend taking a leap with Patty as a Personal Life Coach. She is worth the jump!
Olivia
Before I met Patty, I was new to a leadership role with direct reports. I generally lacked confidence in my own abilities, lacked energy and needed to understand how to harness my skills and direct them in the most efficient way. I would often feel anxious and get stressed about delivering tasks and in my personal life I needed to set goals that balanced financial gain while still allowing the family to experience the rewards we all work so hard to achieve.
During the 18 months of coaching with Patty I became aware of my core values and how they influence my behaviours, how to harness the thinking part of the brain and explored the executive functions to better understand how to get things done. Through this process I became more confident in my skills and learned that my voice and knowledge were real and I had value to add to the organisation.
Now I have the confidence to accept new challenges including moving to a new role, but I’ve also learned the importance of enjoying what we work for so have balanced financial goals to allow travelling around Australia in a caravan and have planned to take regular holidays and tackle sections of Australia each year. Most of all I understand my own emotions and how they influence those around me which has helped me to communicate with others on a whole new level.
If anyone needs help with developing confidence, understanding how to harness their mind or gain some direction or clarity around their career or personal life I would definitely recommend you speak to Patty.
Julie
I didn’t know what to expect from coaching and was open to what it would bring. I knew there was more to life but wasn’t sure what it was or how to get it. I wanted to live a more active life, create healthier habits and be more productive with my time.
I found my purpose and long-term vision, stopped procrastinating, eliminated any fear and ended up resigning and getting a job doing something I’m passionate about.
We are now a lot more active as a family, manage my time and energy better and know how to prioritise to get everything that I want done.
Honestly, thank you Patty. I love what I do and know I’m heading in the right direction
Sammy
About 12 months ago I was struggling to get an idea of what I wanted to do with my life.
There were lots of things spinning around in my head, everything seemed to be buried under a pile of confusion and lack of clarity.
So when I reached out to Patty, she was able to give me that clarity to help me see what my purpose of life was.
I now have clarity and found my purpose. I have gone from strength to strength to the point where now I’m building my own coaching business.
If anyone needs any help getting clarity and a sense of purpose in your life, I recommend Patty
Grant
I am in the process of creating a new business and I decided to engage a coach to keep me on track with the process and guide me beyond overwhelm and procrastination.
Patty is so easy to communicate with, she has encouraged and challenged me beyond my comfort zone, which was needed.
She helps me break down and take action on the steps required to achieve my goals.
Her enthusiasm and energy is so infectious, I can’t help but feel empowered to achieve.
Plus, she helps me see beyond my perceived limitations. Thanks Patty.
Debra
I contacted Patty looking for a coach that could provide support in my business ventures and look at how I might be getting in my own way. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that Patty gives me ‘more’ than what I expect of herself and in her support. In the short time I’ve been with Patty I’ve experienced ‘aha’ moments, clarity on my direction and goals. Patty challenges me in a way that brings a different perspective to my thinking. I always look forward to our coaching sessions and do not hesitate to recommend her unique and warm style.
Georgia
Before Andre Burger Cricket started working with Patty our players didn’t understand how to control their emotions. They didn’t know how to process their thoughts and feelings in pressure moments and consequently, the players made several mistakes under pressure. Since then our players developed the knowledge and techniques to deal with uncomfortable moments.
Andre Burger Cricket was looking for someone that could deliver a message so different personalities and age groups can understand, to be able to deliver a message everyone can understand is a sort after skill and I saw that in Patty. Patty is also always looking to learn and improve and this will help the individuals and groups she works with.
Patty can communicate effectively with kids, young adults, as well as professionals and, will be effective regardless the age, gender, social or corporate status.

My first impression of Patty was that she instinctively knew who and what I was all about. This immediately put me at ease and I was genuinely excited to see where my coaching sessions would take me! At the time I was new to a leadership role and managing staff. I was struggling with the people challenges that come with significant organisational change. I was feeling the pressure of trying to juggle family and work while trying to maintain a balanced, healthy lifestyle. My sessions with Patty helped me to gain perspective on the different aspects of my life and put some order and priorities in place, understanding what happiness and success looked like for me. Patty has provided me with tools and helped me to develop strategies for managing and developing my team, learning along the way a great deal about change management in an organisational environment. Patty has the ability to skilfully and intuitively draw on her personal work and life experiences and apply the learnings and observations to your coaching sessions. With each session I feel my confidence growing and I always leave a session with something new in my toolkit. I have experienced both personal and professional growth through my sessions with Patty and I’m excited about what my future holds.
Kylie
Thank you Patty for the help and support you provide! And giving me the motivation and push I needed to continue on the right path ?? I highly recommend Patty to anyone who Is looking for that little/big push in a fun and motivating way.
Nikki
I recently had the pleasure to work with her on an ongoing basis. Patty possesses a rare combination of passion, confidence, patience and intelligence which makes her particularly suited to what she does. Patty has the ability to make people feel at ease while also seeming to have unlimited reserves of energy and drive. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and her business to anyone.
Damien
When we moved to Australia, I was privileged to take a break from work and help my husband and young daughter settle in this lovely country. Being a full-time wife and mom has been a very rewarding experience. I’ve never been this close to my family. I learned how to really take care of them and not rely on others to do the tasks. I enjoyed every single moment of motherhood and being a partner to my husband. For months, I thought this is where I’m headed in life.
Then one day it hit me. I missed the “high” of being busy, of doing something more and being around people. I missed having a career.
And so, I decided to rejoin the workforce. I thought I could easily land a job because of my work experience. I used to work for one of the big fours of Wall Street. I had a good working experience and I thought that’s all I needed to be easily accepted. However, that was not the case. For 4 months, my job interviews were back to back with no progress. I lost courage and admittedly, felt humiliated.
While waiting for our kids on one fine day, Patricia and I along with one mom were having a casual chat. One mom was sharing her career frustrations. Patricia is a genuine listener and generously gave advice to our friend. Her phrase “What is your purpose?” struck me the most. She said, dreams in life are within arm’s reach if you know your purpose.
I went home contemplating on her words. I asked myself why I wanted so bad to go back to work? And then I realised, I was desperately looking for a job because of pride. I wanted to have that status which I used to have when I was working. I wanted to feel that power again and regain that confidence which I think I lost when I put my career on the back burner. But then, if I wanted a job so hard, why wasn’t I getting it?
“If you can tune into your purpose and really align with it, then life flows much more easily.” – Finally, I realised that my purpose is my family. I remember back in Singapore, that my passion around work was because of my family. I wanted to provide a good, comfortable life for them. My questions were answered and figured out, my goals were nowhere to be seen because I was thinking of a wrong purpose.
I ran into Patty and told her how her words made an impact to me. She listened and helped me understand that what I felt was normal because I lost my identity. She helped me fine-tune my thoughts and go back to the person I used to be. I’m truly grateful for her genuine kindness to share her knowledge with me.
After tweaking my thoughts and being more thankful to my blessings, looking for a job seemed lighter. I was able to give my best in my interviews. I was able to meet an amazing manager who believed in my skills and capabilities. In short, I got what I wanted.
People who may not deeply know us come into our lives and will earnestly provide guidance that you need. They are the ones who truly know how to listen and understand. And so my thanks go to wonderful Patty!
Ana
Patty has transformed my life. I didn’t even realise I was missing anything in my life until I stumbled upon her. Patty has provided clarity in all aspects of my life, from parenting and fitness to career and home organisation. Since working with Patty I have been able to connect with myself and rediscover what makes me happy. I have been able to balance all elements of my life more easily and most things in our household now just work effortlessly. Patty has a special connection with people and is easy to get along with. She has strong intuition and a wonderful way of looking at life. Patty has returned true happiness to my life. Things are better for me every day and I am now ready to set up the business I have always dreamed of. Patty continues to find ways I can create further clarity and balance in my life. I will definitely continue my coaching with Patty.

Maria Claudia
Vice President of Corporate Strategy at Ulta, Chicago, USA
I started on my journey with Patty after listening to her present a short piece about Growth Mindset. I was at a place with my business where I wanted to grow, I was in search of another therapist but I had reservations about how to go about doing it. I felt that I needed the direction of someone with experience to help to put me in the right “mindset” to achieve my goal. My head was in a place of things being in the “too hard basket” and I wanted to bury my head in the sand. On listening to Patty, I felt that she could assist me so got in touch. We worked on breaking down the “job in hand” to smaller, more manageable chunks and she gave me clarity about how to move forward by setting goals and really understanding what I needed. The guidance she gave me shifted my mindset. Things no longer seemed too hard, I was able to stick to the task in hand rather than the constant procrastinating and I felt like I had direction. I was able to make decisions, feel happy and clear about them, see the bigger picture and feel confident about what “I” needed. I have learnt different techniques to help me plan my time better in the future, to break down the steps required to achieve the goal so it’s more manageable and to understand myself better. Thank you for your help, guidance and understanding Patty. I have really appreciated your patience in getting to understand me, helping me to find other ways of dealing with my concerns both in my personal and professional life. I’m sure that many others will gain from your experience and professionalism in the same way that I have.
Kathryn
Gaia Spa Owner, New Zealand
Before I worked with Patty I felt a lot of resistance and lack of clarity. Through her coaching I was able to step back and see the bigger picture. She helped me to realign myself to my true purpose, removed the resistance and energy blocks I’ve felt before. The clarity I gained through her calls helps me to see exactly what I need to do in order to get where I want to go. Patty is so passionate in what she does and cares so much about her clients results. One big thing I’ve learned from her is the importance of being happy on your journey to success and enjoy every step of it. This makes achieving your goals easy and fun and I feel at my happiest. I can recommend Patty to everyone who wants to gain clarity, feel happy within themselves and achieve the results they truly want. Thank you so much!

I am Carolina Llano, I live in Scottsdale, Arizona (USA) and I am a Relationship Manager at FineMark National Bank. I started working with Patty Duque earlier this year when I seemed to be questioning everything in my life. Patty has given me tools to understand why I do the things I do and has helped me be more aware of my emotions, thoughts and reactions. With the tools and self-awareness that I have today, I am able to focus on my goals, what I truly want and most importantly accept myself and be happy. Patty Duque is outstanding, motivating and impactful, I would absolutely recommend that you give her a chance to help you!
Carolina

Patty is a terrific person to have in my life. She has guided me personally and professionally in a manner that is warm, supportive and of course, energetic. I am skeptical of most things – life coaching could be included in that – but Patty’s structured yet personal approach has been invaluable.

Marie
Entrepreneur, Gold Coast, Australia
In 2008, Patty was my personal trainer at a time when I needed to change my attitude towards how I improved my fitness. I struggled for many years to train in a way that led to a noticeable difference in competition results in my chosen sport. I had been exercising at gyms for many years but after meeting Patty she persuaded me to try personal training. We started training together once a week and it quickly became apparent that I needed to recalibrate my mental approach. Patty is a good communicator and an excellent coach and with her help I changed how I managed myself mentally when it came to improving my fitness and then my performance when competing. The lessons I learnt from her are still in valuable today. Patty’s bubbly energetic personality makes for a fun time whenever you are in her company.

Jeena
Skin Specialist, Business Owner
With three very Young kids, a few changes in home base country and the pressure and rush to start all over again each time, it becomes very easy to live your life by inertia and forget about your own self in the process. That was me until one ramdon day I had a conversation with my dear friend Patty. It all started with a very simple question : “Why”and it has developed into a life changing opportunity that I am embracing every day. With easy techniques, strategies and most of all honesty, Patty’s coaching sessions will without any hesitation change your life for good. Regardless of the reason why I started the coaching, for me it has had a multiplying effect in many other areas that I was not even exploring. I begun by digging deep into my issues and as a result of the different sessions I know who I am, I know what drives me, I know how to use it to achieve better results in all I do, I also know my weaknesses and have developed strategies to tackle them. My relationship with my husband has improved substantially (not that it felt bad – but know it feels great), and I am a much better and happier mum to my 3 boys. So, all in all, I could not be happier to have undergone the coaching sessions with Patty. She is an incredible person, an invaluable friend and the best coach one could ever have. I am very grateful for every minute she devoted and continues to devote to me.
Michelle
Mother of Three, France
Patty has made me put things into perspective and realise what was really important for me, therefore, getting rid of a lot of noise in my life. She has guided me through difficult circumstances and her advice throughout our sessions always managed to lift me and provide clarity on what I needed to focus on. Before working with Patty I didn’t manage my time very well, I had no idea I could get so much more done in the same amount of time. I followed a few strategies that made me very effective, my stress level reduced significantly and I started to enjoy leading a productive life. The strategies she shared from her personal home life, especially with her kids made me realise how I would like to be when I have a family. Thanks to her I’m more organised, happier and energised. I can’t thank Patty enough for how much she has helped me, she transformed my life, Thank you Patty! So, all in all, I could not be happier to have undergone the coaching sessions with Patty. She is an incredible person, an invaluable friend and the best coach one could ever have. I am very grateful for every minute she devoted and continues to devote to me.
Martha
Project Manager, IBM Costa Rica
Patty has helped me look at life differently. By asking the “right” questions and at times challenging me, she has helped me see problems from multiple angles and consider what really matters to me. While it is up to me to find what I am looking for and therefore happiness, Patty provided lots of positive reinforcement and support and was an invaluable sounding board. Patty’s warm personality has made my process a lot easier.

I ran into Patty and told her how her words made an impact to me. She listened and helped me understand that what I felt was normal because I lost my identity. She helped me fine-tune my thoughts and go back to the person I used to be. I’m truly grateful for her genuine kindness to share her knowledge with me.
After tweaking my thoughts and being more thankful to my blessings, looking for a job seemed lighter. I was able to give my best in my interviews. I was able to meet an amazing manager who believed in my skills and capabilities. In short, I got what I wanted.
People who may not deeply know us come into our lives and will earnestly provide guidance that you need. They are the ones who truly know how to listen and understand. And so my thanks go to wonderful Patty!

Patty has transformed my life. I didn’t even realise I was missing anything in my life until I stumbled upon her. Patty has provided clarity in all aspects of my life, from parenting and fitness to career and home organisation. Since working with Patty I have been able to connect with myself and rediscover what makes me happy. I have been able to balance all elements of my life more easily and most things in our household now just work effortlessly. Patty has a special connection with people and is easy to get along with. She has strong intuition and a wonderful way of looking at life. Patty has returned true happiness to my life. Things are better for me every day and I am now ready to set up the business I have always dreamed of. Patty continues to find ways I can create further clarity and balance in my life. I will definitely continue my coaching with Patty.

I started on my journey with Patty after listening to her present a short piece about Growth Mindset. I was at a place with my business where I wanted to grow, I was in search of another therapist but I had reservations about how to go about doing it. I felt that I needed the direction of someone with experience to help to put me in the right “mindset” to achieve my goal. My head was in a place of things being in the “too hard basket” and I wanted to bury my head in the sand. On listening to Patty, I felt that she could assist me so got in touch. We worked on breaking down the “job in hand” to smaller, more manageable chunks and she gave me clarity about how to move forward by setting goals and really understanding what I needed. The guidance she gave me shifted my mindset. Things no longer seemed too hard, I was able to stick to the task in hand rather than the constant procrastinating and I felt like I had direction. I was able to make decisions, feel happy and clear about them, see the bigger picture and feel confident about what “I” needed. I have learnt different techniques to help me plan my time better in the future, to break down the steps required to achieve the goal so it’s more manageable and to understand myself better. Thank you for your help, guidance and understanding Patty. I have really appreciated your patience in getting to understand me, helping me to find other ways of dealing with my concerns both in my personal and professional life. I’m sure that many others will gain from your experience and professionalism in the same way that I have.

Before I worked with Patty I felt a lot of resistance and lack of clarity. Through her coaching I was able to step back and see the bigger picture. She helped me to realign myself to my true purpose, removed the resistance and energy blocks I’ve felt before. The clarity I gained through her calls helps me to see exactly what I need to do in order to get where I want to go. Patty is so passionate in what she does and cares so much about her clients results. One big thing I’ve learned from her is the importance of being happy on your journey to success and enjoy every step of it. This makes achieving your goals easy and fun and I feel at my happiest. I can recommend Patty to everyone who wants to gain clarity, feel happy within themselves and achieve the results they truly want. Thank you so much!

I am Carolina Llano, I live in Scottsdale, Arizona (USA) and I am a Relationship Manager at FineMark National Bank. I started working with Patty Duque earlier this year when I seemed to be questioning everything in my life. Patty has given me tools to understand why I do the things I do and has helped me be more aware of my emotions, thoughts and reactions. With the tools and self-awareness that I have today, I am able to focus on my goals, what I truly want and most importantly accept myself and be happy. Patty Duque is outstanding, motivating and impactful, I would absolutely recommend that you give her a chance to help you!

Patty is a terrific person to have in my life. She has guided me personally and professionally in a manner that is warm, supportive and of course, energetic. I am skeptical of most things – life coaching could be included in that – but Patty’s structured yet personal approach has been invaluable.
Kellie

I started a process I could not finish on my own. With Patty’s help, I have been able to take another step that made me feel good and capable. I trust her ability to help people to release their blocks and to empower themselves to take action.
Marie
Entrepreneur, Gold Coast, Australia
In 2008, Patty was my personal trainer at a time when I needed to change my attitude towards how I improved my fitness. I struggled for many years to train in a way that led to a noticeable difference in competition results in my chosen sport. I had been exercising at gyms for many years but after meeting Patty she persuaded me to try personal training. We started training together once a week and it quickly became apparent that I needed to recalibrate my mental approach. Patty is a good communicator and an excellent coach and with her help I changed how I managed myself mentally when it came to improving my fitness and then my performance when competing. The lessons I learnt from her are still in valuable today. Patty’s bubbly energetic personality makes for a fun time whenever you are in her company.
Peter

Patty is a bubbly, bright and extremely positive person, which quickly rubs off on the people around her. Patty gave me the push I needed to excel myself and overcome my doubts. I knew what I wanted however I was hesitant to make the leap. With Patty’s motivational words and positive guidance, I am a happier, brighter, fitter and stronger person. I highly recommend taking a leap with Patty as a Personal Life Coach. She is worth the jump!

Patty is an inspiration.. Her passion, knowledge and education around life coaching and personal development is above an beyond. If you are looking for support around these areas, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

With three very Young kids, a few changes in home base country and the pressure and rush to start all over again each time, it becomes very easy to live your life by inertia and forget about your own self in the process. That was me until one ramdon day I had a conversation with my dear friend Patty. It all started with a very simple question : “Why”and it has developed into a life changing opportunity that I am embracing every day. With easy techniques, strategies and most of all honesty, Patty’s coaching sessions will without any hesitation change your life for good. Regardless of the reason why I started the coaching, for me it has had a multiplying effect in many other areas that I was not even exploring. I begun by digging deep into my issues and as a result of the different sessions I know who I am, I know what drives me, I know how to use it to achieve better results in all I do, I also know my weaknesses and have developed strategies to tackle them. My relationship with my husband has improved substantially (not that it felt bad – but know it feels great), and I am a much better and happier mum to my 3 boys. So, all in all, I could not be happier to have undergone the coaching sessions with Patty. She is an incredible person, an invaluable friend and the best coach one could ever have. I am very grateful for every minute she devoted and continues to devote to me.
Michelle

Patty has made me put things into perspective and realise what was really important for me, therefore, getting rid of a lot of noise in my life. She has guided me through difficult circumstances and her advice throughout our sessions always managed to lift me and provide clarity on what I needed to focus on. Before working with Patty I didn’t manage my time very well, I had no idea I could get so much more done in the same amount of time. I followed a few strategies that made me very effective, my stress level reduced significantly and I started to enjoy leading a productive life. The strategies she shared from her personal home life, especially with her kids made me realise how I would like to be when I have a family. Thanks to her I’m more organised, happier and energised. I can’t thank Patty enough for how much she has helped me, she transformed my life, Thank you Patty! So, all in all, I could not be happier to have undergone the coaching sessions with Patty. She is an incredible person, an invaluable friend and the best coach one could ever have. I am very grateful for every minute she devoted and continues to devote to me.

Patty has helped me look at life differently. By asking the “right” questions and at times challenging me, she has helped me see problems from multiple angles and consider what really matters to me. While it is up to me to find what I am looking for and therefore happiness, Patty provided lots of positive reinforcement and support and was an invaluable sounding board. Patty’s warm personality has made my process a lot easier.

As an Adjunct Professor teaching Leading People and Teams within the University of Queensland’s MBA program and member of Australian Harvard Women’s Retreat, I regularly engage guest speakers to share their real-world experiences with students and members. In December 2018 I engaged Patty to speak with the summer semester cohort on the topic of Leading Change and later in April 2019 for our MBA students and later in April 2019 for our Australian Harvard Women’s Retreat. I received extremely positive feedback about Patty’s contribution to both. She captivated the audience with her energy and passion and with the thoughtful and articulate way she tailored her real-world case study on Leading Change for their purposes. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage Patty as a speaker again.
Danielle Duelle
Danielle Duelle Founder & CEO People with Purpose
Patty is one of the most positive people I’ve ever met, her enthusiasm rubs off on everyone around her.
I attended Patty’s goal-setting workshop in November and found it to be invaluable.
I own a boxing gym & spend a lot of time nurturing my clients, so one of my main reasons for undertaking the workshop was to nourish myself & set some personal & business-related goals.
I left the workshop with a completely different mindset and concrete goals & a better understanding of the processes i need to go through to achieve them.
Patty has spoken to the members at my gym about mindset, goal setting and motivation & her talks have always been very well received.
I would recommend Patty to anyone who’s looking to change their mindset & set strategic goals & then surpass expectations, whether it is related to their personal or professional world.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate being lucky enough to receive one of your books. It genuinely brought a tear to my eye. As someone that suffers from debilitating anxiety and has had multiple long term hospital stays due to my mental health battles, I really loved the “Appreciate” step. It was a great reminder to accept what is happening and turn it into a positive. To remember that I can always learn from experience and use that to navigate other hurdles.

I just attended your presentation and wanted to say it was amazing insight and information. Really enjoyed this.

Wow, great talk, I’m dealing with so many negative thoughts and emotions right now. You covered such a relevant topic as we are all facing our own adversity, however you managed to say exactly what I needed to hear to deal with my current situation. Thank you for your time and giving me a great way to change my state of mind so I break past this very difficult time. Your wise words were on point.

Thanks so much for your time and wonderful presentation this morning. It’s so enjoyable to hear a great speaker that relates so well and is so passionate about what they do. So many truisms in what you covered today. It makes me think I need a bit of “Patty” in my every day. I really appreciate you sharing so many truth bombs to shake me back into taking action.
Sally
I really enjoyed the topic you covered today, What a simple way to understand our brain and how we can get stuck so easily. Your easy to understand way of explaining things has really made me understand the importance of mastering my mindset and ways I can break the habit of sabotaging myself and having negative thoughts. Thank you for such a comprehensive and well thought out talk. Your passion and great tips have inspired me to change my ways. Thank you!
Lisa
Thank you so much for your presentation today. It came at a perfect time for me as I have been through a lot lately and really needed a strategy to deal with so much overwhelm and change. I loved the analogy you used and the tips you shared as they are so practical.
Klara
Thank you so much for your inspiring talk today, I love that you also share these strategies with kids to help them with their mindset. I honestly feel emotional literacy needs to be addressed way more for kids. You are truly amazing! I took sooooo much away from it. I particularly loved how easy to SSASS acronym was! It makes it a simple 5 step strategy that is so practical for developing self-awareness. I also loved the emotional scale frequency as I’ve not come across that before. I’m all for raising my own vibration and am often very good at this. Thank you so much
