Most of us could say we have a dream for success and know something about what it takes to be successful. Most of us invest time and energy in striving for success. So if that’s true, why does it seem all too often that success is just beyond our reach?
In this session, you will discover that success is not about steps, principles, or even secrets. In fact, success is not something you “do.” SUCCESS IS A WAY OF BEING! It is something you live everyday, in every aspect of your life. And it is simpler than you think.

What has us repeat the same actions that we take even though our results remain the same, say the same things to ourselves and others, and react the same way even though it seems we are just operating out of an automatic way-of-being?
Are you trained, schooled, educated, certified, credentialed and still you say those things and do those things that you regret? Do you make goals, promises, intentions, and swear on your life you will complete what you say you will and have to go into hiding because you don’t follow through?
Come take an ontological look from where we operate as human beings. Yes, you take actions to get results, however that’s not always what it takes to alter or shift our ways-of-being such that we can count on ourselves. Such that we be our word to ourselves and others. Such that we know that from our actions we will love the life we live.
Patricia will introduce you to an alternate way of taking a look at how linguistics, or the way we operate from our ‘languaging’, our emotions, our moods and even our body dispositions come into play when taking the actions we take to get the results that we get.
About Patricia
Patricia Hirsch is trained as a Newfield Certified Ontological Coach (NCOC™), has a Masters in Business Administration, worked in corporate America with managers and executives for the last 12 years, and was an Intensive Care Registered Nurse for 14 years where she says she first began to hear ‘what people were saying underneath their words.’ Patricia founded her second coaching practice, ‘Design Your Life Coaching’ in 2001, and has qualified for her Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential via the International Coach Federation.

The Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment (BTSA) is an assessment instrument that measures how each person’s brain prefers to process information and where they fall on the introversion/extroversion continuum.
It also measures how many of the four different thinking styles a person has developed competency in (and how much competency). Lastly, it measures which of the four thinking styles is your natural preference and whether or not you are "falsifying type." Falsifying type means you are leading with a competency that is not your natural preference and
creating a severe energy drain. The ability to identify "falsification of type" is what sets the BTSA apart from other assessments such as the Myers-Briggs. Benefits associated with use of the BTSA are:
Individual:
- Clear understanding of personal strengths and weaknesses
- Ability to choose most appropriate career and/or developmental assignments
- Enhanced personal effectiveness and enthusiasm
- Better ability to understand and communicate with others
- Better health (less stress) through more efficient application of personal energy
Organizational:
- Getting the right people in the right jobs
- Effective employee development programs
- Assembling and managing high performance teams
- Reduced conflict and effective conflict resolution
- Enhanced organizational effectiveness
- Reduced turnover and healthcare costs

To get upset with another, to be disappointed, to have unfulfilled expectations, is all natural, normal and predictable. So the important question is what do you do when this happens to you? If you are like most people, the last possibility you consider is discussing this with the person who triggered the upset.
Why is this? Because it’s scary business. And, the only model we have been given for resolving upsets and disappointments is a confrontational model. Like confrontations? Not likely. But the consequences of not communicating are even worse. Eventual conflict is all too predictable.
Here’s the good news. There is another model for communication which works rather elegantly and actually turns upsets into greater and greater levels of intimacy. In this program, you will learn that model and how to create and maintain rich, meaningful, quality relationships with everyone in your life.
About Scott
Scott Hunter’s keynotes, coaching, and book, Making Work Work, have been transforming organizations for two decades. Scott has conducted over 150 corporate retreats, consistently producing breakthroughs in the participants’ relationships with each other.

As a consultant and coach, he has worked with over 150 corporate clients in working arrangements lasting just a weekend to as long as 10 years. As a speaker, Scott has delivered over 1000 speeches to organizations in every field of endeavor.
