Ellen Patnaude has always been fascinated by how a person's nature and lived experiences combined causes them to interact with the people around them. She is a Detroit native, and graduated from Alma College. with a BA in Biology and French. She thought she wanted to be Jacques Cousteau, but her first few science-based jobs pointed clearly towards working with people. She worked for several years as a community organizer in Indiana and Ohio. Returning to Michigan in 2005, her reputation followed her for challenging people to match their walk to their talk, and the phone started ringing. Since then, Ellen has built an internationally recognized company supporting teams in becoming more effective and less assuming leaders.
Sharing her experiences through storytelling, Ellen has now authored two books with another one in the works. She shares her own mistakes and fallible nature using humor and a down-to-earth perspective. Her goal is to help people feel less alone, see themselves, and feel supported as they read her books. The stories she tells are not always easy (to tell or to read), but they are always about real life and how it shows up in all its messiness.
Ellen is a credentialed and certified Executive Coach, and certified in multiple assessment tools, including the AcuMax Index®, MRG's Leadership Effectiveness Analysis LEA360® and Leadership Culture® assessments, Genos® International's Emotional Intelligence toolkit, and Equine-Guided Learning practices from Innovative Horizons.
Ellen lives in mid-Michigan with her family.
