Patricia Simms is an international professional, personal and educational coach, author, speaker, and mentor. She is also the founder of StepAhead Educational Consultants and PatriciaSage Life Coaching International. She has appeared on various stages to share her life’s philosophy on how to create a successful life/business while manifesting one’s ultimate dream, including at the Women Rocking Business international business conferences, and the highly acclaimed podcast, On the Edge with April Mahoney. She also launched her own podcast, Fiercely Uncommon, and offers a series of workbooks to complement the podcast.
Trish says that what inspired her the most to become a coach and writer are her life experiences and personal transformations. Her unshakable beliefs come from a pivotal moment years ago when she became aware of repetitive patterns and outcomes that she didn’t want for her life. When she chose to shift her perspective and let go of old beliefs, instilled in her by others, her life changed. As a coach, she draws on these experiences and believes there is no shortage of abundance.
This is how she mentors her clients, offering them a pathway forward into the life they desire. Her specialty is working with Gen Z and Millennials in crafting their creative dream careers; coaching women to step into the bountiful and desirable life they yearn for; and, mentoring and advocating for high school and college students in achieving their upper educational endeavors. Her successful career of over 20-plus years has led her clients to live extraordinary and engaging lives they once thought were impossible.
When not writing or working with her clients, Trish enjoys spending time in the great outdoors of Central Oregon, as well as cooking and gardening alongside the companionship of her Pitti-mix pup, Tiggy. She also goes back to her home state of California to visit her son, his partner and her new grandchild as much as possible.
