Greetings! Thank you for visiting my website!
My mission is to help you succeed by giving you a proven path to follow and real world tools to use, REGARDLESS of how you define success. After two college degrees and 25 years in the work force I've noticed certain things come up over and over...things that are conceptual in nature and CRITICAL to understand---these things form a path, a roadmap, a framework to success, again, regardless of how you define success! I've also written a book called 'Steve Patterson's Street Smarts For Success: A Step-by-Step Guide" and am a Member of the National Speaker's Association, Va. Chapter.
The reason I name these tools 'Street Smarts" is because I've learned most of them in the "real world" not just in formal education. I also believe that you don't have to know everything - but you DO need to KNOW the MAIN things. That's what street smarts is all about.
All of us want to be successful - but success means different things to different people! The principles in my "Street Smarts For Success: A Step-By-Step Guide"can apply to anyone's definition and can help those willing to work hard to maximize success in their lives. I believe there is a PATH to SUCCESS - regardless of how you define success. Beginning with vision, mission, strategy and tactics and ending with "pulling it all together and becoming a leader", I lay out the plan in a format that is easy to read and understand. I've taken formal education and 25 years of "real world" experience and reduced success down to the MAIN THINGS you need to KNOW and DO. If you are ambitious, this information will help you. This month, I'm highlighting PUBLIC SPEAKING skills - they can add tremendously to your success journey.
