Patricia often receives letters and phone calls from the participants in her programs, thanking her for the insights and inspiration she has shared in these presentations. One of the reasons people are so enthused about what they hear is that Patricia shares personal and real stories - so people know that her practical wisdom comes from experience, not just books and good ideas. Her diverse background makes her a competent presenter for spouse groups, schools, parents and personal growth groups, as well as business-related meetings and training.

Currently she is the owner of the Center for Creative Learning and Patricia Clason, LLC. As a consultant and business coach she works with large and small companies, as well as individuals, in the areas of start-up, marketing, management skills and career building.
