It’s hard to believe there was a time when Pat Armitstead was not glad to be alive. You see Pat is no stranger to grief and loss. She lost her first child - a daughter called Willow. She lost her business and home twice in 4 years. She avoided bankruptcy by repaying $80,000 in 2 years. She had 10 car accidents in 18 months ( none her fault she assures me ! ) Pat is also a cancer survivor. Her family did not speak for 20 years. Her partner of 20 years left with another woman…..but, rather than succumb to depression …. she chose another path!

Pat is a Pioneer and Thoughtleader in the area of joy as a transformational agent. From her early years as a Registered Nurse, she has championed the human spirit leading people to find joy where it appeared there was none. Pats life has been devoted to helping others to transform their lives. Her unique personal perspectives, traumatic past, repeated losses and eventual mastery as a Multi Award Winning Speaker, TV and Radio Host and Exhibiting Artist are a rare combination of talents.
A master storyteller she combines Positive Psychology principles, Emotional Intelligence, and Neuroscience with real human experiences to bring understanding and meaning to life events.
Pat says "Across the globe, many people lack joy, harmony, trust and are prone to doubt. They have become despondent and depressed, fail to be their word, sit in overwhelm, others are resigned and intolerant. Others show cynicism and act confused , and many lack confidence all of which results in emotional flatlining, lack of engagement , poor productivity and more recently, unresolved grief, poor mental health and suicides.
She says "You cant lift your bottom line if people are down"
1:5 people are medicated for depression, costing us up to 200 billion per year, and in Australia alone there are 3000 suicides per year . That's 8 people every day ! Joy makes a difference ! ".
She has toured internationlly with Patch Adams and shared the stage live and online with speaking greats such as Jack Canfield, Bruce Lipton, John Demartini and Patricia Fripp.
Pats clients include :-
John Bishop - Media commentator said
“Pat commits the cardinal management sin of spreading joy and making people smile. If her practices become widely adopted, going to work will become fun, and people will enjoy the experience. Ultimately she is a dangerous subversive to dullness, mediocrity and boredom. Why can’t we have more like her?”
