Keynote by Dr. Patti Ashley – Do The Right Thing
Purchase tickets below
In the 1990s as a teaching assistant in a University Preschool, Dr. Patti Ashley was taught to connect with children in times of conflict by getting down on their level and softly saying “do the right thing.” This allowed each child a minute to stop and think about the situation before taking action. In today’s modern world full of distractions, social media, confusion, mixed messages, loss and uncertainties; discerning exactly what is the right thing can be difficult. Even for adults. Dr. Patti will share how her four “C Shovels:” connection, compassion, courage and curiosity can help you slow down and do the right thing in any challenging situation or life stressor.
Patti Ashley, Ph.D., L.P.C., is a psychotherapist, author, and international workshop presenter. In her signature system of Authenticity Architecture, Dr. Ashley helps you identify the habits and patterns that prevent you from living your best life and write a new story more aligned with your heart’s true desires. In addition to in-person and on-line individual sessions, Patti facilitates individual and group, transformational retreats in the United States and Europe. She has over thirty-five years of experience in the fields of education and psychology, including developing continuing education courses for physicians, hospital wellness programs, and universities; and counseling individuals, couples and families in mental health agencies, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice settings. Dr. Ashley completed a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Psychology from the Union Institute and University in 2002. She is the author of: Living in the Shadow of the Too-Good Mother Archetype (Wyatt-MacKenzie, 2014) and Letters to Freedom, a memoir of grief and relationship (Wyatt-MacKenzie, 2019.) Her third book: Shame Informed Therapy, a workbook for clinicians, is coming out in the fall of 2019 (PESI Publishing.)
