Hi, I’m Patty Barrett!
I’m a coach, leadership program designer & facilitator, and professional comedian.
My ✨ purpose✨ is to empower every individual to become who they already are by engaging their full potential and living their fullest life.
That means having self-compassion for being human, self-awareness of strengths and barriers, and motivation to do uncomfortable things and make shit happen.
MY STORY
In 2005, The Killers were on the radio and a young Patty Barrett was having a revelation.
If I wanted to be ✨coming out of my cage and doing just fine✨ I’d have to change out of my oversized Gap sweatsuit and push myself beyond my comfort zone. UGH.
I kissed my wallet-sized photo of Tina Fey for good luck and signed up for an improv comedy class.
What I thought would be a mere tool for coming out of my shell turned into a 20+ year career. Improv brought me community, purpose, flow, and confidence that I never thought possible, especially in a room packed with 200+ people.
In 2014, I moved to Los Angeles to further pursue my comedy dreams, but ended up becoming an HR Manager. Tale as old as time.
Eventually, I moved back to old, cold Boston and started working at Reebok & adidas (sports!) on their learning and development team. Through facilitation, I discovered the power of my voice, perspective, and experience, enabling her to help others unearth their voices, perspectives, and experiences.
In 2022, I began training with the Co-Active Coach Training Institute and through coaching and being coached, I identified my values and crafted a purposeful life in alignment with them. The most remarkable revelation was realizing that my seemingly varied journey had been guiding me towards a career that I am uniquely qualified for.
I used to tell myself conspiracy theories ABOUT MYSELF and actually believed them:
“I’m too weird to be taken seriously.”
“I’m too independent to be in a relationship.”
“I’m too disorganized to work for myself.”
“I’m too emotional, loud, distracted, anxious, TOO MUCH.”
Now I know that I am all of those things but I’m successful because of them, not in spite of them.
My blended experience in comedy, human resources, and professional development provides me with a unique perspective and an engaging approach. With humor and openness, we’ll focus on whole-person growth by aligning your goals, values, and vision.
Stop being your own personal conspiracy theorist and start believing what you’re REALLY capable of. ✨
