Description
Emerging Professionals Affinity Group
Overcoming Assumptions
Formerly known as the Young Professionals Affinity Group
This group was formed to bring together members who are young professionals, looking to network, develop relationships and overall look to better themselves in their personal and professional life.
Ellen Patnaude has always been fascinated by how a person’s nature and lived experiences cause them to interact with the people around them. She is a Detroit, MI native and graduated from Alma College with a BA in Biology & French. She thought she wanted to be Jacques Cousteau, but her first few science-based jobs pointed clearly towards working with people. She worked for several years as a community organizer in Indiana and Ohio. Returning to Michigan in 2005, her reputation followed her for challenging people to see and be a better version of themselves, and the phone started ringing. Since then, Ellen has built an internationally recognized company supporting individuals and teams in improving everyday interactions. She recently published a new book, “I Thought You Knew… Confessions of a Chronic Assumer (and How to Stop Guessing your way through Important Interactions)”, available through your favorite online bookseller or her company website.
Ellen is a credentialed PCC-level Executive Coach (from the International Coach Federation (ICF), and certified in multiple assessment tools, including the AcuMax Index®, MRG’s Leadership Effectiveness Analysis LEA360® and Leadership Culture® assessments, Genos International’s Emotional Intelligence toolkit, and Equine-Guided Learning practices from Innovative Horizons. Her company has recently been certified as an LGBT Business Enterprise.
Ellen lives in mid-Michigan with her wife, Dani, at least one and as many as three teenagers at any given time, three cats, and a dog with way too much energy.
