ABOUT
Everyone has the power to create change in their life.
Train Learn Develop Grow Pty Ltd is owned and managed by Patricia Erlandsen.
I am cosmopolitan in outlook…
I have resided in Brisbane, Qld., Darwin, NT., Adelaide, SA, Lae, New Guinea, Hong Kong, Kent, UK, and Limerick, S. Ireland.
In 1985, I purposed to travel and work as a motivational speaker in as many countries as doors opened to me. I returned to Australia in 1996, having worked in 25 countries, presenting in large and small conferences and groups.
Public Speaker
These speaking engagements opened the doors to being invited to plan creatively for future growth with principal owners and their teams of small to medium sized communities and businesses. It allowed me to employ my entrepreneurial skills as well as act in the role of consultant in planning and training for future growth. Returning to Australia in 1996, my well-developed communication skills continued to open doors for me.

TESTIMONIALS
Thoughts about Patricia in Leadership :
I’m so glad I know you! I love you, just by being in the world, you inspire me to keep on going myself!
Leadership is not a job or a role for you – LEADER is who you are, its core to your being.
- You are a leader because people follow you. Be you CEO or in prison, you would still have a ‘following’.
- You are intuitive, gut/spirit led which opens you up to out-of-the-box possibilities
- Not bound by the restrictions of ‘boundary thinking’
- You bring your best intention to others and their lives – this is your Service and Gift
- You motivate people to go for the best option
- Your capacity to keep encouraging people along the way is vital – enthusiasm is contagious
- Creative thinking around problems
- Can do, can fix, can create, can resolve, can grow – positive initiatives and affirmation of that. All things really are possible with you.
- You do of course, have the gift of miracles (over many years I have seen this in operation – there is always a sense that ‘anything could and will happen with you’!)
- Possibility thinking that enables others to bring their imaginings to life
- You keep going – you are persistent
- You are willing to walk away from an idea that’s not working and ready to try the next thing – pragmatic in that regard
- Aspirational and inspirational
- Weak spots: Anything to do with the practical ordering of life, like, map directions, the role of administrator, advanced technology … not so interested in ‘how’ the world works – more interested in ‘why’ it works and how you can make it work better ~ which is not a weakness at all really!)

Thoughts about Patricia regarding Professionalism:
Having known your work here in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Europe and Africa, I think all of what has been said here is very true of you. What I would add is not in the same line but is what I value in you – your loyalty and genuineness … Your vulnerability and openness about yourself which enables others to do something of the same. I am not thinking here of your skills and gifting in that way. But the above adds to it in that it is as much who you are as what you do.
from A. UK
