I coined the term “wisdom work” to describe how I apply my interdisciplinary wisdom to advise organizations. I provide big-picture perspective and practical guidance. I access my diverse networks and resources. And I do it all with care and joy.
As well as mindfulness and meditation, my wisdom domains include children’s, educational, bilingual and translated publishing and literature. For inquiries, please contact me. My current wisdom work:
Pangea Educational Development: I am an Advisory Board member of this brilliant organization that leads literacy programs in Uganda. Learn more about Pangea here, and please support us!
One Hour with a Publisher: Through Conspire Creative, I am available to answer all your publishing questions in a one hour call. If you have a book project or idea, learn more and book your call with me here.
Explorations in translation for children: I am an organizer and cohost of this popular webinar series, organized by Outside In World (OIW), the foundation that I advise, and the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) at the University of Reading, England. You can view the past seminars on the CBCP’s YouTube page. I post links to upcoming webinars in Events.
Stories on the Move: I am a consultant for this groundbreaking University of Reading CBCP research and practice project on translated literature for young people and languages education in the UK (website forthcoming), funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
Outside In World: I am a Trustee and long-time adviser to this Britain-based foundation that promotes children’s literature in translation. “Patricia brings tremendous knowledge and provides incredible support, including hands-on help,” says OIW Cofounder/Manager Deborah Hallford.
SIMA Studios: I am a long-time board member and recently retired awards Jury member for this organization that advances social impact media and education worldwide through its expansive educational platform SIMA Academy, as well as the annual SIMA awards.
