Meet Patty
Patty Aubery spent over two decades as the strategic force behind Chicken Soup for the Soul, one of the most beloved publishing phenomena in history, helping grow it into a brand with more than 500 million books in print across 47 languages. As a 14x New York Times bestselling author, former President of the Canfield Training Group, and one of the most trusted names in personal development, she has spent her career putting other people on stages, launching their books, and building their platforms. She knows what it takes to build something that lasts because she has done it at the highest level, repeatedly, for decades.
Today, Patty brings that same expertise to your audience. Whether she is speaking to a room of entrepreneurs, women in transition, or leaders ready to step into something bigger, she meets people exactly where they are and helps them see what they have been sitting on all along. Her keynotes are part strategy, part story, and entirely human. Audiences leave not just inspired but clear: clear on who they are, what they bring, and why the world needs them to stop waiting.
Signature Keynote
Permission Granted:
You Are Not Becoming Someone New. You're Becoming More of Who You've Always Been.
You've spent years, maybe decades, building a career, a reputation, and a life full of hard-won lessons that other people would pay good money to learn from, and yet when the idea of a business, a book, or a stage comes up, something stops you. Not lack of experience, not lack of ideas, but something quieter than that: the belief that you'd have to become someone different to deserve it.
In Permission Granted, you'll discover that the thing you've been calling "starting over" is actually something else entirely. It's finally starting from yourself, with a clear framework for turning everything you've already lived into a message, a method, and a movement that only you can lead.

You helped me recognize that I was diminishing my value instead of owning what I brought to the room. That breakthrough changed everything, not just how I show up on stage, but how I lead and live.
