Patrice Blakemore, Esq.

Patrice Blakemore, president of Blakemore Coaching, is a well-respected motivational speaker, confidence expert and writer.  She has spoken to hundreds of people on how to reach their goals.

Teaching others how to be successful has been Patrice's life-long passion. For the past six years, Patrice has mentored women to help them find purpose and obtain results. Patrice founded Blakemore Coaching because she realized women's success is inextricably tied to their confidence.

Patrice used her experience as an attorney and stay-at-home mother to develop a confidence program to teach professional women, especially mothers, how to make their goals attainable. Her clients include women reentering the workforce, entrepreneurs and professionals seeking to improve their opportunities. 

Both of these disciplines – law and motherhood – give Patrice a unique perspective on how to increase one's confidence. Patrice shows women how to improve their confidence through their thoughts and actions.

In August 2009, Patrice was selected as one of nine people to participate in the "Emerging Entrepreneurs Program" initiated by The Presidents' Council Foundation in partnership with Baldwin-Wallace College.  The objective of this program is to increase economic growth in Northeast Ohio with education and networking opportunities for participants. 

Patrice also served for two years as the Mocha Moms chapter president for Cleveland-East. During her time as president, she reorganized the chapter, increased membership and improved relationships. She has been a stay-at-home mother for six years. Patrice also worked as an assistant prosecuting attorney and community mediator.
