PATTI MONTELLA has been a pioneer, risk taker, and leader her entire life. She built a thriving corporate career on the cutting-edge of travel technology before leaving it all behind to dedicate her life to uplifting society. The skills she sharpened in the business world have served her well as an international speaker and inner transformation coach who’s taught tens of thousands of people worldwide how to access more happiness, peace of mind and dynamism in life —from CEOs and government leaders to royalty and college students—over the past twenty-five years. Through her work in key leadership roles with the Art of Living Foundation and the International Association for Human Values, Patti has become an internationally recognized happiness expert and a powerful agent of change. When she isn’t traveling and teaching, Patti can be found hiking in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where she lives.
