Kerrie Patterson
Hi Im Kerrie, bullying specialist and founder of the Stand Tall online coaching academy. As I did.
I help adults, teenagers, children & parents to overcome the impact of bullying. We're all born to stand tall, we just need reminding of this sometimes
๐Happy weekend everyone. Altho the days merge into one a bit atm!!
I'm starting my new venture teaching upholstery, upcycling & interior tips online. Its a slightly different direction for me, in terms of helping people.๐ค
I realised that this is so needed right now when lots of us are feeling lost. It helped me when I left my career with burn out. The sense of achievement when I transformed a piece of furniture, destined for landfill. The therapeutic process of just focusing my mind on this project.
So if u or anyone u know, are interested, please watch this space. Courses coming soon...โค๏ธ

I loved doing this podcast chatting about how important it is to stand tall as you โค๏ธ
This week we had the wonderful Kerrie Patterson with us, and we spoke about .
Not and easy subject and yet one many suffer....plenty, in silence. Which is why we felt so important to amplify her message and let you know you are not alone.
Having been bullied myself, I l ow how hard it is to first even recognize this is happening, and once you do, that you can seek help and get out of it - this is very hard as one of the traits of been bullied is that your drops so low...
Kerri suffered this too, and found the help was limited (or non existent) which is why she turned her suffering into her passion, her and to get over it into her to now help others do the same. She created a program just to do so: Born to Stand Tall.
Thanks so much Kerri for being with us and sharing such an important message with us โค๏ธ

Ok let's get honest here....
Are you struggling at the moment? Beating yourself up? Wanting desperately to make those changes this year but something is just blocking you?? ๐
You really want to step out of those shadows but don't know if you can and how you can even start doing that?? ๐
๐โโ๏ธI hear you, I get you, that was me! So let's start being honest with ourselves and others so we can start making changes. First step, does all that sound familiar?? ๐
This is my motto for 2021. Who's going to rise with me??? ๐
Wishing you all a happy new year wherever you are and whatever you're doing.
Here's to a great 2021.Make it yours ๐
Much love, Kerrie โฅ๏ธ
๐As we near the end of this crazy year, I'm celebrating this week just how far I've come. I was reading through some old emails this morning and realise just how depressed I was 4 years ago, when I left my career.
๐ I don't think I realised at the time just how bullied I was, not only when I left, but in the period after when I was securing a severance pay. When I read my final email, challenging them for their behaviour, I felt really proud that I had the courage to do that despite how low I was.
๐ So I'm celebrating who I am today and how this experience has actually benefited me. Without this and without my career, where I learned so much about how to help others...I wouldn't be in the position now to help others to overcome these feelings too ๐๐
So if this is you and you want help, trust in me as your guide as I get itโค๏ธ

What are you doing today to stand tall as your amazing self?? ๐ค
Stand tall confidently with me
Hi Iโm Kerrie, post bullying mentor and founder of the Stand Tall mentoring academy. I work with people to help them to recognise and embrace their amazing selves, after being made to feel small through bullying and emotional abuse. How can I help and why is this my mission? Because Iโve been there, I was that bullied person. I also have 15 years experience as a qualified Probation Officer. I worked with people to rebuild their self esteem and self confidence after emotional bullying and abuse. The results-they could live a more fulfilled and happy life. As a national trainer, I also helped staff to develop resilience and motivational techniques, when working with challenging people.
Put simply, I get it. The impact of emotional bullying and abuse in adults, is huge. Yet the support just isnโt out there. My mission is to change that and provide this much needed help. I want to work with you to help you to recognise your fabulous, unique self. You will learn to have confidence in yourself, your decision making and your right to say no. Trust me, if I can do it, then you definitely can. So let me take you by the hand and lead you to a happier, more content life where you can stand tall confidently, with me. Because you are so much better than you think you are.
