Do they sometimes feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and don’t have easy strategies to help them cope?
Are you looking for pre-teen friendly, simple and fun tools for them to thrive authentically?
If these are questions you have asked yourself as a parent, you are NOT alone!
And you are certainly in the right place.
I have felt and questioned myself as a mother exactly the same way. This is why I created this program as an extension of the Elevate Your Mindset for Adults program to ensure pre-teens start gaining an understanding about life as well as gain life skills that I only wish I had when I was a pre-teen.
I am a Results and Mindset Coach, working with mainly adults and also pre-teens to help them see things from a different perspective, helping them get clarity, claim their confidence and certainty so they can live authentically. Not worrying about what others think and thrive by being who they are.
As a mother of 2 young girls, it was very clear that the quicker I started to introduce different concepts about life and provide them with skills that can help them cope in life was going to make their life journey easier for them and for us as parents.
I explain the steps to confidence and certainty a very simple, fun and creative way tools and strategies that your child can start using straight away to improve life at school, friendship groups and most importantly themselves.
Join today for your PRE-TEENS to experience this exclusive program: Elevate Your Mindset for Pre-Teens teaching pre-teens how to claim their confidence, achieve higher emotional intelligence, develop a growth mindset (as opposed to a fixed mindset) and build their self-awareness.
This online program teaches them proactive and reactive strategies for dealing with challenging situations and big emotions like anxiety and stress. These simple and powerful strategies can help them straight away to overcome what may be holding them back.
Hear from Patty’s current and former clients.
Patty’s mindfulness lessons stopped Max from getting into another footy brawl today. He has been involved in a few matches this season ending up in a “brawl or two” During today’s game, after legally tackling his opponent, his opponent punched him and threw the ball at his head. My son would have normally retaliated, punching back, however, this time he held his “anger” finger as taught by Patty this week (whilst truly wanting to knock the other boy out) and calmed himself down. He ended up getting 50 mts penalty and kicked a goal 30mts out into the wind.
Lesson, my son would have fought and gotten into a brawl if he didn’t attend Cricket Academy this week and attended Patty’s session resulting in suspension and missing his upcoming finals. He is also a defensive player, and would have missed kicking his first (and most likely only) goal of the season. Thank you
Thank you Patty for helping my 14 year old. When I first approached you I was concerned about my daughter’s mental health as she was struggling with her group of friends. She was down and I was concerned I’d lost my “happy girl” however with your help I can say I got her back. This is not a farewell as I’ll be contacting you again if we need your help again with any of our kids.
My daughter had been struggling with overwhelm from school demands, friendship groups at school, fear of driving and her chosen sport. Through your sessions we have seen her develop her confidence, she’s now noot scared to drive, manages her time better and has been able to overcome the rollercoaster of emotions. Having someone she can trust and count on along with practical tools she can use through the last years of high school has been invaluable. Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much Patty. We are very impressed by the Elevate Your Mindset for KIDS program. The exercises have been very helpful for our son and we have noticed improvement in his behaviour, attitude and way of thinking both at school and at home. We think it’s been great and look forward to seeing him build on what he is learning.
Thank you for the positive influence on teaching our daughter to take more chances and getting out of her comfort zone. She has always been shy with new things and new people eg. change of teachers, change of teams. But with your help I can see her growing in such a positive way. It’s all about her mindset.
Dear Ms Duque,
This letter is to thank you for the wonderful work you have been undertaking with Rory during his enrolment at the Andre Burger Cricket Academy 2019/20. Please accept this letter as our personal recommendation to other parents and prospective clients of the quality growth mindset and life coaching services you provide.
Rory has truly benefited from the sessions he has had with you via Zoom. Even though we have never met in person, Rory has made a deep personal connection with you. As a busy working parent I must also say that I benefited a great deal from your sessions as well. I also enjoyed reading the Elevate Your Mindset book and recommend this to anyone who needs to re-energise and find some focus within their busy lives. It makes me think how lucky my son is to be receiving these valuable life lessons at such a young age. Both Rory and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Please find some key learnings as discussed in your sessions:
· A zoom lesson about growth versus a fixed mindset. I have never heard an adult explain the concept of flipping your lid so well to a child. He learnt about how we have a fight or flight response and how we can recognise these signs in ourselves and adjust.
· Identifying his core values and what makes him the person he is. At the age of 10 going on 11 he was finding friendships at times challenging and you were able to talk him through issues relating to following rules and integrity and being true to who he is. As a result he is now more comfortable to be himself.
· He was able to discuss some roadblocks related to going away to a sporting competition and being away from his family for the first time. As a result he enjoyed going away with his team and had a successful competition experience. It is now something he knows he can do.
· Rory was able to look at his weaknesses and work out ways to improve on them. He was able to identify a weakness and think in terms of what will I do more of or less of to create more high performing habits. In particular, he chose one weakness and set some SMART goals related to a specific cricket technique he was trying to master.
· He was able to plot these goals on a calendar. In fact, he was then able to further revise his goal to something even more specific and relevant to his cricket experience. You have encouraged him not to give up in tough times and reminded him to stay positive in tough situations. Something he has cherished – receive feedback as positive energy and to keep pushing forward. Rory is still working on this skill and each day is closer to mastery. Having the SMART goal enables him to be more accountable to improving.
· He also learnt some acronyms for END – effort never dies, NO – next opportunity and FAIL – First attempt in learning. These are helpful for him to remember in his lead up to sporting trials.
· Rory also completed a visualisation activity that involved him seeing himself as a 16 year old. Of course being the ever passionate cricketer he visualised himself on a cricket field with his family watching, playing a successful game of cricket. He was able to give himself some helpful advice and was truly engaged in this activity.
· Finally in Rory’s own words, “I have gotten a lot out of these sessions with you. I really valued it and felt you understood me. I felt really good about the things we talked about……. I learnt about key values, growth mindset, smart goals and individual characteristics. I hope to use these in real life situations – so thanks Patty”.
In conclusion, you have provided us with some empowering advice and lessons that we can use in our everyday lives. Thank you once again. Rory and I have no hesitation in recommending you to other young people and adults. Keep on doing the wonderful work you do! We are all so much better for it.
I would like to share my experience working with Patty. As a parent of 2 children who recently started playing tennis at a competitive level, I very quickly realized that tennis is much more than hitting the ball with the right technique but also a very mental game. We started seeing our little girl Alice (9) lasing matches nat because of her tennis skills, but simply because she would let her emotions overtake her and become incredibly frustrated on the court, berating herself and hitting herself with her racquet when she made a mistake. We would have conversations with her to try and help her overcome her issues, but we really didn’t know how to handle this new situation. Nothing seemed to work and we were literally “lost” Then at a friend’s house we met with Patty and just by coincidence we discussed with her this situation, and we agreed for her to talk with Alice to see what was happening. Patty very soon gained Alice’s trust and through video calls they started working together. Two weeks later, after the first three video calls, Alice had another tournament. It was the nicest surprise ever to her handling the pressure on the court very well. She reached the finals in singles and won the doubles. She did lose the final in the singles, however this time, as opposed to the previous times, she was all smiles and there wasn’t a trace of the frustration and anger that we had previously witnessed. Since then, Alice has competed at another 2 tournaments and we can notice this positive pattern continues. A happy girl enjoying playing a sport she loves, regardless of the match outcome. Thanks a lot Patty and can’t wait for our little boy to start competing as well as I am sure we will be needing your counselling then as well.
Hi, my name is Andre Burger, Founder and CEO of Andre Burger Cricket. We not only improve cricket skills, but we also develop Skills for Life”. We have a holistic approach and the program challenge the players Technically, physically as well as mentally. We need players with a good attitude and when i met Patty 2 years ago I was looking for some to help our players with Personal brand as i believe you change the person; you change the result. Patty made a huge first impression and after our meeting I knew that she would play a significant role in our players lives. It was very important that the person working with 10 to 16-year-old boys and girls can communicate at their level. Communicating with this age group is not always easy but Patty nailed it and it is evident that Patty can communicate not only at a corporate level but at a level suitable for 10 to 16-year olds Our goal is to help our players develop the necessary skills to make good decisions on and off the field in an uncontrolled environment and Patty was the perfect person to make this happen. Patty did not only help our players develop a more positive mindset, but the lessons are used by the whole family, Patty taught us that our mindset is a way of thinking and your attitude is the way you carry yourself. Your mindset can change your attitude. Patty helped our players to realize that our mindset will shape our thoughts, our thought habits will shape what you feel and what you do. Our mindset impacts on how we see everything around us as well as how we see ourselves. If our players have a positive mindset, they will have a positive attitude and this attitude will help them to train better, be better in the classroom and at home. We have seen the changes in our players from when Patty started working with then to now. I will highly recommend Patty, Patty helped our players break down barriers that was built up through their limited beliefs. Our players are putting themselves in situations they wouldn’t have dared to in the past. Patty will make a difference in lives, no matter their age. Thank you for enriching our lives, Patty.
Patty Duque was awarded #2 Female Mindset Coach in Australia in 2021 by Yahoo Finance in 2021. She is also a speaker and best-selling author in the area of Mindset as she truly believe that Mindset can make or break us. As Napoleon Hill says, “You either control your mind or it controls you”,
This is why she expanded her Mindset work from adults into pre-teens teaching them life skills that will equip them to claim their confidence, build emotional resilience and be authentic. She believes we are all unique and have our own genius zone however, our pre-teens don’t always see it that way.
Her mission is to impact over 750,000 people to live an authentic life from the inside out. She is passionate to help pre-teens develop useful life skills such as a growth mindset, self-awareness, and emotions to stop the increase of their mental health and start creating successful habits that will help well into their adult life.
The simple tools and techniques she shares have given her clients ranging from the ages of 7 to 67 great results making them raving fans of Patty’s work.
Patty left the corporate world where she worked as a Managing Consultant to build her coaching business in 2017.
She worked one on one with clients from all walks of life and noticed there were common themes that kept providing breakthroughs improving her clients life so she decided to collate all these learnings and create videos with the simples strategies that helped others and that’s when the online program for adults called Elevate Your Mindset was created.
Due to the simplicity of the tools, she started sharing them in a very entertaining way with her daughters and the Cricket Academy of young athletes that she’s been working with since 2019. She got such great feedback and results she decided to create an Elevate Their Mindset Pre-Teens Online Program.
We all know that when things are kept simple they are remembered and implemented.
Patty walks her talk and in 2018 this was put to the test when her eldest was 6 years old, presenting her with the opportunity to follow through with the growth mindset strategies she taught. As a result her daughter Isabella Bedem Duque became a published author and illustrator on her 7th birthday. In 2019 the book series ‘If I Were an Animal’ was created with 4 books in the series: 1. If I Were an Animal on a Farm 2. If I Were an Animal in the Zoo 3. If I Were an Animal in the Ocean and 4. If I Were an Animal in the Jungle.
As Henry Ford said “Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right”.

Summary of Modules:
MODULE 1: Building Confidence
Understanding that you are UNIQUE, as there is no other person out there like you so it’s important to identify what makes you unique so you can value yourself for who you are and what you bring to others.
“Be you as everyone else is taken”.
MODULE 2: Emotions
This is the game changer as it’s only when children learn how the brain works through a simple explanation that they start to understand the neuroscience of emotions. Understanding this is key for building emotional intelligence.
Behaviour is impacted the learnings and learning two exclusive techniques that can be used any time to control emotions shifting them from negative to positive.
These techniques are used by leading experts and taught around the world.
MODULE 3: Internal Pharmacy
Did you know we all have a pharmacy within us? Patty calls it our own ‘internal pharmacy’ where we can bring awareness too generating our own HAPPY drugs such as reward chemicals, love hormone, mood stabiliser and pain killers!
When pre-teens we learn to generate these very important natural “happy” drugs more joy, fun and happiness can be welcomed into life!
MODULE 4: Self Awareness
Metacognition is a big word, however, Patty breaks it down so pre-teens can start to understand how they can build their self awareness, self worth and therefore their self love.
She breaks down four ways they can increase their self-awareness to be the best version of themselves.
Nobody knows what our children are thinking, as a matter of fact nobody knows what anybody is thinking so this module uses a great analogy to describe the importance of catching your thought before it catches on fire, like a house on fire.
Great technique using an analogy to helps pre-teens breakdown their emotions allowing them to stay calm (or at least given them the tool to work towards it).
MODULE 5: Failures vs Success
It’s hard to believe sometimes that mistakes help us grow and that through analysing our successes we realise that the great achievements in life come with failures, mistakes and a lot of learnings. This is well demonstrated with an ‘iceberg’ exercise that relates any development journey.
This helps them re-direct unhelpful thoughts and actions ensuring they are developing a growth mindset. Children learn to change the meaning of failure and see it as part of their success.
MODULE 6: Time Mastery
Managing time comes down to managing your decision, where you want to spend your time and energy which are our two most precious resources.
Pre-Teens can easily get stressed and overwhelmed with all the pressures school and life brings to them. When these aren’t handled or addressed, pre-teens mental health can really suffer. It’s best too teach them the importance of managing their time helping them turn overwhelm into clarity and allowing them to use their thinking brain instead of their survival brain.
In this module, Patty breaks down how you can go from overwhelm to clarity and shares two simple and exclusive techniques to facilitate school and home life.

If you want a taste of what the course is like… here’s one of the videos explaining that we all have a brain, yet no one has taken the time to explain and simplify how it works so we can understand it and therefore take control over it.
In this video, Patty shares a great hand model created by Daniel Siegel of the brain which breaks the brain into 3 simple areas so your child can understand why we do what we do!
