Your mind gets in the way of success? Call Dr. Drayton Patterson.

Why
Story

{

I believe that most people will succeed upon identifying their passion, core values, and learn how to set goals appropriately.

Lesson Learned

Practice can lead to perfect, but also permanent injury. I injured my pitching shoulder by practicing an excessive amount (more than 100 pitches daily for years). It was too much stress on my arm.

Highlights

My shoulder injury and 3 1/2 years of rehabilitation therapy taught me the importance of perseverance and preparation

Working in a psychiatric hospital as a therapist allowed me to learn how much I love psychology and helping others

Becoming a School Psychologist showed me the importance of helping students, teachers, and families understand the learning style of students, thus helping students learn in a modality that was most effective for them

Serving as a Professional Baseball Scout and Sport Psychologist for the Texas Rangers gave me a greater insight into analyzing strengths and deficit areas of some of the world's most talented and wealthy individuals....and the fact that they are no different than the person who makes $6.00 per hour

Being asked to co-author a book with Jack Canfield. "The Road To Success, Vol. 1" has allowed me to share my knowledge and my experience in psychology, business, education to help others become "the best that they can be"

Important Partners That Helped Along the Way

Getting More Story Behind the Story

More pivital moments: Founding my Stress Reduction Clinic in Chicago. Being named the first player/manager with a Ph.D. in Psychology in professional baseball as well as being a School Psychology Intern Supervisor and Administrator. Each of these experiences revealed the importance of having proper leadership in place for people in order for their potential to be actualized.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
