Patty Aubery

Some people build companies. A rarer few help build movements that change how millions of people think, feel, and live. Patty Aubery is one of those people.

She started far from the spotlight and went on to help shape one of the most recognizable personal development brands in the world, Chicken Soup for the Soul. From there, she became President of The Canfield Training Group, helped grow a multimillion-dollar training company, and built a body of work as the author of 14 New York Times bestselling books. Today, through Patty Aubery Consulting, she helps speakers, authors, and trainers turn lived experience into message, message into impact, and impact into a business that actually lasts.

What makes Patty compelling is not just the scale of what she’s built. It’s the deeper story underneath it. She has lived the evolution from support role to strategic force, from helping amplify other voices to teaching people how to finally trust and use their own. Her work sits at the intersection of business, identity, storytelling, and courage. Not the polished kind of courage people post about, but the real kind, the kind that asks whether you’re still hiding inside your own success.

Patty Aubery has spent decades helping people be seen. Which makes her the perfect person to ask what it really costs to stay invisible.
