Patsy Rowe

Patsy Rowe is a woman of extraordinary talent who has achieved enormous success, much of which can be attributed to her positive attitude, her wicked sense of humour and her impeccable manners. Her first book, Not Sweat Not to Worry She'll Be Jake, a light-hearted look at the often problematic building industry, landed Patsy a job as the only woman appointed to the Board of the Building Services Corporation. Her appointment (sitting in judgement in tribunal hearings of house owner's complaints against builders) led to regular appearances on talk back radio programmes on both the ABC as well as commercial programs. Nowadays, she combines being a best-selling author with coaching in business etiquette, conducting nationwide seminars that are as much fun as they are informative.

Having worked for an American multinational company and travelled extensively for work in the Far East, Patsy sure knows her business and she's happy to teach others what she's learnt. Her seminars cover everything dining etiquette (including a sumptuous four course meal with accompanying wines) to tips on international business travel, gromming and presentation skills, job seeking, report writing and she's had plenty of first-hand experience! After the success of No Sweat Not to Worry She'll Be Jake, Patsy wrote Am I Having Fun Yet? - a humorous look at new step-parenthood, and then went on to put together a collection of humorous anecdotes about her already hectic life in You ARE Leaving Tuesday Aren't You? Her latest book, Secret Women's Business... how to get it all & keep it is packed with indispensable advice on all aspects of getting it all and keeping it all - the dating game to the mating game, even to the hatin game of divorce and picking yourself up the floor - with interviews with 150 women who have 'been there and done that' to tell us how to do it too!

From Business Etiquette to personal etiquette: Manners for the Millennium is a must-have guide to etiquette for men and wmoen and is an invaluable tool for anyone going through the stress of organising a wedding, a divorce, or even a funeral. A practical guide to social survival, it's the perfect way to ensure that your personal skills keep pace with your professional image.

When it comes to manage, you name it, Patsy knows it. She's got the answer to any personal or professional etiquette questions you may have.
