About ChangemakerYOU
ChangemakerYOU exists to equip experienced women with a holistic model of encouragement that cultivates courage and strengthens leadership across generations.
This work is grounded in mutual mentorship and shared growth. Encouragement flows in every direction – older to younger, younger to older, and across communities.
The Challenge We Address
Experienced women carry lived wisdom, yet often lack structured pathways to engage younger changemakers without overstepping. At the same time, many younger leaders seek support that honors autonomy and identity.
ChangemakerYOU bridges that gap with structure, language, and disciplined encouragement practices.
Our Core Conviction
Belonging does not require sameness. Alignment does not erase difference.
Individual clarity strengthens collective impact.
Encouragement becomes part of how women lead and relate when it is woven into the fabric of intergenerational life.
About the Founder
Dr. Patti Ann Talbot’s leadership spans classrooms, counseling offices, administrative roles, university settings, and international study experiences. Across these environments, she observed a consistent pattern: when women are equipped with intentional encouragement practices, courage grows.
