AskPatty.com, Inc. began as a website with one goal in mind: to help women feel more comfortable when buying or repairing a vehicle. Since 2006 our flagship product, Certified Female Friendly®, has been training dealerships, independent service centers, tire dealers, quick lubes, car washes, and more on the best practices to communicate effectively with women in their local area. Today, we have taken the philosophy that launched Certified Female Friendly®, and expanded it into a suite of Certifications which touch every aspect of automotive business, helmed by a panel of superhero consultants from across the industry, and we call this suite UpShift™. UpShift™ training, certification and consulting provides your present and future employees the tools to create and sustain an equitable and inclusive work environment to compete in a growing diverse market; business leaders must ensure their employees are ready to meet workplace challenges and thrive. UpShift™ training is designed to help you grow a more diverse and inclusive culture, develop leadership skills, develop emotional intelligence, hire, train, and retain more employees, and elevate your automotive business’ operations to higher profitability.
