Lisa M. Patti M.S., CCC-SLP is the founder of C3Speech.
I became a speech pathologist and later launched C3Speech because as far back as I can remember, I had a love of communication and finding out who people are. I was instantly drawn to people from different cultures that spoke different languages. I wanted to learn from them and had a desire to help those who might be holding back because of their own feelings about their communication. Flash forward and I have been working with international professionals, students and entrepreneurs for more than 20 years.
I thought about the idea of C3 because many great communicators seem to have these three elements that work seamlessly together. Communicating a message that easy to understand, Clarity of speech, accent and voice and deep understanding about how their own Cultures influenced their style. They knew how to be flexible, to use their strengths and continued to develop their communication skills with confidence.
​
My clients range from international accelerator programs such as Starta VC, Investment NSW, EACC, Maison de L'Occitanie to individuals from PWC, EY, Columbia University, and Gunderson Dettmer and international students from across the world.
I am a NYS licensed and ASHA certified Speech and Language Pathologist. Certificates in “Developing Intercultural Training Skills” from LTS Training, Bath, England, “International Certificate in Emotional Skills and Competencies” and “Evaluating Truthfulness and Credibility”, EIA Group, Manchester, England and is a licensed provider of the Global Disc, ICQ Global. I also love to play around with street photography, experience NYC fully, and travel abroad when I can.
