“Pat Layton invited me to join her Mastermind group seven years ago—and we’re still together. In that group I found a safe place to ask my hard questions about speaking, writing, and leading. It was also a place where women in ministry leadership shared knowledge freely and collaborated with each other’s projects. Pat is a gifted leader who offers wisdom, experience, and encouragement to women in transition. You’ll find her to be a coach who listens carefully, applauds your successes, and gives specific next steps for the journey ahead of you. I highly
recommend her!”

“I have been in a Mastermind group with Pat Layton since 2017. It has been a place of endearing encouragement, brilliant brainstorming, and pivotal problem solving when we’ve needed it most. Through the years we’ve cheered each other on and dried each other’s tears. A strong
Mastermind group transforms a lonely writer into part of a family with similar goals and callings.

Every mastermind I’ve ever been a part of has moved me forward in my ministry. Being in a mastermind with Pat has brought so much wisdom to my life! You can’t go wrong doing a mastermind with her!”
JILL SAVAGE
Speaker, Author and Coach
I have been in a Mastermind with Pat for eight years, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! My ministry and career have been strengthened, and I’ve been able to keep pace with the everchanging media, technology, and publishing world because of it.

Being in a mastermind group has been a wonderful gift. It’s awesome to find women who have “been there and done that” who are willing and eager to share wisdom from their ministries (feel free to change ministries to “careers”) and families. There is no competition; only camaraderie, friendship, support, and lots of laughter.

Who is this for?
The woman who has already built something meaningful …
A family. A ministry. A business. A career. A life that reflects your love for God and years of faithfulness and hard work.
But deep down, you know you’re not finished.
Maybe God is stirring a brand-new dream. Maybe He’s breathing fresh life into one you’ve carried for years. Or perhaps you’re standing in the middle of more opportunities than ever before and aren’t sure which one deserves your “yes.”
The landscape is changing. Your season is changing. And you know it’s time to make some courageous decisions.
You believe God created you for a purpose. You know your story, your wisdom, your message, and your ideas have value. But right now, clarity feels just out of reach.
There are too many options. Too many moving pieces. Too many voices competing for your attention.
You don’t need more information. You need clear direction.
You need someone who can step back, see the big picture, identify what is truly working, quiet the distractions, and help you build around what matters most. Someone who understands both calling and strategy.
Someone who can help you uncover what God is inviting you into next—and create a simple, sustainable plan that is aligned with your purpose, your season, and your life.
If you’re ready to move from overwhelmed to focused, from scattered to strategic, and from wondering “What’s next?” to confidently walking in it…
You’re in the right place.
“A Woman’s Quest Mastermind” is for Christian women — speakers, writers, and leaders …
You’ve already built something meaningful but you need help, partnership, community
You’ve invested years serving others through your ministry, business, writing, speaking, coaching, or leadership. You’ve gained wisdom, experience, and credibility—but you know God isn’t finished with your story.
You can see the potential for more …
A bigger message. A stronger platform. A clearer business. Greater impact.
But getting there feels harder than it should.
- Your ideas are scattered. You have too many offers, too many opportunities, and too many projects competing for your attention.
- Your marketing feels inconsistent.
- You’re working hard but aren’t always sure what’s creating growth.
- You know your message is valuable, but you’re struggling to communicate it clearly and build a business that reflects your calling.
You’re ready to stop guessing, and you’re ready for:
- A clear message that people immediately understand.
- Offers that naturally lead people to their next step.
- A simple strategy that aligns your ministry, business, speaking, writing, and coaching.
- Marketing that feels authentic instead of exhausting.
- A business that grows without consuming your life.
You don’t need another course. You need strategy.
You need someone who can see the big picture, simplify the path, and help you build what God has uniquely called you to.
That’s where I can help.
Thank you so much for the call. The time spent with you was anointed, refreshing, challenging, and so appreciated! God is most certainly using you in a powerful way!
Working with Pat through A Woman’s Quest program gave me valuable clarity about where I am in my personal, faith, and ministry journey. I’ve often struggled to put my goals and dreams into words, but Pat helped me draw them out and express them with confidence. That clarity has now become a focused action plan I’m excited to move forward with!

About Pat
I help Christian women step into the calling God has placed on their lives—not by striving harder, but by gaining the clarity, confidence, and courage to move forward with purpose.
For more than 40 years, I’ve served women as a pastor, ministry leader, author, speaker, and certified life coach. I’ve walked alongside thousands of women through seasons of transition, healing, leadership, writing, speaking, and discovering God’s unique purpose for their lives. My books, courses, retreats, coaching, and leadership training have helped women around the world move from feeling stuck to living with renewed freedom and intention.
Today, I work with women who know God is calling them to something more. Whether you’re building a ministry, writing your first book, growing a business, leading others, or simply trying to find your footing in a new season, I help you quiet the noise, hear God’s voice, and create a path that is both faithful and strategic.
My gift is helping you see what God has already been weaving throughout your story. I connect the dots between your experiences, your gifts, your message, and your next step—bringing clarity where there has been confusion and confidence where there has been doubt.
I help you move from…
“I know God is calling me… I just don’t know what comes next.”
to…
“I know who I am, what I’m called to do, and I’m ready to walk in it.”
