About

Once a Mija, always a Mija.

Mija Leadership Coaching was founded to embolden, inspire, and liberate Latinas by connecting them with the leader within. The name Mija is well known to Latinas as an endearment of care and concern. It can be said by someone related or in community.
Our Mission

To embolden minds and inspire the hearts of Latinas leaders. By creating the conditions that connect to the leader within so that they can be a confident leader in the world.

Our Vision

We dream of a day when there is a critical mass of Latinas leading the world with courage, compassion and clarity.

Our goal is to guide you toward your next breakthrough. We help you align with your values to make the next step decisions from a place that resonates with the leader within YOU. Every coaching journey begins with a conversation. We start with a discovery call to explore your goals, challenges, and vision for the future. This is a chance for us to learn more about each other and determine if we’re the right fit to walk this path together. Coaching is built on trust, connection, and shared purpose—let’s build your future together.

CEO, Founder and Vision Officer

Pat Sosa VerDuin is a mentor, coach, and advocate committed to creating spaces where Latinas can step into their power. Pat’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and unwavering commitment to elevating Latinas into leadership.

The daughter of Mexican-American migrant workers, she was taught that success meant blending in—but over time, she discovered that true leadership comes from embracing who you are and creating space for others to rise. Her own experiences of navigating identity, opportunity, and belonging shaped her passion for coaching and advocacy.

Through Mija Leadership Coaching, she walks alongside Latinas, guiding them to step into their power, launch their businesses, and lead with confidence. She believes in the power of relationships, opening doors so that others can walk through. What’s your story? Let’s connect.
