“Highly Recommend This Workshop”

Myisha Smith, Pacifica Hotels

Myisha Smith

Director of Training at Pacifica Hotels
“Justin was passionate, energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun.”

“What I’m taking away is that it’s up to me to manage the glimpses people see. That was so impactful because those glimpses can happen in such a short amount of time and it’s up to me to show up as my best every time so people see the version of me I want them to remember.”

Peter Twachtman

CEO at Lark Hotels
“he really opens the minds”

“We couldn’t imagine having anybody else come and talk to our staff. He used humor, he’s direct and wonderful, he’s empathetic and he really opens the minds of those who come through our doors.”

Terri Steeb Gronau

VP of Division II at NCAA
“so much energy and passion”

“Justin Patton brings so much energy and passion to each of his presentations. And the most important thing is that people walk away having learned something and being able to apply it in their day to day.”

Gary Bradbury

COO, SVP of Corporate Services at National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation
“Justin did his homework”

“The three-hour ELD workshop was time very well spent. Justin provided great examples and practical approaches to build a corporate culture based on trust. He also brought a lot of positivity and energy that kept everyone highly engaged. Justin did his homework in preparing for the workshop by reviewing the employee engagement survey results and tailoring it for us, which made the content very relevant.”

Julie Morales

Julie Morales

Managers Who Build Trust

The Playbook Every Manager Should Have Been Handed

Managers Who Build Trust Workshops

Influence in Rooms You Don’t Run

Get Buy-In Without the Title
