SOUND FAMILIAR?

What Your Team Won’t Say Out Loud

Almost everyone you depend on, you don’t manage.
In this world, trust isn’t a soft skill. It’s how anything gets done.

Discover the Workshop
Just when we finally get the board aligned, half of them rotate off.
I can’t hold volunteers accountable like employees. When someone doesn’t follow through, guess who finishes the work?
Members ask for more programs. Half of them don’t show up. Six months later, they’re asking what they get for their dues.
THIS IS PERSONAL

For Justin Patton, associations and chambers feel like home.

Before he ever took a stage, he taught high school English in Frankfort, Kentucky, and he never stopped teaching.

For over a decade, he’s served on the faculty of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Organization Management, training chamber and association executives nationwide, where he’s one of the program’s highest-rated instructors.

He’s worked with more than 35 chambers and associations, from ASAE to the Kentucky Credit Union League, where he’s taught its emerging leaders for years.

He knows these leaders do big work with small staffs, busy boards, and volunteers who don’t have to show up. That only works when there’s trust.
