Every room you walk into gets a version of you. This workshop shows leaders which one people actually experience and how to bring their best on purpose. It isn’t motivational. It’s a mirror.
The question is — do you know which one you’re bringing?
Most leaders have never stopped to ask that question honestly. They show up. They lead. They communicate. And they assume the version of themselves they intend to bring is the one other people actually experience. Often it’s not. This workshop changes that. This isn’t motivational. It’s a mirror.
In this immersive half-day experience, Justin Patton takes leaders through the deepest version of his signature It Starts With You framework. Leaders examine how their credibility is built or eroded in the glimpses — the small, unguarded moments people use to decide whether you’re worth following. They explore the three levels of energy every person moves through and learn to recognize which level is driving their leadership, their communication, and their relationships on any given day.
This isn’t about becoming a different leader. It’s about becoming a more intentional one. Leaders who complete this workshop leave with a clearer picture of who they are at their best, what gets in the way of that version showing up consistently, and what it looks like to own their presence in every room that matters. At work. At home. Everywhere in between.
It starts with you.
Because you lead, love, and communicate on the level of your energy. And awareness is where the choice begins.

“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.”
Everyone communicates the way they do for a reason. Using DISC, participants discover their style, read the styles around them, and learn to flex for more trust and less friction.
The speakers people remember aren’t the most polished. They’re the most real. Participants build a clear core message, then deliver it live with real-time coaching.
Emotional intelligence usually stays vague. Using the EQ-i 2.0, leaders see exactly where they’re strong, where they’re off balance, and the one change that moves everything else.
Telling people what to do solves today’s problem and creates tomorrow’s dependency. Led by a PCC-credentialed coach, managers practice the questions that get people thinking for themselves and owning the outcome.
Most influence happens from the side of the table, not the head of it. Participants learn to build support, frame their message, and move ideas forward when they don’t hold the title.
There’s a conversation you’ve been putting off. Using the STEAM model, participants practice saying the hard thing with candor and care, and leave with a plan for the real one.
Most managers aren’t struggling because they don’t care. They’re undermanaging. This workshop turns four trust-building plays into skills managers practice in the room and use the next day.
Give your leaders space to work through real challenges, practice better conversations, and build the habits that help teams trust each other.
