It Starts With You!
How to build the Leadership credibility people actually trust
Leadership isn’t about you, but it always starts with how you show up.
In this high-energy keynote, leadership presence expert Justin Patton challenges participants to take ownership of their presence and the impact they have on others. Trust, influence, and credibility don’t happen by accident.
This session isn’t just for people with titles. It’s for anyone who leads meetings, builds relationships, drives culture, or communicates under pressure. In other words: everyone.
Through powerful stories, real-time feedback, and audience-driven exercises, participants will walk away with practical tools to show up more powerfully and lead from wherever they are.
Because leadership isn’t about position. It’s about presence.
And that starts with you.

ONE MOVE AWAY
how High-Performing Teams communicate and win together
The real reason teams get stuck isn’t a lack of commitment. It’s a lack of trust. And until that’s fixed, no strategy will stick.
Not surface-level trust. But the kind that makes people turn toward the team when it gets hard instead of protecting themselves, going silent, or disengaging.
This keynote shows leaders how to build the kind of trust that unlocks accountability, initiative, and real performance.
At the heart of Justin Patton’s message is the Treeline Test™—a powerful metaphor that reframes how teams experience trust: Trust isn’t what you say. It’s how you move when someone gets stuck.
With relatable stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and tactical behavior shifts, Justin helps leaders and teams walk away with a repeatable playbook teams can use immediately.

MANAGERS WHO BUILD TRUST
THE Manager's PLAYBOOK FOR BUILDING HIGH-PERFORMING TEAMS
Being a manager is hard. Some days, it sucks. But the best managers know it’s worth it because they change lives. In today’s workplace, every company is competing on the employee experience, and the managers who prioritize it will outperform their competitors. The problem? Most managers are thrown into their role without any formal training on how to bring out the best in others, leaving them to figure it out on their own. This high-energy keynote challenges managers to rethink how they lead by focusing on four essential moves: building authentic relationships, setting clear expectations, leaning into performance conversations, and recognizing what’s right. Great managers don’t just manage people. They move people. They are catalysts for change, champions of people and performance, and the key to an organization’s success. This program is their roadmap to becoming the kind of leader people want to work for and never want to leave.

This interactive keynote challenges leaders to rethink how they communicate by mastering four repeatable coaching skills that drive stronger performance. Through real-time practice and live coaching demonstrations, leaders will learn how to ask better questions, foster accountability, and inspire lasting change. Coaching isn’t just a leadership skill—it’s a competitive advantage. Make it yours.
