About Justin

Challenging Leaders to Reimagine How They

Lead, Love, and Communicate

“Justin Patton has outdone himself with each speaking engagement we have hired him for. He keeps bringing a fresh message and super charged inspiration and motivation to every presentation. He's a rock star motivator!

Keith Cole | President at Association of Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisees

I believe my purpose is to empower people

to make their voice and presence matter.

I believe this not because I have it all together or because I have it all figured out. I believe this because I know what it’s like to get it wrong—to not live up to your potential.

You see, when I was 18, my dad unexpectedly passed away.

At that moment, everything changed. 

As an 18-year-old kid who did not know how to handle pain that deep, I coped the only way I knew how and that was by emotionally disconnecting.

I threw myself into my career, used external achievements to validate myself, lacked empathy in relationships, and communicated from my ego.

It took 12 years to have my wake-up call. I realized if I was going to play bigger, I needed to start making some different choices and get out of my own way.

Today I have the privilege of taking all the lessons learned, all the training and certifications I've acquired, all the books I've written, and use it to help others reimagine how they show up in the world.

INCREASED SELF-AWARENESS

Justin creates a safe space for people to look at themselves and their potential differently. He reminds them who they are at their best, how they might be holding themselves back, and how to communicate with stronger emotional intelligence. Every organization benefits when its leaders have more self-awareness about who they are and how they show up every day.

ACTIONABLE FOLLOW THROUGH

Justin wants individuals to leave his program feeling inspired. However, he understands that motivation without action is good intentions, and you don't transform someone's life or an organization with good intentions. Justin has audience members commit to one breakthrough step they'll immediately take, and he partners with his contacts to provide follow-up activities that drive repetition and retention over 90 days.
