Every day we work to be the best possible version of ourselves, professionally and personally. The UP Conference is a day devoted to that work and to lead the charge we are very excited to bring you Fortune 500 Executive Leadership Coach and International Speaker, Justin Patton. Justin challenges leaders to think differently about how they lead and communicate. His high-energy and interactive approach keeps audiences engaged, and his message forces leaders to come face-to-face with themselves and tell the truth about how they are showing up. Justin will challenge you to communicate and lead more effectively. You DON'T want to miss this conference!! Click here for a complete bio on Justin and video clips of his work.
