The North Augusta Chamber will host its second Power Lunch for 2016 on June 7th at the Palmetto Terrace. The event will feature nationally recognized leadership and communication coach, Justin Patton as he presents “It Starts With Me: Energy Trumps Everything”. Patton is an international speaker and coach, his high-energy will keep you entertained and his personal stories of both struggle and failure will challenge you to think different about how you lead, work, and love. He combines both humor and real-life examples to get you thinking about how you show up and how you can learn to see what most people miss.

Patton’s journey took him from teaching high school English and creative writing in Kentucky to coaching leaders in Fortune 500 companies across the country. He managed the National sales training department for Anthem BlueCross BlueShield where he coached top sales performers on how to communicate with stronger impact. Additionally, Justin facilitated leadership and communication skills programs in Russia, Canada, and throughout the United States for Yum! University. After starting his own company, Justin was hired to teach the largest RGM leadership program in Taco Bell’s history and he is now a faculty member for the Institute of Organizational Management. Some of Justin’s clients include Taco Bell, General Electric, National Collegiate Athletic Association, Fifth Third Bank, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, and Leadership Louisville.

At the Power Lunch on June 7th, Patton will speak to the importance of knowing how important the energy you bring truly is, in both professional and personal relationships.

“Here’s the truth: your lack of awareness will keep you playing small. Leadership is not just about driving results but it’s focusing on how we go about getting those results. The energy you show up with every day will determine your leadership legacy,” Patton says.

During his presentation attendees will:

·       examine the #1 way leaders hold themselves and their team back

·       articulate how they want to be perceived as a leader

·       explore the 3 energy levels and the core emotion and actions in each level

·       demonstrate how body language impacts your ability to connect

·       write their leadership ‘brand promise’

Patton promises attendees will leave this workshop with a new mindset on how they lead, love, and communicate. You won’t want to miss this!
