- Michael Kephart, President, Kephart Group Inc.

- Senior Leader, United States Secret Service
"Patrick Leddin's keynote was especially relevant to my leadership and managerial responsibilities. As a leader of a large organization, I regularly attend leadership lectures. Dr. Leddin's challenge to lead myself produced real results for my team that other leadership forums did not. If you need a leadership speaker, hire him!"
- Dr. John Nichols, Collegeside Church of Christ

- Danielle Kates, G7 Entertainment Marketing
"Dr. Leddin's keynote presentation is the springboard to launching a culture of leaders. After hearing him speak, I was inspired to use his resources to commit to becoming the best leader of myself and then use those same skills to lead others. This shift in mindset and priorities translates to every aspect of my life- academics, athletics, community service work, and interpersonal relationships. Today, I am a better student, athlete, co-worker, and friend. Thank you, Dr. Leddin."
- L Westlake, Youngest American Woman to Summit Mt. Everest
"Perhaps the greatest recommendation that I can give for Patrick's work is that when I was looking for an executive facilitator for my favorite client, I called Patrick. He wasn't content to just show up and teach but instead came to the table with a partner's mindset. That mindset, paired with his engaging authenticity and intellectual generosity, made all the difference."
- Adam Pingel, Ariel, Vice President, Global Clients
"Patrick changed my leadership story by inspiring me to emulate that really approachable style that he has."
- Aaron Chasan, President, Personally
"Patrick Leddin has broken the code on leadership training by emulating the habit formation of elite athletes: manageable and personalized daily training; relevant and introspective exercises; and a comprehensive but digestible portfolio of lessons that build muscle memory while becoming innate, involuntary reflexes. A tangible way of life inside and outside the corporate office with a sharpened sense of consistency and purpose. Brilliant!"
- Stryker Warren jr., endurance athlete, healthcare executive, serial entrepreneur, mentor
"I invited Dr. Patrick Leddin to speak at our company's annual conference. What a terrific experience!

Our leaders left the experience with an actionable framework to begin a powerful leadership journey. Both engaging and insightful!”
- Shawn Moon, CEO Zerorez Carpet Cleaning
"Thanks so much for providing a thought-provoking and insightful session that left us with tools and ideas on how to approach our negotiations and client relationships. I heard a lot of feedback from our attendees tonight that they found the session valuable and are taking home some new ideas to apply to their daily client interactions. One of our international attendees said they had been to a few negotiation seminars, and this one was the best because it was practical and applied globally. I know our team enjoyed the interaction with you, and we wish we'd had even more time!
Thank you for your preparation and skill in moderating the session."
- Heather Varela, Vice President, dMed Clinipace
- Dr. Alex Eicher, Wiliamson County, TN
