Patrick led our leaders through the 5 Practices of Impactful Leaders. When Patrick stepped onto the stage, a wave of enthusiasm swept through the audience. He was profoundly engaging, capturing the attention of every individual in attendance. His insights, anecdotes, and practical strategies resonated deeply, providing our leaders with the tools they needed to elevate their performance to new heights. The impact of Patrick's keynote address was palpable. Our leaders left the conference inspired, invigorated, and with a renewed commitment to fulfilling our collective mission of wholeheartedly serving our residents and patients. The attendees were empowered to embrace growth, surpass their potential, and make a lasting impact within our healthcare organization.”

‘We had Dr. Leddin come in today and speak to our nonprofits in our local area. This was a really cool opportunity because in the past, we've used a lot of local speakers, and a lot of our nonprofits have heard those speakers before. So I really think we had a great crowd to be able to come and hear him for the first time being someone that we brought in from out of town. His presentation was very interactive. So you're not just sitting and listening for an hour. There's lots of tabletop discussions, lots of practical application for our nonprofits, and I really think they enjoyed it thoroughly.”

"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."

Patrick is a powerful and engaging storyteller, but what struck me most are the questions he asks. His questions caused me to think more deeply about myself, those I influence, and the impact I want to make.

I love how Patrick told stories. This was an excellent reminder for me. Stories connect peoples' hearts. Stories help you connect to another individual as a real person with real challenges and successes. Stories move us to action, to change, to grow, and to improve. Stories are remembered, shared, passed down, and interweave our lives together.

"Patrick and I were joint mentors for about 20 first year students at Vanderbilt [University]. One of the things that made our group dynamic was that Patrick always had this really approachable style. From day one, he was sharing some very personal and intimate stories about his life, which created a lot of trust in our group and made everyone really open to sharing things about themselves. So that really stuck with me, and made me prioritize being genuine over being impressive. Patrick changed my leadership story by inspiring me to emulate that really approachable style that he has; and always bring my most authentic self to mentorship."
