NY, US
Lived it, learned from it, and love to share it. Changing hearts, minds and lives one word at a time!

Patrick Longo is CEO of Upaya Partners, a firm specializing in transforming companies and people through company culture, change and talent management, storytelling and storyselling.

His life's greatest passion is to share his successes and more so, his mistakes and failures, so others can be motivated to learn from his life through powerful anecdotes and self-deprecating humor, and reach ever greater heights in their professional and personal lives.

He's a recognized motivational speaker and facilitator available for keynotes, training, and content delivery for company culture, change management, organizational development, talent acquisition, personal branding and development, sales, customer experience, customer service, and crowdfunding.

As a lifelong creative, he also enjoys his "free" time as a filmmaker, screenwriter, composer, musician, and author of several professional and personal development books. He channels this personal experience through his commitment to helping others harness their creativity, drive, and spirit.

His two BHAGs are to speak on the main stage at TED and, after raising $23,000 on Kickstarter for its debut in Schenectady, NY on 09.13.14, see his sung-through musical, "Cassandra," produced on Broadway.

The Just Disease: Win the Battle Against Your Fear of Mediocrity

Have you ever said the words "I'm just..." before telling someone about your job, your life, or who you are, and what you "do?" Chances are you've done this at a party, a reunion, a conference or even on a date. Stop negating your worth, your achievements and the core of your being!
