Justin Pickens transforms educational outcomes by helping teachers rediscover their purpose and impact. With 13 years of experience as a teacher and coach, Justin overcame significant childhood challenges that could have led to incarceration or addiction, instead channeling those experiences into his work as an educational catalyst.
After briefly exploring opportunities outside education, Justin returned to his true calling with renewed focus. He has dedicated his career to empowering educators who face burnout and diminishing motivation in today's challenging educational landscape.
Justin specializes in helping teachers reconnect with their original passion for education while providing practical strategies to create positive generational change. His approach combines personal resilience techniques with evidence-based teaching methodologies that address modern classroom challenges, particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Justin seamlessly works humor in his speeches to make educators laugh, cry and leave encouraged. Audiences leave with concrete tools to reignite their educational purpose, practical methods to connect meaningfully with challenging students, and renewed confidence in their ability to create lasting positive impact beyond the classroom.
Book Justin to transform your educational team from merely surviving to genuinely thriving while creating ripple effects that will benefit generations to come.
