Having seen her speak online, I brought Julie in to speak to our first post-pandemic leadership conference. She was BRILLIANT! The session was every bit as well organized, professional and full of positive energy as I’d hoped. Best of all, my leadership team went away with practical, transferable new techniques that are already helping improve our clients’ experience working with us!

Our participants shared feedback like, “Extremely entertaining and good ideas!”, “Hope we have another opportunity to work with her” and “High energy, great presentation.” As a conference organizer, I highly recommend Julie. She was great to work with and took the time to understand the group. A true professional that is fun to partner with!

We were tasked to find a high-energy, leading female speaker. I booked Julie and watched her on the big stage at the 100,000-person Musikmesse event in Frankfurt and to 1,200 entrepreneurs (plus the Greek Prime Minister) at the EU Investment Fund Conference in Athens. Julie was excellent and received incredible feedback. We’ll be sending Julie on the plane to a lot more conferences!
Jonathan Curran @ Pro-Motivate
Julie presented to my organization today and all I have to say is “Wow!” This was my second time seeing her on separate topics and she was charismatic, endearing, brilliant and insightful. I highly recommend Julie as a speaker to any organization. She made good on her promise of what we would gain from the event. I came away with practical, application “to do’s” that I’m implementing.
