From keynotes and conference sessions to leadership program kick-offs and team building retreats, Julie can help make your event a success. This is not your typical speaker at the front of the room….this is an experience full of new twists on old problems supported by business case studies, applicable tools, and inspirational animal stories gleaned from her 25+ year career. With a little help from sea turtles, cheetahs, sea cucumbers, and even naked mole rats, Julie will share how to drive change, lead teams, and build resilience while taking your audiences to (literally) new frontiers!
Need to infuse your conference, retreat, or leadership program with motivation and energy?
Are you a STEM professional who doesn’t quite connect with the ‘typical’ leadership approach? Or wondering who can really ‘get’ the unique pressures of leading in conservation?
Searching for a speaker who can connect with youth through real world experience and actionable content - while valuing the leaders that they already are?
Youth leaders are a special combination of progress and potential - they bring valuable experience into each session and are full of energized potential waiting to be unleashed. And whether they are outgoing and bold or an introvert and reserved, Julie is excited to help them embrace their unique approach to leadership. Because it’s not about the stereotypical view of who a leader is - it’s about helping each youth leader lean into and become more of the leader that they already are.
Hey STEM professionals - that unique lens through which you see the world? That’s an asset to the way you can uniquely lead. Once you understand how to fully leverage your scientific brain as a leader, you will be unstoppable.
Calling all conservation leaders - feel like leadership development is constantly falling behind the more pressing issues you are leading like active field work, securing funding, or managing a wide array of staff / volunteers / interns? Julie gets where you are coming from and can help bring leadership development front and center without making it ‘one more thing to do’. Because what got you here won’t get you there - now is the time to intentionally craft your future as a leader in conservation.
Leadership -
inspired by wildlife,
grounded in action,
always joyful!
Helping you drive change, lead teams, and build resilience.
“Julie is smart, thoughtful, personable, and an easy person to work with. I would recommend Julie to anyone.”
