JULIE in ACTION

 JULIE’S KEYNOTE TOPICS

Lead Unleashed

‘Great’ leadership is a myth…the reality is so much better. And the way you approach it? Completely unique. So read the books, listen to podcasts, learn from mentors…then take what works for you and leave the rest. Do it your way.

Even Cheetahs Slow Down

So the fastest land animal on Earth - the cheetah - spends most of their time resting and you think you can outrun resilience? Fit it in when you have time? Encourage others to care for themselves while you press on? Think again.

For You(th) Only: Leadership Tales with Tails

Whether you’ve been told you’re a leader all your life or you’ve never heard that from anyone, you are. Today. Just as you are. Take it from the animals as they share their leadership tales with tails.
