Optimism supercharges growth, connection, and success.
The speed of disruption is breakneck, and people can’t sustain focus and drive results when they are constantly responding with anxiety. A far better position for leaders is to help people to be changeable, resilient, and confident in themselves and the organization, and that starts with understanding how optimism fuels results.
This engaging and energizing keynote effortlessly weaves together audience-appropriate examples, entertaining stories, and Julie’s personal experiences. It is relevant to all audiences, and Julie tunes each keynote to bring appropriate examples that are meaningful to your industry, association, or group. Participants walk away with an appreciation for the power of optimism in their own leadership, and how they can tap into it with intention and purpose.

Don’t lead towards a strategy – Lead through it.
Study after study shows that strategies consistently fail to convert to results. And yet, strategy is a powerful accelerator when it is used as a tool to guide decision making and direction. In this engaging and provocative keynote, Julie challenges the audience to think about their own understanding of strategy and planning, and the risk that comes from focusing too much on plans at the expense of strategy. Participants will leave energized to lead through strategy and manage to plans as they drive their businesses forward.
