Speaking

 

We know that resource constraints and convenience can sometimes get in the way of the support you and your colleagues need.

That’s why we offer crafted sessions and programs designed to inform, inspire and ignite your audience.

And because every setting is different, our expertise allows us to bring fresh insights and ideas to motivate your people and help you learn, act, change and grow.

 

What do I need to know about your speaking engagements?

I speak about wellbeing, positive psychology, coaching and change to groups, and teams, large or small, virtually or in person.

Clients for speaking engagements include:

  • Global, regional, or national associations

  • Private or public sector organisations

  • Industry networks

  • Role-specific cohorts; and

  • Special interest groups.

All clients for my speaking engagements seek an independent, credible external speaker, with a great reputation and proven expertise.

A seasoned, highly skilled speaker, I bring significant expertise and kudos to my delivery, having crafted and delivered compelling speaking engagements for over twenty-five years.

You may seek external expertise to:

  • Provide an external, evidence-based focus on a specific workplace or personal topic

  • Inform and inspire different perspectives

  • Offer fresh insights into a common challenge or theme

  • Forge greater connection and collegiality

  • Spark new ideas, ways of thinking and working

  • Generate hopeful possibilities for the future.

Applause

  • “After working with Julie personally, I knew she would be the perfect fit for an event I was running. Just a short phone call outlining what we were looking for was all she needed before coming back with an incredibly thorough and thoughtful proposal for her involvement. As a speaker, she is articulate, intelligent, and clear. I almost forgot we were running an event for other people as I just wanted to chat with her about the material! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Julie to anyone looking for a guest speaker for small or large groups.”
