About my speaking

I speak about positive psychology, coaching, wellbeing and change to large and small audiences.

  • Forge greater connection and collegiality

  • Spark new ideas, ways of thinking and working

  • Private or public sector organisations

  • Industry networks

  • Role-specific cohorts; and

  • Special interest groups.

“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.”
