Signature Keynotes

The challenges facing leaders today are rarely a lack of knowledge. They are a lack of clarity, courage and perspective.

Julie’s keynotes challenge conventional thinking, spark meaningful conversations and help leaders recognise what is holding them back, what matters most and what it will take to move forward with confidence in a rapidly changing world.

Are You Playing to Win? Or Playing Not to Lose?

How Success Can Become the Biggest Barrier to Future Growth

Success gives us something to lose. A reputation. A market position. A proven way of working.

What feels like good judgment can sometimes limit growth, innovation and future success.

This keynote challenges leaders to recognise when they have shifted from playing to win to playing not to lose.

Leading Through Disruption

How to Stay Clear, Focused and Effective When Everything Changes

The most important leadership decision you will ever make is how you choose to lead yourself. Not when things are going well. When they are not..

When disruption, uncertainty and change arrive, the leaders who thrive are the ones who can stay clear, adaptable and focused on what matters most.

Leading What Matters

How to Build a High-Performing Culture When Everything Is Pulling Your Leaders in Different Directions

When everything feels urgent, leaders stop leading and start reacting.

They get pulled into the doing, lose sight of what matters most and spend their days solving problems instead of creating momentum.

This keynote helps leaders lift their eyes from the busy work and focus on the conversations, decisions and priorities that drive performance, culture and results.

Custom keynote presentations are also available.

Including Julie’s signature keynote, You Always Have a Choice, adapted to suit
your audience, conference theme and event objectives.

"I wanted to say a big thank you for your keynote at the conference. The session you held is invaluable as it allows a person to sit and reflect on the concepts and quite often allow us to reflect on our behaviour and actions and how this can be viewed by others. It is what we look to do when we attend these sessions, which make it more rewarding."
