Julie has been an advocate for supporting women and diversity for years, whilst working as an engineer for the last 30 years. She speaks and conducts workshops to encourage women to have more confidence, to set goals and succeed, network and have resilience in a male dominated environment, all based on the skills she has mastered in her own personal challenging journey.

 

Julie can show you how having a Diversity and Inclusion strategy in place can increase your bottom line, create a team of improved problem solvers, be more productive, attract the best talent, retain more employees and create a positive workplace culture.

 

She has spoken to numerous audiences on confidence, resilience and shares her own personal story as an engineer dealing with negative attitudes, bullying and sexual innuendos. She learned the lessons that allowed her to compete in a male dominated world and now she wants to use these lessons to inspire others.

Julie is an excellent presenter!

I had the pleasure of attending Julie’s goal-setting masterclass. From the moment I sat down, I was surrounded by like minded successful business people. Julie is an excellent presenter, who provided business insight, personal feedback, realistic role-plays and taught us invaluable goal-setting skills.
 
Best of all, Julie kept us to task by reviewing our successes. I can’t recommend Julie’s classes enough.
