“Heads down” conversation is the new normal. From text messages to video voicemail, our ability to connect with others on a personal level is being challenged every single day by sheer distance. Our knee jerk reaction is to REJECT THE TECH and demand more real, in-person interactions. But what if our ability to communicate meaningfully with others isn’t degrading but is instead EVOLVING?
The way we interact with others – especially in business – is at a tipping point. We can either stay shackled to the old ways of doing business or embrace progress, meeting our colleagues and customers where they already are. By getting creating, being informed and embracing new technology, you’ll be more connected to the people you serve.

"Knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining - what more could you want in a speaker? Julie spoke in Dublin recently and gave an absolutely brilliant talk. She was totally focused on what benefit she can bring to her audience vs just dishing out some 'standard presentation'. And she was generous with her time AFTER she had spoken! She is down to earth, practical and she is also great fun!"Barbara Moynihan, On Your Feet

“It’s not my problem.” “It’s not my job.” “I wouldn’t know where to start.” “I can’t.” “I won’t.” “I quit.”
Imagine inventors saying these kinds of phrases. What if those inventors STOPPED thinking, creating and solving? Terrifying, right?!
But this is exactly what’s happening in YOUR teams, organization and maybe even in your own mind every single day. Whether it’s problem-solving around product development, improving customer service, a time-saving process that leads to better productivity or trying a different way to attract and retain employees –thinking like an inventor changes the game for all of these and so much more!
Finding opportunities to “invent” starts with just one little word and it ends with collaboration, teamwork and an attitude of ownership. Learn how you and your organization can turn the tables on your performance by simply knowing how to think like an inventor.
This highly motivational and inspiring keynote engages and enlightens while empowering your people with the kind of thinking that creates solutions (and an attitude) that is truly inspiring. We’re all inventors at heart; some of us just don’t know it yet!
Program Results:
- Personal initiative will soar when you learn the secret to spotting any problem or opportunity waiting to be solved
- Increase that sense of ownership by understanding how invention is fun, easy and (almost always) free
- Inspire an unlimited supply of ideas and opportunities when you see the world through inventors’ eyes
- An audience that is eager to learn for the rest of the day and the rest of their lives
