Julia’s facilitation style is a captivating mix of personal experience & an evidence-based approach, served in a raw, compassionate and humorous style.
A workshop facilitator with over 10 years’ experience, and formerly a consultant at EY, Julia worked on an engagement with the CBA for 7 years, refining and delivering their financial literacy curriculum. Her academic background and leadership experience is complemented by the breadth of her career as an actor, teacher and civil celebrant.
Having professional qualifications as a senior educator, Julia confidently customises content for the audience. Her expertise spans several areas, particularly around relationship building, communication, trauma informed leadership, psychological safety and mental health.
She has deep lived experience with trauma and thrives while integrating the symptoms of mental ill health diagnoses into high performance as well as everyday life. Julia role models the powerful impact of recovery, the possibility of remission and mental health maintenance.
She holds a Bachelor of Performing Arts and a Graduate Diploma of Education. After years of working and studying all over Australia and the globe, Julia is currently enjoying a hybrid lifestyle working in Sydney but also spending several months of the year nesting in the Huon Valley in Tasmania where she runs a small sanctuary for rescued domestic and farm animals.
Have you recently attended the Boundaries keynote?
Was there a video clip, reference or name that you didn't quite catch?
Are you keen to take a quiz and learn more about your boundaries, attachment style or fear response?
Do you want to learn more?
Is your leadership style trauma-informed?
Every single one of your colleagues carries traumatic imprints from the life they've lived so far, and gone are the days when we would pretend that this didn't affect how we show up at work.
Confusion and chaos can be the unintended consequences of ignoring acute, intergenerational, developmental, pre-cognitive or collective trauma.
Many people think it's not their obligation or preference to interact with the trauma based responses of their co-workers, and even if they wanted to, they wouldn't feel confident to do so. However, we already are. On a daily basis, people instinctively act out of their conditioning and their present level of healing and integration.
The choice is to remain baffled by our team mate's behaviours that appear unreasonable, or become trauma-informed so we can approach each situation with compassion, which fast-tracks connection and results.
This presentation works well as a keynote or in a small group setting.
Julia is currently serving as the General Manager of Heart On My Sleeve.
HOMS is a not-for-profit organisation that is leading a global movement to shift our culture around mental health.
We do this through training, peer support and social awareness initiatives that create psychological safety and enable real conversations, so that we can reduce suffering and improve quality of life for those experiencing emotional pain.
