Most audiences are hungry for that effective combination of inspiration and application. If that describes your participants, Julie has some great programs to share as you make your event compelling and memorable!


Julie carefully configures her programs to each event by meeting with organizers to understand their goals and their audience. In this process, she will curate examples, stories, and engagements that help your participants to connect with the models and frameworks she presents. She'll also give them the opportunity to think about how to apply the information directly to their teams and their work.


As the author of the best-selling book Make HOW Matter, Julie has written the definitive guide to leading as a team in a complex and fast-paced world. She'll take your audience through a series of conversations while providing them with inspiring and illustrative examples from her own 30+ year career in the corporate world. They will walk out with a better understanding of how they need to lead and work differently to transform their organizations. As Julie likes to say:


"If you aren't transforming how you lead, you aren't transforming your company."


Her programs are a call to action to leaders to engage in the hard work of leading transformations that ultimately will deliver on strategic goals.


================================================================

The details......


Julie has undergraduate degrees in Information Systems and English, an MBA, and a Ph.D. in Organizational Communication.


Her keynote content is informed by her work around the world with some of the largest companies, where she's helped set and execute strategy and transformation. She's also worked with small to mid sized companies and organizations (for profit, non-profit, and government) to drive success as they seek to grow their revenue and impact their communities.


She has a deep reservoir of experience and expertise that she shares through engaging, honest, and vulnerable stories. Julie will work with you to shape her experiences to your audience's situation and needs so her stories are relevant, relatable, and memorable.


As an educator, Julie has taught and guest lectured in college courses on organizational strategy, behavior, and change. She focuses on helping students connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications.


In addition to her best-selling book Make HOW Matter, Julie is also the co-author of Matter: Move Beyond the Competition, Create More Value, and Become the Obvious Choice. Together with Peter Sheahan, she helps unpack the keys to elevating relationships and building businesses that last.

Growth Enabled Organizations – Driving Impact and Innovation

Growth enabled organizations (GEOs) drive greater impact for their customers, colleagues, and communities.

Julie hosted a panel discussion for our membership that included several CEOs discussing future trends in their industries. She worked with us to prepare the panelists for the discussion and was able to manage both the panel and audience participation in a way that made the experience engaging and thought provoking for everyone. She's great on stage and brings genuine energy and enthusiasm that the audience picks up on and reflects back.

Julie’s workshop was the most engaging and relevant external session we've had in the last few years, with 86% of leaders agreeing it was applicable to their roles. Julie excelled at tying content to our organization, sparking meaningful conversation, and energizing the group—even in the afternoon. The session gave us a strong grasp of Agreement/Alignment and Tensions/Tradeoffs, and helped us build a practical roadmap to execute our strategies. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to inspire and engage a leadership team.

Julie worked closely with our planning team to ensure her keynote was thoughtfully aligned with our audience and objectives. She effectively engaged participants and encouraged meaningful reflection on the importance of transitioning from agreement to genuine alignment around our key goals for the upcoming year. Attendees left feeling energized, focused, and prepared to move forward. I would highly recommend Julie to planning committees seeking a professional, engaging, and impactful speaker who fosters active participation.

Julie provided a keynote for our membership that helped them to really engage with each other and with the content in a powerful way.  Her examples, good humor, and energy got the participants talking with each other and comparing notes as they thought about how they needed to move from agreement to alignment on important parts of their business. Since our audience was made of people from many different companies and they didn’t know each other well, it was nice for them to have the opportunity to share in a structured way.  I would recommend Julie to anyone looking to provide a leadership audience with an engaging and informative session.

Over the years, I've had the chance to work with Julie on a number of virtual keynotes for our signature Leadership Now program. She is very effective at engaging a large audience, and her powerful delivery always keeps our audience engaged even in a virtual environment. Our participants especially appreciate walking away with actionable and meaningful ways to put the content to use immediately.

Julie, I just want to say how awesome your keynote was. The feedback we received from the community was outstanding. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and took away a lot of great ideas. We also received a ton of positive feedback on the Advocacy session. So many folks mentioned that it was one of the best sessions of the meeting. You did a great job facilitating and moving the conversation between the participants. THANK YOU for everything you did for us. We all appreciate you so much!

Julie Williamson and the Karrikins Group team helped us break through and understand how we could identify issues, recognize where individuals stood, and work through barriers to commitment. The engagement fundamentally changed how we approach decision making as a group. The decision framework that Karrikins Group provided will serve as the foundation for how we collaborate and build agreements in the future as well as will be highly leveraged within each of our individual organizations. Karrikins Group has greatly enhanced our executive leadership and strategic decision making.
