Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Julia

I am extremely responsive, enthusiastic, and have consistently been described as "an absolute pleasure to work with" by conference planners. You'll work directly with me -- not an assistant -- and I never make you wait more than a few hours for a response. You'll also get my cell #.

My fee covers the keynote. It does not include: printouts/handouts, travel, lodging and a per diem for food.

Before every keynote, I interview audience members who will be present in order to understand their specific pain points. For this reason, my keynotes always feel tailored/customized!

I am always happy to record promo reels and post on social media.

Yes, let's talk.

I like to arrive the night before the event and leave the day after the event. So, generally that's 2 nights in a hotel + airfare.
