Julie's Bio

I’m not just a networking expert—I’m proof that it works. I spent 25 years in the male-dominated construction industry, rising from assistant to top business developer and generating over $562M in project opportunities. I didn’t do it by luck—I did it through relationships. Now, I teach women, leaders, students, and rising pros how to build the kind of network that fuels careers and drives results. My process is practical, proven, and doesn’t feel like a chore—because real networking should feel like something you want to do. Opportunity doesn’t knock. It echoes from the connections you’ve built.

Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Julie

I’m here to make this the most seamless, stress-free experience possible—for you (and your client). I’m collaborative, responsive, and all in on delivering a memorable, high-impact experience that leaves your audience buzzing (in the best way).

My fee includes planning calls, stakeholder meetings, the keynote itself, and post-event follow-up. When you hire me, you get me for the day—fully present, fully engaged, and committed to making your event a success from start to finish.

Absolutely. I always work with clients to tailor my keynote to align with your audience and event theme—while ensuring the core learning objectives and takeaways remain strong, clear, and intact. Custom vibe, same powerful impact.

I love building buzz before an event! I engage with client social posts, share custom content with my audience, and create teaser reels to boost excitement and attendance. Check out examples on my YouTube channel!

I love when audience members reach out after an event, I personally respond to every email and connect with them on LinkedIn (when they request). I’m happy to keep the conversation going, but I never market to attendees unless they specifically ask for my info.

Yes, yes, and yes. I teach networking and connection—it’s baked into everything I do. So whether it’s a quick chat, a book signing, or a full-on meet-and-greet, I’m in. Those human moments after the talk? That’s where it all clicks.

I never want money to be the reason we don’t work together. I’m always open to creative solutions to make it work within your budget—let’s chat and see what we can come up with!

Slides are always available. Recordings can be provided upon request, and I’m happy to create custom leave-behinds or handouts to reinforce key takeaways and keep the momentum going after the event.

I’m happy to discuss recording and media rights based on your event needs. In most cases, internal use is totally fine. If you’d like to use footage for external promotion or resale, we can talk about extended rights and agree on terms in advance.

For events requiring air travel, I charge a flat travel fee of $2,000. This covers flights, hotel, ground transportation, meals, and all the logistics—simple, straightforward, and stress-free for your team.
