Made in Canada :
A Conversation in Leadership
In her powerful and timely conversation, Julie calls on Canadian leaders to stop mimicking American leadership models and start embracing what makes Canadian leadership unique.
She argues that while Canadians think, speak, and connect differently—from our boardrooms to our break rooms—our leadership styles too often default to U.S. approaches that feel misaligned and inauthentic here.
​
Julie champions a leadership style rooted in Canadian values: empathy, humility, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. With a warm, witty tone and sharp insight, she reminds us that Canadian leadership is quietly powerful—not flashy, but deeply effective. Politeness isn’t passivity, and kindness is not a lack of ambition. Her rallying cry is clear: this is the time for bold, empathetic, homegrown leadership.
​
Julie challenges every leader in the room to stop diluting their message, and instead lead with the full force of Canada’s values, culture, and quiet confidence.

Leadership Without a Script : Courage as Your Compass
Julie shares a deeply personal and powerful story about stepping into leadership without prior experience—and without a playbook. Set in the early days of her first management role, she describes the emotional rollercoaster of leading a small but important division of her company.
What followed was a courageous, high-stakes decision to make a significant change to the existing business model —an act that felt isolating and terrifying, yet proved to be transformative.
Julie distills her experience into five key leadership lessons. The story is a call to lead with integrity even when there’s no clear script—using courage as a compass.
​
Ultimately, the Julie reminds us that true leadership often begins in moments of uncertainty, when we choose values over comfort—and that those moments shape not just our organizations, but ourselves.
