**********************************************************************

Julie’s work focuses on leadership clarity, consistent expectations, and the systems teams need to move faster and make fewer avoidable mistakes. She partners with organizations from the inside, translating values into behaviors and helping leaders communicate in a way that people trust. Her approach is deliberately simple: reduce friction, increase alignment, and build leaders who show up with consistency, even when things get hard.

She’s known for creating structures that outlast the retreat, the offsite, and the initial burst of enthusiasm. For consultants, her perspective is highly relevant. Julie’s toolkit shows what it takes to shift culture in environments where stakes are high and tolerance for dysfunction is low. Her lens helps consultants better diagnose the real source of team issues and guide leaders toward actionable, repeatable habits.

Proposed Interview Structure:

1. What originally led you into leadership and culture consulting, and when did you realize that fractional work was the best model for the kind of impact you wanted to have?

2. What core problems do you solve inside client organizations, and what patterns do you see most often when teams tell you they’re “fine” but aren’t actually executing well?

3. Who are the clients you serve best today, industries, leadership levels, team dynamics, and who inside those organizations typically brings you in?

4. How do most of your engagements start? What has worked best for you in consistently attracting the kinds of clients who value embedded leadership and culture support? Current Acquisition Channels: Content, Speaking engagements.

5. Your work often starts with trust and a clear sense of urgency. What does your sales process look like from first conversation to signed engagement, and what helps leaders decide “yes, we need this now”?

6. Once you're working with a client, what keeps them coming back? How do you structure relationships, communication, and results so your engagements stay long-term and expand over time?

7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now in your own work, capacity, client expectations, scope, or something else (if at all)?

8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunity for leadership and culture work over the next few years, especially in post-merger or PE-backed environments?
