The BOLD Factor: How to Be Unforgettable in a Forgettable World
The research is clear: people who feel connected at work perform better, stay longer, and contribute more. Yet most professionals are still operating inside systems that reward polish over presence and productivity over people. The result? Leaders and teams who hesitate to show up as humans and miss out on the connection that drives profitability.
BOLD changes that. Through four principles (Be Human, Open the Door, List Yourself & Live Out Loud, and Do the Work), Julie teaches individuals and teams how to build trust, expand influence, and move opportunities forward without becoming louder, smaller, or someone else entirely. This isn't about "working the room." It's about strengthening the room.
The impact shows up in:
- Stronger collaboration
- Higher engagement
- Increased profitability
- Leaders who build loyalty and create resultsWhen people stop editing themselves to fit a narrow definition of professional and start showing up human, strategically, they don't just grow their careers. They grow the business.
This Sh!t Works: Networking Your Way to Greater Influence and Success
Most people think networking is awkward. Exhausting. A little transactional. Something you "have" to do if you want to get ahead. But what if that belief is the problem?
In this high-energy, no-fluff keynote, Julie Brown flips the script on networking and shows audiences what it actually is: the most powerful career accelerator hiding in plain sight. With humor, straight talk, and zero corporate-speak, Julie delivers tools people can use immediately and still use years later. No awkward scripts. No "work the room" gimmicks. Just real, research-backed strategies proven to build influence, confidence, and momentum.
Julie breaks down:
- Why networking feels uncomfortable (and how to fix it)
- The myths that keep high-performers playing small
- How relationships, not resumes, drive opportunity
- A practical, step-by-step approach to building authentic, career-changing connectionsWhether someone is early in their career or leading a team, this keynote changes how they think about relationship-building and, more importantly, how they do it. Because when you understand networking the right way, it stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like leverage.
