Julie Winkle Giulioni keynote speaker

Julie is the co-author of the international bestseller, Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Organizations Need and Employees Still Want, translated into seven languages and in its third edition. She also authored Promotions Are SO Yesterday: Redefine Career Development, Help Employees Thrive, recognized with Nautilus and Axiom Business Book Awards. Her forthcoming book, Checked Out: Why Engagement Efforts Fail and 4 Everyday Leadership Practices That Succeed, scheduled to be published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers in 2027. It completes a body of work that makes the case that no program, process, or promotion structure has ever done what a single leader can do by showing up differently — and creating the conditions where people choose to engage and grow.

Named by Inc. Magazine as a Top 100 Leadership Speaker, Julie’s in-person and virtual keynotes offer fresh, inspiring, and actionable strategies for leaders who are invested in their own growth and the growth of the people they lead.

She is a regular columnist for Training Industry Magazine and SmartBrief and contributes articles on leadership, career development, engagement, and workplace trends to numerous publications including Fast Company and The Economist. Her newsletter reaches more than 25,000 leaders and HR and L&D professionals worldwide.
