This is a lie

“Assuming we find a way to live on a dead planet (which is questionable and also, sadly, a very real conversation now (see France’s preparation of a survival guide)) fashion will survive. Ignoring the digital world (because I’m too old and just don’t get it) the IRL part - real clothes that we put on real bodies - will continue. It’s just that it will be done, and will have to be done, differently.”

some nice words

  • Julie is a master facilitator. She creates positivity and action from every group session.

    Mia Swainson | Facilitator, Strategist and Executive Coach

  • I want to thank Julie for working with us to bring this workshop to life. Julie did a great job delivering on our vision and helping send our young water professionals back out across the state with a greater awareness of the SDGs. Our conversations with Julie are always fruitful and she provides the clarity and feedback loops to get the rubber hitting the road. A rare skill indeed.

    Michael O’Neil | Victorian Government

  • Thank you again for the fabulous job you did facilitating our planning workshop. You really added so much value to our planning discussions and kept the conversations on track and outcome focussed.

    Jacqui Bell | AusTrade

  • I absolutely hit the jackpot when I found Julie. Bringing her into run several workshops for us was one of the best things I've done this year. She brings a depth of knowledge about sustainability, She is efficient, organised and responsive. More importantly, she brings a real warmth, energy and passion to all her interactions and this plants the seeds of change in others.
