Julia's topics

Human-centred leadership for the AI age

Done well, AI isn't a technology roll-out, it's a human challenge. Leaders are under pressure to navigate complexity without a clear roadmap and in an environment of increasing uncertainty. Julia's TRAP-PART framework enables you to choose AI-related decisions instead of drifting into them.

Shaping Better Futures

The future is not yet written. It is also not something we predict or let happen. Instead, it's ours to shape. Julia shows what's at stake and what is possible, challenges established narratives and encourages bold and different visions of what our future can be. She also builds the frameworks that hold up when the landscape shifts.

Work, Talent and What We Value

Technological changes are reshaping work, talent and skills at rapid speed, prompting a critical question: what do we actually choose to value, protect, nurture or change? Julia helps you to navigate this shift by keeping people, judgement and trust at the heart of the evolving nature of work and what holds our organisations and our societies together.

Policy, Power and AI

The hardest questions posed by AI are not only organisational, they are societal. Drawing on senior roles across the European Commission, the G20, international institutions, and entrepreneurship, Julia inspires leaders and policymakers to think clearly about who it serves and to what end, how it is governed, and how to shape the rules rather than just react.

She doesn't just prompt audiences to think differently about AI; she gives them frameworks they can act on, like her TRAP-PART model which doesn't just apply to AI decision-making but to the decisions shaping our futures. Every keynote is bespoke, grounded in evidence and built around the specific conversation an audience needs to have, with human judgement, responsibility and trust kept at the centre rather than treated as afterthoughts.
