Julia's insightful and inspiring take on mental health was thought-provoking and empowering. Julia's expertise and passion for mental health resonated deeply and provided practical strategies to support our well-being in the workplace.
Julia has the ability to captivate and engage the audience from start to finish. Through her personal anecdotes, research backed insights and very practical and relatable strategies, Julia effectively conveys the importance of taking care of our mental wellbeing whilst setting a safe, inclusive and comfortable space for her audience to absorb her knowledge and skills. What sets Julia apart is her genuine compassion, understanding through lived experience, relatable stories and the HILARIOUS way she delivers her message. Julia had us in fits of laughter through most of her presentation. Hearing the roars of laughter was a real treat for me as the organiser. To top it off, we were also honoured and blessed that Julia sang for us. She has the voice of an angel and hearing her sing just seals the deal for a very successful presentation.
Julia had a light hearted approach to what can be a serious topic. Our staff who work in a very 'live' environment and have to deal with stressful issues enjoyed the open and honest conversation about being mindful of what or how others may or may not be coping mentally with the stress of their jobs or home life. It has opened up a dialogue in our team and already l've heard a number of staff using her terminology of having a wobbly moment.
