"Throughout Dr. Shaw’s career she has taken a lead role in speaking to small and large groups. Her unique perspective as an educator and athletics coach provide her with a comfort level to speak to the masses. Her presentation style is engaging, passionate, yet safe as she helps all to be better leaders. She facilitates conversations in group settings that challenges the individual to share ideas with others while respecting various comfort levels of speaker through encouragement."
"Julie has an incredible way about her when it comes to facilitating a group (in this case of strong-minded, ambitious women). We hired Lead Different Consulting to come in and be an integral part to our strategic planning retreat at the beginning of the year. As a volunteer-based Board of Directors, we needed someone who could not only blend team building, but also ensure we were walking away with an agreed upon action plan - leaving us charged for next steps. Julie kept the group engaged, and our day together was the right mix of productivity and playfulness, with numerous 'Ah Ha' moments. She instinctively knew when she needed to command the room, regaining everyone's attention, while other times we were encouraged to explore and deliberate as we worked through various topics. If you are looking to bring in a facilitator who will have impact, Julie and Lead Different Consulting are for you!"
"We partnered with Lead Different to help design, deliver and execute our Management Essentials program, offered to all managers (c5,000) globally at WarnerMedia. We had ambitious plans to create and execute this over a two year span, so had a very tight timeframe to create and deliver this from scratch. We appreciated Julie and Erica’s background in sports leadership which they infuse into their work and their style and approach to leading sessions really resonated with our audience. We had an extremely aggressive timeline and could not have been more impressed with the speed, clarity, innovation, thought leadership and quality of work we receive from Erica and Julie. They were both extremely consultative and empathetic, hands on with the work to ensure high quality of output and flexible with us as our needs changed. The program was a resounding success with feedback in the high 90’s across the board and numerous comments of praise for the work of Erica, Julie and their Conversation Catalysts' facilitation skills and ability to engage the audience as well as the unique approach to how we created the content. I highly recommend the work and talents of Lead Different."
