Service with Attitude
It will always be about the service! In a high-tech world we still need to be high-touch. We can have the best computer systems but if our receptionist didn't smile at the customer as they walked in, we missed it. It is ultimately our people that will connect with our customers and inspire them to do business with us and continue to do buy from us. Your business is your show, so let us ensure that your people are performing at their best for your customers with the right attitude, with passion and enthusiasm and not that tired, habitual and routine attitude that we so often experience.

Service with Attitude
Reconnection with Resilience
To achieve ongoing success as an individual and as an organisation we need to be resilient. We need to know how to get back up from the mistakes, failures and rejections, we need to be able to handle criticism and feedback and use it to help us to grow and perform at a higher level¦ but to be able to do all or any of that we need to be resilient. When we build this emotional muscle in individuals we create a culture where people will understand that when faced with challenges and adversity you don't walk away, implode and give up, instead you get back up stronger than ever and climb higher. Julie takes what can be a challenging and confronting message and delivers it with an entertaining and inspiring style that has individuals taking responsibility.
Reconnection with Resilience
Leadership¦ what does it really look and feel like?
How can I lead others if I cannot lead myself? In this empowering and uplifting keynote Julie takes delegates back to the foundation of leadership and that is self leadership'. We explore how the relationship we have with ourselves affects the relationship we have with those around us, and leadership is a relationship. The conversations you have with yourself about yourself will affect the conversations you have with others, and leadership is about those conversations. We will be building a strong business on shaky foundations if we don't go back to the beginning and get this right. With her unique and inspiring stories Julie also challenges us to reflect on what leadership, embracing diversity and inclusion really looks and feels like in our work places.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Julie Cross speak twice during our recent overseas Blueprint Conference. She was such a delight to work with leading up to the event. She wow'd our clients and had them in stitches for most of the presentation (which is exactly what we were looking for). She is a very authentic speaker who engages the crowd right from the beginning and has their attention for the entire presentation. She also mixed and mingled with our clients and they all fell in love with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone hosting a conference/event that wants a stand out speaker because that's what Julie is. Thank you Julie, we look forward to working with you again.
Julie, even after a true wish-list of fabulous big name speakers over the Friday and Saturday, your presence on the platform on Sunday absolutely blew everyone away! Your energy, your truth, your connection, and your understanding of life, all combine to make the most amazing impact on everyone present. You are the first speaker mentioned when people call to thank me for our program. The sparkle that emanates from you is not about your sequins, you are pure magic!
Loved, loved, loved your presentation today at the QPLA Conference. You made me laugh, you made me cry, but above all you made me think, thank you so much!
Thank you Julie amazing as always, inspiring, hilarious, real and most of all empowering! From the moment I met you (6 years ago, and followed you on socials ever since), I have grown as a manager and leader because you have changed the way I see challenges and how I overcome them. Thank you for your gift and for sharing those gifts with Affinity.
Julie, you touched my core today, I walked away from todays event shaken but not in a bad way. You spoke about some real truths that really hit home with what I have been through over the past few years. You have given me a new outlook on both my personal and professional life and if you are ever speaking again here in New Zealand I will be the first to buy a ticket!
In our conference survey results you came out by far the top speaker of the whole conference and we had several comments asking if we can get you back again! You are still being talked about as one of the best speakers IAG has ever had!
