Julie Winkle Giulioni

Most organizations try to solve the employee engagement and development problem with programs. Julie Winkle Giulioni has spent three decades making the case that the answer was never a program. It’s always been the leader. And she’s dedicated her career to helping leaders drive the engagement, growth and results required for success. Julie is the co-author of the international bestseller, Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Organizations Need and Employees Still Want, translated into seven languages and in its third edition. She also authored Promotions Are SO Yesterday: Redefine Career Development. Help Employees Thrive, recognized with Nautilus and Axiom Business Book Awards. Her forthcoming book, Checked Out: Why Engagement Efforts Fail and 4 Everyday Leadership Practices That Succeed, completes a body of work built on a single conviction: you can't program engagement or schedule development. But leaders can create the daily conditions where both become possible. She is a regular columnist for Training Industry Magazine and SmartBrief and contributes articles on leadership, career development, engagement, and workplace trends to numerous publications including Fast Company and The Economist. Named by Inc. Magazine as a Top 100 Leadership Speaker, Julie's in-person and virtual keynotes offer fresh, inspiring, and actionable strategies for leaders who are invested in their own growth and the growth of the people they lead. Her firm, DesignArounds, creates and offers training to organizations worldwide and has earned praise and awards from Human Resource Executive Magazine's Top Ten Training Products, New York Film Festival, Brandon Hall, and Global HR Excellence Council.
