Speaker Bio:

​

Julie Holton is passionate about empowering women to dream big with bold confidence.

“I want you to step into the life you really want,” she says. “Not what you think you should be doing, or even what you once wanted to do — but the life you really want. And, not some day, not after the kids are gone — now, on your timeline. The life you want, whatever that looks like, is within reach. Sometimes we just need a little nudge, a little knowledge, and a few girlfriends to help us get there!”

As a bold dreamer herself, Julie has a solid reputation for turning ideas into profitable businesses and successful non-profits. She shares her expertise as a business and marketing consultant and certified entrepreneurship coach, specializing in working with small business startups, creating growth strategies to scale existing businesses, and helping women to leverage their experience into new leadership positions.

A three-time Emmy award-winning writer, TV producer & executive producer, Julie has extensive media and communication experience. Prior to her life as an entrepreneur, she spent more than ten years working in top television newsrooms across the country, producing newscasts, coaching reporters, and working with videographers.
