Most change initiatives fail — because they avoid the one place transformation truly begins — within.
Real change — whether organisational or individual — starts with a shift in self-perception. Lasting influence doesn't come from metrics, tools, or strategy. It comes from understanding the unseen patterns shaping every decision, relationship, and action.
For over two decades, I've challenged the myths of modern leadership. My work exposes the inner blocks that hold leaders back — and shows how to break through them.
This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience. From Glasgow council tenements to founding The Awakened Leader Consultancy, I’ve transformed my life — and helped countless leaders transform theirs.
My work challenges leaders to go deeper and look where others won't — sparking inspiration to think, see and lead differently.
If you want a talk as part of a retreat, workshop or leadership circle, that truly leaves a mark let's have a conversation
As an award-winning speaker and retreat leader, I bring a fresh perspective to leadership.

With an overemphasis on purely rational thinking in today’s 24/7 world, intuition is often overlooked as business leaders struggle to swim in a sea of information overload. The result is a world that is too mechanistic - stripped of depth, creativity and real value.
By learning to trust and attune to inner guidance and systems as a whole, leaders can more easily identify core issues, make wiser decisions, form stronger teams, find fresh purpose and innovative solutions.
Fundamentally, they become better people thereby improving relationships, enriching workplace culture and enhancing overall performance.

Many people today work and live at such a furious pace that they aren’t listening to their real needs. If leaders want to create an engaged workforce, they must begin by effectively managing their own energy and personal impact.
Leaders orchestrate organisational energy and can motivate or demoralise others by how well they manage their energy, mindset and behaviour on a daily basis. Like the rest of the universe, human beings are essentially energy systems, not purely physical and psychological systems.
Although time is finite, the amount and quality of personal energy we have at our disposal can be changed.
Juliette challenged our thinking, energised us, made us appreciate a different view of the world and did so with an impressive mixture of “tough love” and a genuine sense of caring. An excellent speaker who did more than we could ever have asked of her and delivered great value at our high profile Annual Conference.
Alastair Thomson, Dean, Teesside University Business School
Outstanding...has to rank among the very best. A very thought provoking and professional performance.
Allan Wilkinson, Area Director, HSBC Bank plc
Juliette created and delivered a fantastic, interactive seminar... in just 3 hours, she made 'leadership' something we all wanted to deliver and not just something we were inspired by.
Claire Doolin, HR Manager, Paperchase
...loved it! Nine straight '10s' on content and delivery... voted her the best retreat speaker in the past 5 years.
Peter Chambers, Vistage Group Chairman
Fantastic, maximum scores from everybody. Clean sweep of 10's. Juliette was honest, real, vulnerable and motivating. Unlike other speakers, she is very authentic, passionate and genuine. Great delivery.
Adrian Sharp, Vistage Group Chairman
The stuff Juliette teaches is really powerful...and enjoyable. After first meeting Juliette at a Vistage meeting, I shared this wisdom and incorporated it into many training sessions I’ve lead with my teams. More recently, I organised a two day retreat for my Entrepreneurs Organisation forum group of business owners and asked Juliette to facilitate. Not an easy task as you can imagine but we’re still talking about it now over a year on. All agreed it was transformative, inspiring and also practical to put to use personally and in our businesses.

"Inspiring. Brilliant content and could even make it a two day course. Thank you, Juliette!"
