Six “choose your own topic” breakouts, each with a different presenter, all with their own session producer to provide support and record the breakouts.

This was absolutely awesome!
This was beautiful! I miss seeing everyone in person, but I couldn't think of a better way to keep this wonderful seminar going.
This has been such a blessing. My heart is full.
“Julie is amazing: highly skilled, pays attention to the big picture and the details, and able to anticipate issues before I do. When I work with Julie, I know any issue that arises will be addressed. As well, she is personable, thoughtful and caring. Grace under pressure and filled with new ways of doing things, Julie is someone I always call first to see if she’s available to work with us. ”

THANKS for the super program today ... and to Senator Hirono and to Senator Jama, Kudos to you ALL for the very informative, timely and inspiring event today. I look forward to sharing the video of this event with friends and family members...
What a wonderful event! My gratitude to all involved!
Thanks to today’s organizers and featured guests. I learned much and am greatly encouraged.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Julie on many occasions in numerous contexts. The expertise and grace she brings to production is quite remarkable. My colleagues and I are able to focus on the client knowing that all the “behind the scenes” work will go smoothly. I highly recommend her.”
Let’s talk
It doesn’t cost anything to have a conversation with me about your project. And I will never employ high-pressure sales tactics in my communications with you. I want you to have the best possible partner so that you end up with the best event or training you’re capable of producing. I hope that will be by partnering with me, but even if we don’t end up working together, wouldn’t it be fun to tell me about your project? I know I want to hear all about it.
Get in touch today!
“I’ve referred Julie to other colleagues, and they have told me how delighted they were to work with her. It is without question that I recommend Julie. I’m just afraid she’ll be too busy to work with me!
