Julie Cross

Julie Cross is an award-winning storyteller, inspiring changemaker, and one of Australia’s most sought-after voices in personal leadership, motivation and resilience. Recently named Keynote Speaker of the Year by Professional Speakers Australia, Julie brings real-life wisdom, emotional depth, and powerful strategies that shift energy, mindset, and performance, both personally and professionally.

Julie comes from regional Queensland and perhaps that has contributed to her down to earth trademark humour, her heart, and raw authenticity. Julie will take you on a journey of self-reflection, laughter, and transformation. You’ll walk away with practical tools to lead yourself and others with renewed purpose, emotional clarity, and confidence. Julie will show you how to find the joy in everything we do, celebrate our wins and not let the downtimes get the better of us.

Main Stage Presentation: The power of you and your energy
Through her unique style and the power of storytelling Julie invites you to step forward with intention: to let your light shine, embrace strong self-leadership, and inspire those around you to do the same. It’s about rediscovering joy, choosing courage over fear. It is about finding the inspiration in the isolation. Together, we will reset, reframe, and reconnect with our resilience, understanding that while challenges are inevitable, the energy we bring determines how we rise and how we lead others through those moments.

This experience is designed to be uplifting, engaging, and deeply human. There will be laughter, reflection, and powerful insights. Guests will be taken on a dynamic journey that stirs emotion, sparks thinking, and encourages meaningful action.
