What people say about Julia

Our business thrives and grows off the back of client relationships, we will grow 15% this year. Over the last decade we have grown by 300% and I have no doubt this is due to the training we have done with Julia in developing our networks and capabilities. This blended program over several months was by far our best investment in our people and the results are showing that it has been very worthwhile.

– Stephen Maher - Principal Business Development Manager and Structural Engineer, Northrop

Members took great learning from your session with high marks and many 10`s! As you know the group were unable to find any areas of improvement for you. I believe they enjoy the practical nature of the message which has clear benefit to all. We all enjoyed your personal style and knowledge and generally had a great day.

– Keith Brooks - Chairman TEC 29, KEY

Julia Palmer is very good at what she does, ability to teach a difficult skill to any body, and at every level. It says a lot when people say they remember what was taught days after they’ve walked away from the event, which says a lot about the person WHOM had conducted the workshop and importantly HOW it was taught. She is very professional, extremely punctual and prompt throughout the process.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Julia Palmer engage with my audiences a number of times over the last couple of years, presenting at high profile events which Sales Effectiveness Australasia has hosted. What can I say – except that she delivers, and the audience love what she delivers. And I’ve got the feed-back sheets to prove it! Knowing how to network professionally is an essential tool for salespeople and sales managers in the 21st century – and there’s no-one better to learn from than Julia Palmer.

– Principal, Sales Effectiveness Australasia 

Julia was invited to speak at TNT Express Australia LINC (Lead, Inspire, Network & Connect) Inaugural Event on International Women’s Day 2014 to over 50 Australian Female employees……What a brilliant outcome, the participants learnt some theory on why Networking is so important to a successful career. Julia demonstrated how to introduce yourself to someone you don’t know and how to keep the conversation going and even further value add was how to exit a discussion if need be in a respectful way. Participants we given an opportunity to practice the new skills over morning tea and all left the event more skilled and confident in building their networks.
