Meet the Trainer
Julie Francis: Elite Speaking Coach.
Are you a leader or business owner seeking to communicate with confidence, authenticity, and ease? Imagine speaking powerfully, as you, without the weight of self-doubt or fear of judgment—effortlessly attracting ideal opportunities, clients, and success in your field.

With over two decades of experience as a global performer and entertainer, I’ve walked countless stages, captivating audiences of up to 2,000 people. My journey wasn’t without challenges, including a three-year break from the spotlight—a humbling period that taught me firsthand the fear and vulnerability of stepping back into the public eye. These experiences have shaped my deep empathy for anyone struggling with self-confidence or public speaking.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with entrepreneurs, business owners, and executives, helping them master the art of clear communication and purposeful connection. My unique background bridges the worlds of entertainment and business, making me uniquely positioned to guide you to the next level of performance.

Why Work with Me?

• Proven Expertise: As a certified life and business coach and public speaking specialist, I combine techniques honed from years of stage experience with practical coaching strategies.
• Personalised Approach: I help you turn your values, vulnerabilities, fears, and limitations into superpowers that unlock your full potential.
• Tangible Results: Whether you’re looking to inspire teams, win over clients, or simply feel more at ease in high-pressure situations, I’ll equip you with the tools to excel.

What Drives Me
I’m passionate about creating deeper connections and fostering meaningful communication—not just because it’s my job, but because I believe it transforms lives. When we truly listen and speak from the heart, we understand each other better, resolve conflicts more easily, and experience more joy in our relationships.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve shared these techniques with professionals across the corporate and entertainment industries, helping them achieve recognition, respect, and greater success. Now, I’m here to do the same for you.
