People are 20 times more likely to remember facts if they are woven around a compelling story. Great leaders know this. They also know you have to tell those stories with true passion that comes from the heart. Great leaders know that if you want to get people to give you money, vote for you, green light your projects, inspire employees, or buy your products, you have to have a good story behind it.

A visionary is someone who comes up with great ideas. A missionary is someone who carries out those great ideas. Where visionaries are the thinkers, missionaries are the doers. A visionary with lots of great ideas who never does anything about them won’t get very far. And a missionary with no great ideas also won’t get very far. But if you combine great ideas with action you’ll be a force to be reckoned with. This keynote is for non-profits and religious organizations that want to inspire their volunteers and congregations to take action based on a common passion and purpose. Here’s what your attendees will learn: * How to generate passion in your team * How to write a mission statement and really live it * How to get others to believe in your vision As an inventor and international business owner, Julie has been both a visionary and a missionary, leading a team of distributors around the world in a common goal. She will inspire your audience to take action with their own teams.
