You overcame some truly remarkable mental and environmental challenges. I know everyone at our annual marketing conference greatly appreciated your presentation and went away equally as inspired as I did. I was so moved it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
-
We all fell in love with your ordinary/extraordinary spirit, your down-to-earth nature and your calm but humorous delivery.

Julie is an engaging speaker and story-teller…and what a story! I highly recommend Julie Angus for any event, and I would say the 45 minute line up for autographs and selfies from our group of teenagers is a pretty clear indicator that they would too!

Colin and Julie were simply sensational. They were excellent to deal with prior to the conference, a real pleasure to meet and chat with, and of course they delivered a memorable presentation that our franchisees are still buzzing about. I would highly recommend them.
