Good to know
What to expect
Julie speaks from her own life rather than from a script, and the talk moves as a story with a shape to it. Inclusion, accessibility and what changes when a room decides to listen properly are the threads running through it. Audiences get the honest version, including the parts that were hard, and they leave with a clearer sense of what to do differently. It suits a conference, an after dinner slot or a staff day where you want the tone lifted and the thinking shifted at the same time.
Performance options
Julie Fisher works in a few different formats. The core of it is a 45 minute keynote on diversity and inclusion drawn from her own experience. There is also a fuller option that adds supporting resources alongside the talk, useful where an organisation wants something to carry on with after the day itself. She takes after dinner speaking and MC work as well. Let her know the audience and the setting and she will suggest which of them fits.
Insurance and paperwork
Public liability insured, Working with Children Check.
