Meet Julie Cook

Hey, I’m Julie!

✨ Your Leadership and Teams Expert! ✨

I’ve always danced to the beat of my own drum, breaking the so called “rules” to create a path that fit me. Some may call this the entrepreneurial spirit. I have never been one to understand why people do things just because everyone else does them too. Why these rules and why everyone walked in line single file when there was a whole world of opportunity everywhere around me to be explored!

Growing up I struggled to fit in. My ideas were too big, my voice was too loud. Luckily from a young age I had music to help me express everything that I either wasn’t able to say or wasn’t allowed to say in a world filled with rules and little flexibility. When I joined the corporate world I found more of the same, be small, fit in, follow the rules, only I looked around and felt these rules just weren’t working, people weren’t happy, teams weren’t flourishing, leaders were struggling and I wanted to know why!

I knew there had to be a better way to lead, to grow teams and a good business without using fear and being trapped by crazy outdated ways of working.

I decided I was going to learn new ways, read the books, find the mentors, develop myself so I could bring in new ideas and find better ways to have a great team and business that was fun and enjoyable for everyone, so every single person felt valued and accepted for their unique part they played.

Immersing myself in leading and my team started great but over time it started to consume me, I was never OFF, every waking moment was taken up running the business, the team and crossing all the t’s and dotting all the i’s.

I worked longer and longer hours until it finally took its toll, when in the wee hours of the morning long before any shop would be open I was rushing to work and had an accident, one which later I was told I should not have survived, all because I felt no one could do it like me...

Learning to hire the right people and trust my team didn't come naturally at first, this type A personality hated it all but when your life flashes before your eyes and you are told “you should be dead” you know something has to change! I spent the next few years creating and honing my DELEGATION SKILLS and processes until I knew I had built a team that didn’t need me anymore for the day to day operations.

Once I had the plan now I was determined to share it! I learned how to train, coach and help other leaders in the same position I had been in, to NOT need a near death experience to find a new way. I ran hundreds of sessions for thousands of leaders from all over the country sharing what I knew but the message was still filtered by corporate rules, so the time to fly free had come.

I stepped out on my own, learned to apply my own principles in my own business while helping others.

Music, self-expression also became an important part of my business journey because it helped me get out of my head, into my heart and bring more play, fun and lightness to the work which can often feel very heavy, hard and serious!

Music and creativity along with years of coaching leaders and teams of multi million dollar businesses has also given me a unique perspective that combines processes and strategy with creativity and FUN! Where the rules for business are created by YOU, where creativity and fun run through every element of Business and life.

Now I help leaders like YOU create thriving, profitable teams and businesses, so you can spend more time working on strategy or not working at all!

Creating ways of working that allow for simplicity and ease, stripping away the overwhelm and confusion and replacing it with a clear plan and simple actions that focus on the


GOLD already in the Business. Creating a plan that fits YOUR BUSINESS not trying to fit your business to the plan!

After decades I know the foundations to a great Business, team and LIFE and I am so excited to share them all with you! Discover more about our LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS designed specifically for you and your team.
