WHY JULIE LINES ACADEMY
Strengthen your confidence, presence, and emotional intelligence.
Leadership isn’t defined by a title, it’s defined by how you show up in the moments that matter.
The Academy exists to strengthen the one capability every leader needs: the ability to create clarity, build trust, and develop positive team culture through the conversations that count. My courses help leaders listen with depth, ask more purposeful questions, and navigate pivotal moments with confidence and care – creating environments where people feel seen, supported, and able to thrive.
HOW IT WORKS
Practical skills for the everyday challenges of leadership.
Each module builds on the last, giving you a sense of steady progress while allowing you to learn when and how it suits you. The combination of bite-sized teaching, practical reinforcement, and flexible pacing creates an experience that feels structured yet spacious – ideal for anyone who wants meaningful development without overwhelm.
Move through each module in a clear, engaging rhythm: watch a short, focused video to grasp the core ideas, explore the supporting written content to deepen your understanding, and then complete a brief quiz or reflective activity to consolidate your learning.

Julie brings together deep academic grounding, thousands of hours of real coaching practice, and decades of lived experience guiding people through complex organisational landscapes. Her career in higher-education management honed her ability to lead with clarity, empathy, and strategic insight.
What sets her apart is the combination of rigour, warmth, and wisdom – an ability to see people clearly, challenge them thoughtfully, and support them to become the kind of leaders others want to follow.
Workshops & Programs
Workshops that generate a lasting impact on both the individuals involved and the organisations they lead. These are delivered face-to-face, or can be delivered virtually via Zoom.
Coaching Conversations for Leaders (full-day)
Are you in a role where you manage or lead others? Many people get into leadership roles by solving problems, so it can be difficult to let go of that mindset. In the Coaching Conversations for Leaders Workshop we bring coaching skills and a coaching mindset into the way you relate to and lead other people. Leaders who attend this program often describe it as practical, engaging and immediately applicable.
Challenging Conversations for Leaders (full-day)
Do you want to take the angst out of preparing for uncomfortable conversations? We worry that failed conversations will impact negatively on everyone involved, or even make things worse. However, when handled well a challenging conversation allows you to broach a difficult topic before it becomes a bigger issue, provides an opportunity to increase trust, and can improve the relationship.
Aspiring Leaders Program (4 x 2-hr sessions)
Most leadership development programs are about “what you do” as a leader – they provide a foundational tool kit. Learning Your Leadership Style is different – it’s about “who you are” as a leader. We explore your unique strengths and what drives you as a leader. We consider the leadership brand you want to be known for, looking at how you lead when you are at your best and the strategies to help manage your leadership shadow.
