Julie Brown Biography

Julie Brown is an award-winning keynote speaker, author of "This Sh!t Works," and creator of The BOLD Factor: How to Be Unforgettable in a Forgettable World. She empowers high-performing professionals to build authentic relationships that drive confidence, visibility, and measurable results.

Brown’s expertise is rooted in real-world experience. She spent 25 years in the construction industry—an environment where women represent less than 10% of the workforce—rising from assistant to director of business development. In her final year, her network generated more than $562 million in qualified project opportunities. Not through luck. Not through titles. But through strategic, human-centered relationship building.

That experience became the foundation for her speaking career. Over the past nine years, Brown has delivered high-energy keynotes and workshops on more than 200 stages across corporate, university, and association settings in the U.S. and internationally. With over 3,500 raving testimonials, her work has impacted tens of thousands of professionals worldwide.

Brown has partnered with organizations including Stifel, GE, Dell Technologies, AAA, UKG, RSM, Perdue, and Toyota. She is a board member of the National Speakers Association New England chapter and a two-time CREW Boston Entrepreneur of the Year.

Passionate about mentorship and philanthropy, Brown actively supports women in business and young professionals through university programs nationwide. When she’s not on stage—often in her signature glitter shoes—you’ll find her traveling internationally, enjoying great wine, or spoiling her two high-energy dogs.

Her message is clear: BOLD isn’t a personality trait. It’s a decision.

Julie Brown Speaking Topics

  • TSW - NETWORKING YOUR WAY TO GREATER INFLUENCE AND SUCCESS

    The Keynote That’s Changed the Way Thousands Build Relationships

    Let’s be real.

    Most people think networking is awkward. Exhausting. A little transactional.

    Something you “have” to do if you want to get ahead.

    But what if that belief is the problem?

    In this high-energy, no-fluff keynote, Julie Brown flips the script on networking and shows audiences what it actually is: the most powerful career accelerator hiding in plain sight.

    Julie breaks down:

    • Why networking feels uncomfortable (and how to fix it)
    • The myths that keep high-performers playing small
    • How relationships—not resumes—drive opportunity
    • A practical, step-by-step approach to building authentic, career-changing connections

    With humor, straight talk, and zero corporate-speak, Julie delivers tools people can use immediately

    • and still use years later. No awkward scripts. No “work the room” gimmicks. Just real research-backed strategies proven to build influence, confidence, and momentum.

    Whether someone is early in their career or leading a team, this keynote changes how they think about relationship-building — and more importantly, how they do it.

    Because when you understand networking the right way, it stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like leverage.

    KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES/TAKEAWAYS:

    • How to Assess the Strength & Size of Your Network
    • Mars v. Venus: How Women Network Differently Than Men (optional)
    • Introvert vs Extrovert Networking
    • Networking Paradigms and How to Structure Your Network for Maximum Success
    • The 5 Best Networking Tools (and their hidden powers)
    • How to Effectively Follow Up: Steps to Fostering Relationships
    • How and When to Ask for Business

  • THE BOLD FACTOR (Available in early 2027)

    How to Be Unforgettable in a Forgettable World

    The research is clear: people who feel connected at work perform better, stay longer, and contribute more. Yet most professionals are still operating inside systems that reward polish over presence and productivity over people. The result? Leaders and teams who hesitate to show up as humans and miss out on the connection that drives profitability.

    BOLD changes that.

    Through four principles — Be Human, Open the Door, List Yourself & Live, and Do the Work — Julie Brown teaches individuals and teams how to build trust, expand influence, and move opportunities forward without becoming louder, smaller, or someone else entirely.

    This isn’t about “working the room.” It’s about strengthening the room.

    The impact shows up in:

    • Stronger collaboration
    • Higher engagement
    • Increased internal mobility
    • Leaders who build loyalty, not just results

    When people stop editing themselves to fit a narrow definition of professional and start showing up human — strategically — they don’t just grow their careers.

    They grow the business.
