Workplace Wellbeing, Mental Health, and Resilience Keynotes That Help People Work Well, Lead Well and Live Well

Hi, I’m Julia Grace

I’m an award-winning international keynote speaker and mental health communicator creating audience experiences that are both science-based and deeply human. I deliver workplace wellbeing, mental health, resilience, and leadership keynotes and interactive workshops for corporate organisations, conferences, and educational audiences across New Zealand and internationally.

My work brings together neuroscience, lived experience with depression and anxiety, and practical wellbeing tools that I use in my own journey. Audiences often tell me they feel genuinely engaged and understood in my sessions, leaving with memorable strategies they can apply straight away in both their personal and professional lives.

I blend evidence-informed insights with storytelling, humour, and music to create keynote presentations that connect emotionally as well as intellectually, moving people beyond inspiration into tangible action.

Having taken the stage across five continents and spoken to more than 1,000 audiences, it is always a privilege to share a message of practical hope.

Whether I am working with corporate teams, leadership groups, educators, or young people, my focus remains the same: delivering credible, heart-led sessions that support people to Live, Lead, and Work Well by Being Kind to Their Minds.
