One Degree of Change

Insight is the spark. This is the activation.


Book Julia
Insight without action fades fast.

Most people leave a great keynote genuinely motivated. Then Monday happens. One Degree of Change exists for exactly that moment, the gap between knowing and doing.

Drawing on the science of habit formation, behaviour change, and the power of small consistent shifts, this session gives audiences a clear, practical, and immediately usable plan. Not another goal-setting exercise. A real system for real life.

It works as a follow-on to any Julia Grace keynote, as a standalone session for groups who are ready to go deeper, or as the perfect next booking for organisations that have already had Julia and want to know what comes next.

Julia Grace One Degree of Change
Three ways to bring One Degree of Change to your group
01
The follow-on module

Added to any core keynote for a longer session or half-day programme. Julia delivers Be Kind to Your Mind, Working Well, or Be Kind to Your Mind for Educators, then takes the room straight into One Degree of Change. Seamless, powerful, and complete.

02
The standalone keynote

A full session in its own right. Works beautifully for organisations that want a practical, action-focused wellbeing session without the full mental health keynote foundation. Immediately applicable, energising, and results-focused.

03
The return booking

Had Julia before? This is what comes next. One Degree of Change is the natural second session for groups who are ready to move from awareness into action. If your team already has the language, this session gives them the system.

Your people will leave with
A clear understanding of why small changes outperform big overhauls
A personal one-degree shift they can start immediately
Practical habit-building tools grounded in behaviour science
Strategies that fit into a busy life without adding pressure
A system for turning good intentions into consistent action
Renewed motivation grounded in realistic, achievable progress

Flexible delivery. 30-45 mins as an add-on module, 60-90 mins as a standalone session or return keynote. In-person, hybrid, or virtual. Suits staff PD days, conferences, leadership offsites, and corporate programmes.

This is what comes next.

If your team has already experienced Be Kind to Your Mind or Working Well, they have the awareness, the language, and the tools. What they need now is the system to make it stick.

One Degree of Change is designed specifically as the activation session, the natural next step for groups who are ready to move from insight into lasting change.

Many organisations book Julia annually. This is the session that makes the second booking feel as essential as the first.

One Degree of Change pairs perfectly with
  • Be Kind to Your Mind (conferences)
  • Working Well (corporate and workplace)
  • Be Kind to Your Mind for Educators
  • Any organisation ready to go from awareness to action

The Research Behind This Programme

Why small shifts beat big ones. The research is pretty clear on this.

One Degree of Change is built on behaviour change science showing that small, consistent actions outperform dramatic gestures for long-term wellbeing. Self-efficacy research also tells us that believing a small step is worth taking is half the battle.
