ABOUT THE HOST

Julie Hogbin

I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

 

In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊

 

I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.

 

I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.

 

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.

 

I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker

 

I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
