Julia Reynolds is an extraordinary visionary with a lot of experience and a vast knowledge on how to make women feel self-confident in their looks through well-made, well-fitted, timeless clothing. She was a retailer for 35 years before becoming the founder of Rey House, a women’s clothing brand that creates timeless pieces based on diverse thoughts of real women on what makes them look and feel good. Julia is also the CEO of several other businesses, where she pursues her passion of making mature women seen and heard through their clothing while co-creating with people who share her vision.

In today’s episode, we discuss the importance of inclusivity in a workspace. Julia talks about the challenges of having a purpose-led and disruptive business, and how she counters those challenges using facts to prove her concept. We also discuss how visionaries can pivot their business led by purpose.

• What inspired Julia’s desire to make a difference in the world of clothing

The work you do is just like putting on clothes - they don’t make you happy or comfortable when they don’t fit. As Julia shows us, when you’re surrounded with people you actually want to work with, you get a chance to create a purpose-led business that’s heading towards a remarkable success.

Today I want to talk about my experience and my journey in owning and claiming my voice in the world. Claiming our voices as visionaries has been a theme of the month on this show, with my previous guests Pete Cohen and Patricia Lohan also sharing their perspectives on owning and claiming their voices.

What I’ve discovered is that the act of claiming your voice is a very conscious one, so here is the story of how I’ve done that for myself and how I’m continuing to do that, hoping that it will inspire you too to claim that next piece of your big vision for the world. 

What You’ll Learn: 

• Why we, as visionaries, often have the experience of not fitting in as we are growing up 
• How I started my journey of healing, transformation, and claiming my voice
• How to recognise your superpowers as a visionary
• Why being a founder or an entrepreneur is the biggest personal development journey any of us can take
• How claiming your voice can help others to claim theirs

Owning your vision and your voice is the crucial element of being a visionary in the world.  Knowing that only you can do you, and only you have your unique combination of skills, passions and abilities. That is why claiming our voices as visionaries is the most courageous thing any of us can do.
