What if the rapids weren’t something to brace against, but something you were ready to ride, on purpose, with a clear direction, and a team you trust?
Take the Well-Led Workplaces Quiz to see where your workplace stands and get practical insights to strengthen leadership, team performance, and workplace well-being.

Leadership isn’t a soft skill. It’s a system.
Because scalable leadership shouldn’t rely on burnout.
Let’s build a workplace where people lead well and stay well.
Why do you need a Well-Led Workplace?
Because leadership done poorly hurts people and performance.
When leaders aren’t clear, when systems are missing, when trust breaks down, people disengage, results slip, and the culture carries the cost. And so do business results.
What's breaking down in for leaders right now?
-
Leaders are burning out
-
Trust is wearing thin
-
There’s no system to scale
-
Everyone’s reacting instead of leading
What we do + Why it works
We work with organisations to build well-led workplaces.
Well-Led Workplaces equips leaders with the tools, language, and systems to lead with clarity, trust, and accountability.
No jargon. No culture fluff. Just leadership that holds under pressure and performs in the real world.
What We Offer
Our Approach centres you in the solution, bringing research-backed frameworks, lived leadership experience, and practical tools together to strengthen leaders, build their teams, and be ready for anything.
Everything we offer is designed to build a well-led workplace where people are confident, systems are clear, and leadership drives real outcomes that last.
Proactive Mental Health at Work Programs
Don’t wait for a crisis! Mental health at work starts with leadership and the systems around it.
Well-being is a shared responsibility, not an individual burden.
When people feel seen, supported, and safe, they show up and step up.
This isn’t a tick-box, it’s part of a leadership system that builds trust, reduces risk, and drives sustainable performance.
When leadership is intentional, mental health becomes a protective factor not a problem to fix.
Are you looking up and wondering -do you even want to lead?
Let’s get real—do you even want to lead? And if you do, are you ready for what comes with it? This quiz cuts through the noise to help you figure out where you stand, what’s holding you back, and if leadership is the path for you.
No fluff. Just clarity. Ready to find out? Let’s go.

Working with Julie Gillespie, now trading as Well-Led Workplaces, has been a transformative experience from the very first contact through to the completion of her services.

Who We Support
Letters of Hope was founded in 2018, and aims to spread kindness, raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health through sending handwritten letters to those who are going through a tough time.
Julie Gillespie joined the board in 2024 to support the efforts of the founder, Abbie Williams, another Mental Health First Aid Instructor and a driven young woman that was making a difference - letting people know they are not on their own. This resonates with Julie's lived experience of mental ill health as she knows it just takes one person to reach out in kindness to make a difference.
