Getting Leaders Ready for Anything - Not Everything
Because Scaleable Leadership Shouldn't Rely on Burnout
Leadership Development
Let’s be real—most leaders aren’t set up to succeed.
They’re promoted because they were good at their last job.
Then the pressure hits, fast. They're leading people, making decisions, and expected to stay steady through it all.
And often? No system. No support. Just stress.
Whether you're a leader carrying too much or someone in People & Culture watching your best people wear down, you're not imagining it. The old ways of developing leaders don’t cut it anymore.
That’s where interACTive Leadership© comes in.
This program gives leaders what they’re missing through building Accountability, Care, and Trust into:
✔ A practical system
✔ Clear leadership language
✔ Tools they can use in real conversations
✔ A way to balance accountability and care—without burning out
✔ The flexibility to lead through anything—without the burden of being everything
It’s structured, but not stiff. Strategic, but real-world. Built for leaders who want to show up with confidence, not just cope through chaos.

Meet your Coach
Julie Gillespie
I coach leaders to move from pressure to precision, so they can lead with confidence, clarity, and calm.
I’ve spent over 25 years working at the messy intersection of leadership, performance, and people. I know what it’s like to lead under pressure, because I’ve lived it. From business operations to burnout recovery, I’ve seen what happens when leadership systems are missing… and what becomes possible when they’re in place.
That’s why I created the interACTive Leadership© Program, a systems-based, coaching-led approach to leadership that helps high-pressure leaders balance accountability with care, strengthen trust, and make better decisions, faster.
With an Executive MBA, hands-on experience in executive operations, and formal training across leadership profiling, mental health, and strategic coaching, I bring a combination of depth and practicality to every session. I’m not here to give you a pep talk—I’m here to help you lead with purpose and precision, no matter how complex the moment.
What you can expect working with me:
✔ Direct, grounded conversation (no jargon)
✔ A coaching partnership built on strategy, trust, and stretch
✔ Practical tools you can apply between sessions—not shelf
Whether you're a senior leader navigating complexity or an HR partner trying to get your people the support they need—I bring a system, not just a session.
Ready to coach leadership that actually works? Let’s go.
Choose the Right Fit for the Right Moment
Not every leader needs the same thing.
Not every leader has the time, headspace, or capacity to take on a full development journey, and that’s okay. We meet you where you are, equip you with what you need, and expand from there.
Whether you're building your own confidence, preparing for a bigger role, or aligning a full leadership team, this program has a format to fit.
→ Individual: The Reset
→ Individual: Activate
→ Leadership Team: All Aboard
We’re not here to make leadership heavier.
We’re here to make it clearer, lighter, and scalable, so your people can lead the future, not just survive the present.
