Hi, I'm Julia! I'm an RN, copywriter, and brand voice specialist. I'm from the West Coast of Canada, and now live in Maine with my partner and two pups! Having a background as an RN, it was a big shift for me to start my own business, and one of the hardest parts was figuring out how to talk about myself and what I do, in a way that felt true to me. I found that so much of the advice that's out there about building a personal brand is either confusing, contradictory, cringe-worthy, or all three.  And it wasn't until I studied under Justin Blackman (arguably the world's leading brand voice expert), that I realized the part that's missing from so many marketing strategies isn't a template or tool, it's your VOICE.  As a certified brand voice strategist, I now work specifically with women-owned businesses to define, document, and delegate your brand voice in a way that's true to you, and true to your business!  I love working with women to finally put into words what you want to say.  To be able to articulate exactly what you want to sound like, and what you stand for. Because it turns out, knowing (and using!) your voice is not just good for business, it's good for YOU!   Follow Julia on Instagram: @julia.michelle.agency Check out her website: www.juliamichelleagency.com   I’m excited to partner with Consequential Flowers to build BloomRadius by Lead Fearlessly — a personalized leadership game that takes ALL our Season 4 content and transforms it into bite-sized "Seeds."
