Meet Julie

It all started when I asked a question that hit harder than I expected: “Who taught you how to manage people?”

The more I thought about it, the more it sank in. Developing people — helping them grow, build confidence, and step into their potential — has always been the most fulfilling part of leadership. No question about it.

But here’s the shocking truth: only 18% of managers and leaders have ever received formal, structured training. Eighteen percent. And at the same time, trust and loyalty between managers and employees are at an all-time low.

That realization changed everything for me. It sparked a mission — to help more people become the kind of leaders others want to follow. The kind who inspire, empower, and create workplaces where people don’t just show up… they SHINE.

Julie Seidl

I’m a Leadership Coach and Keynote Speaker known for my vibrant energy, quick wit, and unwavering belief in the potential of every leader I meet. I have a knack for blending humor with heartfelt connection, and I transform leadership development into an uplifting, empowering experience.

After 15 years in corporate marketing and branding, I launched Corporate Confidence Coach to bridge the gap between managing and truly leading. I’m passionate about guiding executives, entrepreneurs, and rising leaders to unlock their confidence, embrace authenticity, and create thriving, people-first cultures.

I pair strategy with heart and soul, helping leaders navigate complex challenges while keeping their spark alive. My coaching is refreshingly direct, with honest, no-nonsense feedback that drives real growth. Whether I’m speaking to a large group or coaching one-on-one, my warm style, sharp insight, and infectious enthusiasm inspire others to take bold, confident action immediately.

When I’m not coaching or speaking, you’ll find me exploring new places, hanging out with my husband and three dogs, laughing with friends over mac and cheese, or brainstorming my next workshop—often with a colorful notebook and glitter pens in hand. I’m proof that leadership growth doesn’t have to be stiff or serious—it can be fun, uplifting, and transformative.
