Marie-Jeanne Juilland
Marie-Jeanne ensures C-suite and aspiring founders and senior executives show up at their most powerful, most authentic and most impactful – especially as they transition into larger roles. Leaders seek her specifically to uplevel their executive presence, including successful communication, high-stake presentations and influence. Her approach is leading-edge yet strategic and pragmatic, blending the latest in neuroscience with behavioral change.
Marie-Jeanne leverages her own executive and advising roles at both global Fortune-500 companies and at rapidly scaling startups in Silicon Valley, including an early IPO run for TriNet, now a billion-dollar company. She’s known for her dynamic facilitating at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and has been published in textbooks as well as in the New York Times, when she was a former national business journalist.
Marie-Jeanne understands first-hand what it means to be “lonely at the top.” And in a time when leaders face unrelenting change and digital interruption, she offers a place to talk about the things that can’t be talked about anywhere else – a place to find the space to breathe, lifting them out of the day-to-day into the bigger meaning of their business – and themselves.
