In this personal and powerful solo episode of Leading You, Julie shares a leadership moment that was anything but scripted. While delivering a keynote in Malaysia, an unexpected request forced her to make a tough call—and it had nothing to do with performance, and everything to do with values.

This episode isn’t about what you stand for. It’s about what you refuse to stand for—and why those boundaries say even more about your leadership than your best highlight reel ever could.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation that looked good from the outside but felt wrong on the inside, this is your reminder that leadership isn’t about applause. It’s about alignment.

Because the moments you say no—especially when it costs you—are the ones that define who you really are.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The behind-the-scenes story of Julie’s Malaysia keynote
  • What happened when a live snake was brought on stage
  • The tension between visibility, values, and performance
  • Why drawing a boundary may cost you—but is always worth it
  • How to reconnect with your own leadership non-negotiables
