Meet the Change Maker: Julie Creffield talks overcoming adversity and negotiating change

Julie Creffield is a change maker, growth strategist, founder and keynote speaker with more than 25 years’ experience across a huge range of industries. Her no-nonsense approach to building, developing and scaling impactful ventures has seen her support more than 3000 clients in her recent work as an online business coach.

 

Growing up on a council estate as one of six children raised by a single parent didn’t stop Julie from becoming the first in her family to go to university, achieve a first-class degree and start a career as a drama practitioner, before going on to work as a trainer, facilitator and management consultant for public and voluntary sector organisations. 

 

After a string of redundancies and becoming a single mum, in 2013 Julie turned her blog into a microbusiness, which has since been featured in media around the world. Now an award-winning international keynote speaker and author of 12 books, Julie dedicates most of her time to helping other businesses pivot and profit, finding new purpose through their work. Her mission? To help 1 million ordinary people do extraordinary things with The Year to Change system.

 

In this week’s DRIVE episode, Julie speaks to us about navigating change and how her own experiences of adversity and hardship have helped her activate others to fulfil their full potential.
