Book Julie

Beyond Faster

Everyone is using AI to go faster. But speed alone won’t save you — it will commoditize you. Julie Holmes helps leaders and teams move beyond efficiency to build real, lasting competitive advantage with AI.

AI for Distinction, Not Just Efficiency

In this high-energy, insight-packed keynote, Julie Holmes challenges your audience to rethink what AI is actually for. Drawing on 20+ years at the intersection of tech, innovation, and human performance, Julie delivers a clear, compelling framework for using AI to create value that competitors can’t copy.

Your audience will leave knowing how to move from AI adoption to AI advantage — with strategies they can apply immediately.

What Attendees Will Walk Away With:
  • A clear understanding of why speed alone is a losing AI strategy
  • Practical frameworks for using AI to differentiate — not just automate
  • Actionable tools to help their teams think, create, and compete differently
  • The confidence to lead AI-driven change without the jargon and overwhelm

This Keynote Is Perfect For…

You're navigating AI investment decisions and need a clear strategy for what actually creates competitive advantage — not just cost savings.

You need to sell smarter, build deeper client relationships, and stand out in a market where everyone is using the same tools.

Having seen her speak online, I brought Julie in to speak to our first post-pandemic leadership conference. She was BRILLIANT! The session was every bit as well organized, professional and full of positive energy as I’d hoped. Best of all, my leadership team went away with practical, transferable new techniques that are already helping improve our clients’ experience working with us!

We were tasked to find a high-energy, leading female speaker. I booked Julie and watched her on the big stage at the 100,000-person Musikmesse event in Frankfurt and to 1,200 entrepreneurs (plus the Greek Prime Minister) at the EU Investment Fund Conference in Athens. Julie was excellent and received incredible feedback. We’ll be sending Julie on the plane to a lot more conferences!

Julie presented to my organization today and all I have to say is “Wow!” This was my second time seeing her on separate topics and she was charismatic, endearing, brilliant and insightful. I highly recommend Julie as a speaker to any organization. She made good on her promise of what we would gain from the event. I came away with practical, application “to do’s” that I’m implementing.

She held our attention for a half-day session and we didn't want it to end. She's a fantastic speaker, a fun storyteller, and an incredibly smart cookie! I heard participants describe her as 'amazing,' 'clever,' and 'fantastic.' I highly recommend Julie for any organization or audience looking for an injection of motivation, innovation, and laughs. She'll change the way you think.
