The monthly read for leaders who take engagement and development seriously.

Fresh thinking, practical tools, and the occasional challenging question — delivered monthly to leaders who understand that talent matters.


Every month, Julie Winkle Giulioni — author, speaker, and one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers — delivers fresh thinking on what it takes to help people grow, stay engaged, and bring their best to work.

Expect ideas that challenge your assumptions and frameworks you can put to work immediately. Each issue draws on decades of research, real-world experience, and the questions Julie is currently exploring — including the provocative new territory she’s mapping in her forthcoming book on why engagement efforts so often fall short, and what leaders can do instead.

Development and engagement aren’t programs. They’re relationships. And every issue of this newsletter helps you build relationships that deliver results.
