Hi, I’m Julia Rock!
Equipping Leaders
to Prevent Burnout and Power
Sustainable Success
Through her high-impact keynotes, Julia Rock challenges leaders to uncover the hidden dynamics driving disengagement and empowers them with bold, practical strategies to stop burnout before it spreads so their teams can thrive.
The workplace wasn’t built for what leaders are facing now.
Leadership that listens. Cultures that retain. Results that last.
Julia Rock believes burnout is preventable and leaders hold the key.
Through compelling keynotes and practical strategies, she helps leaders reconnect with their teams, increase awareness, and take proactive steps to prevent burnout before it starts.
Her approach is rooted in experience. As a former corporate leader and executive coach to top talent across industries like tech, energy, finance, and food and beverage, Julia brings both insight and empathy to the stage. She’s lived the high-stress environments. She’s navigated the silence and the stigma. And she knows that sustainable performance starts with a culture of trust, support, and clear leadership.
Julia’s talks don’t just inspire—they shift the mindset. She moves leaders from reactive to responsive, from checklists to connection. Her frameworks focus on practical actions that create lasting change without burning out the leader in the process.

In today’s one thing episode, we’re sharing the major misstep you may be making when it comes to your salary negotiations!About Me
I know what burnout looks like from the inside and from the top.
I spent years climbing the ranks in corporate leadership, pushing through stress, pressure, and expectations that never let up. On paper, I was successful. Behind the scenes? I was running on fumes. I learned the hard way that overworking isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a slow leak that drains your energy, purpose, and confidence.
That experience changed everything. I didn’t just recover—I rebuilt. Now, I use what I’ve learned to help leaders and organizations do the same.
Over the past two decades, I’ve coached high achievers through burnout, helped teams re-engage, and watched entire cultures shift when leaders step up and lead with clarity and humanity. I’ve also seen what happens when they don’t—and the cost is high.
My keynotes don’t just inspire—they challenge. I bring real talk, research, and a roadmap to help leaders get honest about what’s not working and start making bold, meaningful change. Because burnout isn’t just a people problem—it’s a leadership one. And the right leadership can fix it.
