Crystal (Verdun-White) Lay, PhD
by Julie Lancaster View Bio
I’ve had the privilege of learning from and collaborating with Julie Lancaster on several occasions–as a keynote speaker, trainer, and DEI facilitator. And every time, she brings a powerful mix of insight, authenticity, and heart. Julie is thoughtful, engaging, and fun, while also holding space for meaningful, sometimes challenging work. Whether she’s speaking on finding your voice as a leader, building joyful and effective teams, or leading equity-centered training, she strikes the perfect balance between compassion and accountability. You feel seen, valued, and energized—and you leave better than you arrived. Julie doesn’t just invite you to the table; she makes sure you know you belong there.
