The training you receive from Lancaster Leadership addresses the PERMA model developed by Martin Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology.

Through masterful facilitation (and a great sense of humor) Julie has transformed a group of supervisors and managers who had little knowledge of any programs outside their own within the Agency. She has not only provided them with the foundations of leadership but has created a cadre who can now reach across the Agency for solutions and support.

It is rare to participate in a group Leadership Academy and walk away with a fresh uplifting perspective! After 20 years in management and numerous professional development classes, I found Julie Lancaster to be a gem, she shines like no one else. She is engaging, clever and witty, a subject expert, applies “real-world” tangible solutions to difficult situations and work place interactions, that will make a seasoned manager walk away with new outlooks and tools to get the job done.

Chris Maragos, Facilities Manager, Grand Canyon Conservancy

Julie creates a designated space—literal and figurative—for honest, authentic exploration and reflection. This space allows leaders to discuss key ideas, challenge status quo, and learn how to support one another away from their daily grind. These deep connections among the participants and with the content open pathways to improved engagement, increased accountability, and organizational progress.

Allie Stender, MPA, Program Manager III, Coconino County Public Works

Julie coaches leaders to excel to the next level! She recognizes that everyone is a leader and brings out the abilities in all team members to recognize what they do best in order to contribute to a successful team. I am so glad that we were fortunate enough to find and engage Julie in a series of trainings for our team which really brought us together from separate silos to a well-functioning group of individuals that are achieving phenomenal results!

Sandy Corder, Revenue Director, City of Flagstaff

Julie is a true inspiration to business leaders! She has a way of getting to the truth of the matter or addressing the elephant in the room when doing training with leadership teams. She does so without hurting feelings because she is positive and constructive with any feedback that needs to be delivered. I love her positive energy and her honesty! I always leave a session with the motivation and tools to be a more effective leader in my organization.

Lisa Graham, HR Manager, Grand Canyon Conversancy

Spending a day with Julie Lancaster brought a light back into our team! I thoroughly enjoyed Julie’s presentations, insight, and fun demeanor during our staff retreat. It was a most enjoyable day and our team brought back and have continued to build on what we learned!
