If you feel like you're doing it all and still not getting ahead, you're not alone

You are smart. You are experienced.

You care deeply about the people you serve.

Yet your day still looks like:

A calendar full of calls with very little white space
A list of good ideas and almost no follow through
Money that comes in but not in a way that feels steady
Big dreams and too little structure to reach them

That's not because you're lazy or disorganized.

It's because you're trying to be the entire company and the leader at the same time.

Now imagine instead:

You start each week knowing what to focus on
Your offers are clear and easy to talk about
You feel confident speaking about your work in any room
You plan your time around impact, income, and rest

Many aspiring and established leaders face these challenges. But the good news is,
you can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Introducing Before I Lead:

A comprehensive live group coaching program designed for small business owners and service based entrepreneurs who are ready to become strong, confident leaders in their business.

We meet three times each week in a powerful rhythm that touches your sales, your speaking, and your schedule.

What Leaders Say about Julie's Programs

Julie Riga’s program has been a game-changer for me. I thought I knew LinkedIn, but she has opened my eyes to strategies and tools I didn’t even realize I was missing. Beyond the incredible knowledge, she’s connected me with inspiring new people and created a supportive space to grow.

What makes Julie’s sessions so impactful is that they’re working sessions — not just theory, but learning and applying in real time. From building stronger presentation skills to organizing my calendar for success, each week I walk away with practical tools and renewed confidence.

Julie has a gift for seeing possibilities in people and helping them shine. I’m so grateful for all I’ve learned and the growth I’ve experienced through her program.

Caite Corripio, Be Healthy & Vibrant

This program is for you if you:

You are a new or aspiring leader looking to build a solid foundation for success.
You are an experienced leader seeking to refresh your skills and adapt to the changing landscape.
You are passionate about making a difference but unsure how to translate your vision into action.
