My name is Dr. Julie Connor and I am a confidence builder.  I help students discover their unique voice and speak in front of others with confidence. As a TED and school assembly speaker, I empower youth and adults with communication skills to build relationships, create safe boundaries, and resolve conflicts.

My doctoral degree is in education. I am certified to teach elementary education (K-8) as well as secondary communication arts, speech and theater, English, and science education. I have more than 30 years of teaching experience in traditional and online classrooms.  I empower student teachers and seasoned educators with the same creative and interactive strategies I use with students. 

I speak to students and adults at schools and conferences throughout the country and engage others in conversations about tough topics such as mental health awareness, bullying, substance abuse, and suicide prevention.  I empower youth with skills to create SMART personal goals that prepare them for success. I am the author of an award-winning personal goal-setting book, Dreams to Action Trailblazer’s Guide.
