As the daughter of Allen Funt, creator of the Candid Camera television show, Juliet has spent her life observing the hidden truths beneath our social selves. She won't hide a camera in your office but will shine a light on the blind spots holding you back from creating the business of your dreams.
Juliet lights up the platform with a true wordsmith's love for the poetry of a well-turned phrase. She then backs up her engaging words and rich stories with thought-provoking content that has made her a nationally recognized expert in the areas of managing stress, communication, connectivity, and presentation skills. Her show biz genes are amplified by years performing improvisational comedy on the professional stage and many, many hours on the platform challenging her audiences to think deeper, laugh harder, and change their lives more profoundly. She helps businesses, from top management to front line employees, find and nurture the human capital that is the fuel behind every organizational success.

Times, The Chicago Tribune, Shape, L.A. Parent and Professional Speaker magazine.

The Life You Touch May be Your Own
Philanthropy at Work
Want something different but truly relevant for your next meeting?
"The Life you Touch" is an exploration of the power of philanthropy in our corporate and personal lives. Consumers are 7 times more likely to pick up a product that with doing good in their community, but that's just the beginning. When people give in any form, formal charitable deeds, mentoring or even giving a bright smile to a grumpy co-worker, they experience a fantastic sense of reciprocal benefit, which is rarely explored. Those who already are in this good habit will have a light shone on the huge relevance of their deeds, and those who are new to extending a hand will be tipped off to the incredible benefits.

Child or Trophy?
An Exploration of College, Grades and Excellence
At what price do we strive for the status of the exceptional? When our children finish college and look back on what led up to it, will they feel they made a good investment of their time, energy and hard won battles for consummate excellence? We hope so, but hope is not enough. Preparing our children for a whole life, including what follows college, requires we weigh the motives, prices and payoffs off all the moves we make.
- Specialness: How much is enough?
- Helping parents through the college conversation

- Modeling: How we teach in every moment
- Bestowing the gift of realistic expectations
