Testimonials for Julia Palmer

Business relationships take time to develop. Don't expect relationships to be instantly profitable. Networking is not just the selling and buying process. People discuss ideas, interact and learn

UNSW Sydney has engaged Julia and Relatus for the last five years to equip UNSW researchers with the essential networking, relationship management and human skills needed to succeed in contemporary workplaces and society more broadly. Gone are the days when deep technical and subject matter expertise alone are sufficient for success. Julia is an outstanding communicator and facilitator and I cannot recommend her highly enough to all sectors and disciplines.

Our business thrives and grows off the back of client relationships, we will grow 15% this year. Over the last decade we have grown by 300% and I have no doubt this is due to the training we have done with Julia in developing our networks and capabilities. This blended program over several months was by far our best investment in our people and the results are showing that it has been very worthwhile.

Over the years and through the various organisations where I have managed capability development, Julia has facilitated numerous events – from short keynotes to extended programmes. Julia actively listens, asks discerning questions and then tailors the programme to align with corporate and business imperatives. Julia is an absolute delight to work with, extremely professional and nothing is ever too onerous.”
