Testimonials (2)
  • Julie Ducharme’s Daring to Disagree session at Achieve was electric. She reframed disagreement as a catalyst, not conflict — giving us tools to challenge the status quo with insight, strategy, and conviction. Her message wasn’t just inspiring — it was a call to lead, build, and speak boldly. For anyone stepping into uncharted territory, this perspective is pure gold.

  • Dr. Julie Ducharme lit up the Achieve stage with a bold truth: disagreement isn’t conflict — it’s clarity. She gave us permission to challenge what no longer fits and lead from alignment. One sentence — ‘I disagree with __, so I’m building __’ — became a turning point. Julie reminded us that when you speak with insight, strategy, and conviction, you don’t just shift the room — you shift what’s possible.
