CEO Dr. Julie Ducharme
Live, Love, Laugh, and always be your authentic self!
Welcome to Lead and Empower Her SHE Talks, a space where stories spark transformation, and voices unite to create waves of change. I’m Dr. Julie Ducharme, and I’m thrilled to share with you the heart and vision behind this movement that has become a beacon for women around the world.
SHE Talks was born out of a simple yet profound belief: that when women rise, they inspire others to do the same. As a leader, educator, and entrepreneur, I’ve had the privilege of navigating spaces where women’s voices are often underrepresented, and their leadership undervalued. I started SHE Talks because I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of women sharing their stories — stories of struggle, resilience, triumph, and growth. These stories are the catalysts that ignite confidence, empower action, and build a collective legacy of strength.
For years, I’ve worked to champion women in leadership, business, and beyond, but I realized something was missing: a platform that not only amplified individual voices but also fostered a community of support and empowerment. SHE Talks is that platform. It’s a place where women can speak boldly about their journeys, connect with others who share their passions, and leave with the tools and inspiration to rise up in their own unique ways.
At the core of SHE Talks is a commitment to creating lasting change. This isn’t just about inspiration; it’s about impact. It’s about equipping women with actionable strategies, meaningful connections, and a renewed sense of purpose. Whether you’re here as a speaker, attendee, or partner, know that your presence is part of a larger movement — one that celebrates diversity, champions resilience, and fosters growth.
If you’re inspired to join us, explore the opportunities on this site to become a speaker, attend an event, or partner with us in making a difference. Together, we are rewriting narratives, breaking barriers, and proving that when women rise, the world rises with us.
With gratitude and determination,
Dr. Julie Ducharme
