Meet Julia Felton

Julia Felton (aka the Business Wrangler) is a leadership and team engagement strategist. She works with purpose-driven, brave, bold business owners and executive leaders to help them leverage their time, team and talent so they can reinvent their business, accelerate performance and lead through uncertainty.

Through experiential workshops, training, consultancy, executive coaching and mentoring, she encourages business leaders to challenge the status quo and step out of their comfort zone to see things from another perspective.

Uniquely, she partners with her herd of horses to help businesses to align their purpose, plans, people and processes. By harnessing the principles of the herd, she works to identify the bottlenecks in the business, create high-performance teams and harness leadership skills to enable companies to succeed in the fast-paced, uncertain world in which we live today.

She enables organisations to create Unbridled Businesses that operate on the principles of connection, collaboration and community and where all the team members pull together in the same direction. A place where teams function more effectively and deliver the innovation and creativity that keeps your business at the cutting edge. The result is increased productivity and profitability as twice as much is achieved with significantly less effort.

Julia’s extensive corporate experience includes building businesses and teams from the ground up. During her 12 year career at Andersen and Deloitte, she was responsible for developing a business from an idea on a piece of paper to creating and then building a multi-million-pound business unit that became firmly established as the global market leader, providing business intelligence solutions to the hospitality industry. Her unique ability to work at both a strategic and tactical level means that she is sought after as a high-performance consultant, mentor and coach.

Julia holds a degree in Hospitality Management and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Institute of Leadership Management. She is also a Master Coach and Master NLP practitioner, as well as an accredited GCologist, Employee Engagement Expert and Talent Dynamics Consultant. She is also an accredited Teaching Horse practitioner and member of the International Association of Horse Assisted Educators.

Julia is an accomplished international speaker and in addition to Unbridled Business: Unlocking Nature’s Wisdom To Reinvent Leadership she is the author of Unbridled Success – How the Secret Lives of Horses Can Impact Your Leadership, Teamwork and Communication Skills, as well as a co-author of Change Wisdom: Insights From Successful Change Makers and Fit For Purpose Leadership #6.

Julia lives in Yorkshire with her herd of four rescue horses and although she loves speaking and delivering workshops from stage, she particularly loves facilitating and hosting workshops at the barn with her horses, which she describes as a magical place where life-long transformation occurs. There is something about the power of horses and being in nature that just shifts people to another space, one where they become more self-aware and connected to themselves and others.
