Julie Austin Speaking Topics
All innovation begins with a single spark — an idea. But what if you could teach your entire team to think like inventors and generate those sparks on demand? In this high- energy, interactive keynote, inventor and innovation expert Julie Austin shares her proven “Brainstreaming” system — a practical, inventive twist on traditional brainstorming designed to unlock the creative power already inside your organization.
Using real-world inventor stories and fun, collaborative exercises, Julie shows how even the busiest employees can become everyday innovators — generating ideas for new products, services, marketing campaigns, and process improvements that lead directly to bottom-line results.
Payroll is your biggest expense — why not maximize the collective brainpower you’re already paying for? “Brainstreaming” turns your workforce into an unstoppable idea engine, creating a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and constant innovation.
Attendees Will Learn How To:
- Jumpstart their creativity at work and solve problems faster.
- Use inventive brainstorming techniques to uncover breakthrough ideas. Look outside their industry for cross-pollinated inspiration.
- Find time for creativity — and why it’s the best investment they’ll ever make.
- Build an “inventor mindset” that makes innovation everyone’s job.
Perfect for: Organizations that want to spark innovation from within and turn employees into creative problem solvers.
Disruption is no longer a distant threat — it’s the new normal. From shifting customer expectations to technological leaps and regulatory surprises, every industry faces change. The question is: will you react, or reinvent?
Based on her groundbreaking book, "Surviving Disruption," inventor and innovation strategist Julie Austin reveals unique strategies to help your organization stay agile, resilient, and ahead of the curve. Drawing on lessons from history’s most inventive companies — and her own experience as a patented inventor and manufacturer — Julie teaches audiences how to identify emerging disruptions early, adapt creatively, and turn chaos into competitive advantage.
This engaging, fast-paced keynote equips leaders with an inventor’s mindset: always experimenting, always learning, always looking for the opportunity inside the obstacle.
Attendees Will Learn How To:
- Anticipate and prepare for disruption before it strikes.
- Use creativity to stay ahead of disruption
- Turn disruption into opportunities for growth and reinvention.
- Apply “inventor thinking” to marketing, branding, and strategy.
- Create a future-proof organization that thrives through change.
Perfect for: Business leaders and executives who want to innovate fearlessly and build long-term resilience.
Why do some people seem to have all the luck while others struggle to catch a break? The truth is — luck isn’t random. It’s created. And inventors have been doing it for centuries.
In this inspiring and eye-opening keynote, inventor and creativity expert Julie Austin reveals the science and strategy behind serendipity — and how anyone can learn to engineer their own “lucky breaks.” Through fascinating stories of accidental discoveries like penicillin, Post-it Notes, and microwave ovens, Julie shows audiences how to create the conditions where chance favors the prepared mind.
You’ll discover how to cultivate curiosity, spot opportunities others miss, and turn setbacks into breakthroughs. Serendipity isn’t magic — it’s a mindset. And once you master it, you can transform the way you live, lead, and innovate.
Attendees Will Learn:
- Why curiosity is the #1 catalyst for innovation and opportunity. How to spot and seize opportunities hidden in plain sight.
- How to transform “bad luck” into your biggest breakthrough.
- How to get out of your comfort zone and meet the people who change your path.
- How to build a mindset that attracts good fortune — consistently.
