Julie Salganik: Reflections on Immigration and Storytelling

My guest today is Julie Salganik of Avance Global Consulting. 

In our conversation Julie shares parts of her story of immigration from the prior Soviet Union to the United States of America when she was four years old.  She shares how that journey shaped her and her work, the generational differences in the immigration experience, and the deep impact of stories -- both the traditional unchanging stories of her family and the changing stories of growth and becoming. 

Julie has spent over 20 years advising, equipping, and coaching leaders working with and through others to flourish and deliver exceptional results. She helps clients navigate differences with others and manage change, complexity and uncertainty.  Julie specializes in working across cultures and has worked extensively with leaders in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, across industries, functions, levels of seniority and other divides.

While the majority of her clients come from life sciences, high tech, and professional services, she also works extensively with startup and non-profit leaders.  Her work combines facilitation and team effectiveness, leadership coaching, and training and leader development.

Facing a big challenge? Looking at a big opportunity? Getting stuck?  Connect with Julie to hear how she can help.
