COURSE TUTOR

Julie Garland McLellan

Julie is one of very few women to have a portfolio of boards including chairing an ASX listed company and is respected for her practical experience. She is a frequent speaker at conferences and a prized reference for journalists. She has developed and delivered director education for the Governance Institute of Australia, The Australian Institute of Company Directors, and leading international institutions. Julie works with company directors and chairs to help them to build the success they desire in the boardroom.

Julie Garland McLellan

She is knowledgeable across a number of relevant areas (board processes, psychology, English, practical experience, etc.) and integrates them so effectively in context. She also has a lovely, relaxed, personable style …and, she is a great teacher with a high level of EQ who also clearly understands the process of teaching and learning. I wish I had been exposed to her course a long time ago – especially the clarity of understanding of how board papers are designed to meet the legal responsibilities of board members. That was something of an epiphany for me.
