Lead Courageously

The Hidden Weight of Success

In striving for excellence, leaders often build invisible armor—meant to protect but ultimately holding them back:

  • GET IT RIGHT

    “I can't afford to make mistakes.”

    58% of employees feel their managers do not tolerate small-scale failures.

  • PROVE YOURSELF

    “When I achieve more, I'll finally feel good enough.”

    71% of CEOs experience imposter syndrome—despite their success.

  • NEVER BE WEAK

    “If I show any weakness, they'll stop trusting me.”

    39% of employees believe their leaders don’t practice what they preach.

  • KEEP THEM HAPPY

    “If I say no, I'll let people down.”

    Nearly 50% of leaders struggle to identify priorities due to being overwhelmed by frequent disruptions.

This armor is heavy — you can go further & faster without it. Let me show you how.

Hey there, I’m Julio!

I helped launch iPad, Google Drive, even self-driving cars. And I got fired. Four times in a row.

Not because I wasn’t smart. Because I became disconnected. From my body. My truth. My heart.

I had to unlearn everything I thought leadership was. The hustle, The hiding. The armor.

Now, I coach and teach leaders a different technology—one we’re not taught in school or strategy decks. One that doesn’t live in the cloud.

It lives in you. It’s called the heart.

And it changes everything.
