Julia Moulden

Julia Moulden helps people find new passion, purpose, and possibility in their work.

Who isn’t searching for more meaning – or a way to make a difference? But how to do it when our jobs are so demanding – and when life is so busy?

Julia helps people change the way they think about their work – and our world. “Inspiring” and “unforgettable” are the words most often used to describe this deeply moving speaker.

Her new book – RIPE: Rich, Rewarding Work After 50 – introduces her to a new audience. People who are asking themselves, “What’s next?”. RIPE delivers the news that something unprecedented is just beginning, and that the most satisfying phase of our careers lies ahead.

Moulden has a weekly column on the HuffingtonPost; "The Giving Life" appears each Saturday. Her byline has also appeared in a diverse range of publications, including the The Globe and Mail, Toronto Life, and Ms Magazine.

A speechwriter for CEOs, cabinet ministers, and celebrities for more than 20 years, Moulden's clients include North America's leading organizations, such as AstraZeneca, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Rogers Communications.

Born in Toronto in 1956, Moulden has lived in Europe, the U.S., and Mexico. She kayaks as often as possible on Georgian Bay.

• Julia Moulden spoke at Salon Voltaire during our inaugural series. Her talk was honed, professional, and engaging. We evaluate our speakers on only one metric: how many questions they elicit from the audience. After her talk, the hands went up, and we didn't have enough time for all questioners. We would be delighted to have Julia return to speak at Salon Voltaire.
