Hello. I’m Julia Gray.
I’m a speaker, facilitator, coach and artist. I help people navigate modern work and life to include creativity and humanity.
I support human-centred professionals and entrepreneurs to:
- Integrate creativity and humanity into both professional and personal life
- Grow workplaces where people love to be
- Build effective collaboration with their teams
- Develop ethical leadership
If you are looking to think beyond traditional ideas of “success” to include human and creativity-centred life and work, you have found the right place!
Want my street cred? Here are a few examples of projects I’ve been lucky enough to work on:
- Developed opportunities for a wide range of dementia care partners and stakeholders to re-think ‘dementia as tragic’ as part of reducing dementia stigma, including changing practices and policy. Aspects of the project included developing a theatre production, a film, workshops, as well as publishing and presenting to engage different types of people (a joint University of Waterloo-Toronto Rehabilitation project)
- Conducted research about racism, access and belonging for Black students in physiotherapy training programs in Canada (University of Toronto).
- Conducted research and led conversations about the value of the arts, recreation and cultural practices in hospital settings, including events, publications and presentations (Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital).
- Developed a theoretical framework for performance based research called an aesthetic of relationality, that helps to re-think what gets valued as knowledge and the processes to produce that knowledge (University of Toronto).
