Lead Change with Calmfidence

Culture is often the most challenging part of change. You can buy new technology, but you can’t buy trust, clarity, or commitment.

Whether it’s adoption within a small team or a global reorganization, what matters most is your people.

I know because I’ve been leading change and communication programs for over two decades — helping organizations connect strategy to story and story to action.

Today, I partner with executives and teams to lead transformation with empathy, clarity, and what I call calmfidence — the balance of calm and confidence that inspires trust through change.

It’s a people-centered approach to communication and change that creates alignment, accelerates adoption, and sustains results.

Let’s ready your team to do this together.

FOUNDER

Julie Whitten

Throughout my 25 years of leading change, marketing, and communications, a consistent message emerges. Success is best measured by the people it affects.

Sometimes, change is your choice, and at other times, it happens to you. The way this is presented is almost more important than the change itself.

I’ve led dozens of high-profile corporate change management and communications initiatives, moderated 300 broadcasts, and worked with leaders around the globe on change communications.

Now, I help organizations and change management practitioners navigate transformation with a people-first lens to achieve the best results for all.

About Julie Whitten

From Corporate to Consulting Experience

People-first change management is my mission.

I have 25 years of experience in corporate communications, marketing, and change management.

Most recently, I served as Vice President of Change Management & Communications at Upstate Niagara Dairy Cooperative. I also held Senior Director and Director leadership roles in change management and communications at Sodexo, a Fortune 500 company with over 400,000 employees worldwide.

I am a member of the invite-only Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC) and a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner. I hold executive education credentials from Cornell University, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Communications from Ithaca College in New York.

I am also the voice behind Big Girl Panties Diaries. This bold and insightful series blends humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom to explore the complex intersection of personal growth and professional leadership.

    Executive Communications

    Every transformation needs a compelling story that moves people.
