THE BEFORE I LEAD METHOD
Ten ingredients. Five you grow.
Five you lead.
Julie's father was a celebrity chef who cooked for Frank Sinatra. He taught her that everything good comes down to the ingredients, prepared with care. Leadership is no different.
The ingredients were always the point.

Before I Lead
Most leadership advice starts with strategy, the team, or the title. This book starts earlier, with the person who has to carry all of it. Drawn from Julie's father and his ingredients for success, it is the method behind every keynote and coaching engagement she delivers.
WHERE IT STARTED
My father cooked for Sinatra.
He taught me that greatness is never an accident. It is the ingredients, prepared with care, every single time.
Julie Riga grew up in the kitchen of celebrity chef Ennio Riga, learning that what looks effortless is really preparation. That lesson became her life's work. Helping leaders prepare the inner person before the outer moment ever arrives.
