About the Author :
Julie Campbell, President and CEO of the Severn Leadership Group (SLG), is making the world a better place through virtuous leadership. She is the mother of two strong-willed boys and the wife and head cheerleader for her college athletics coaching husband and his team. She served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy, holding various leadership positions in space systems, electronic warfare, and communications, followed by 15 years of leadership experience in the defense, information technology, and nonprofit industries. With a passion and curiosity for people and their purposes, Julie is a lifelong mentor and collaborator with a mission to help others level up their leadership as they change the world. When she is not knee-deep in creating partnerships, fundraising, writing, and growing the SLG network of mentors, fellows, and supporters, you can find her volunteering at her son's school, shuttling her boys to sports, playing board games, or walking, listening to podcasts, and reading (sometimes all three at once)!
