Julie Dennis specialises in practical and natural solutions for controlling menopause symptoms and has helped 1000s of women through her popular online programme the Hot Flush Freedom Challenge and her bespoke VIP work.
She is an experienced speaker and has been quoted in the Telegraph magazine Stella, featured on Psychologies Life Labs and was published as part of the Guardian campaign to raise awareness around menopause in 2016.
Julie was prescribed HRT following a hysterectomy in her early 30s and assumed this was a ‘cure’ for menopause.
In search of new challenges following an early corporate career she qualified as a personal trainer and nutrition adviser. She focused on working with older women and soon discovered one of their key concerns was controlling menopause symptoms. She embarked on extensive research in the field and was shocked to discover HRT was a ‘band aid’, not a cure, and took the big decision to wean herself off it.
Menopause symptoms knocked her for six: hot flushes, mood swings, night sweats and brain freeze all appeared in quick succession. She felt like she was losing her mind.
With the help of a menopause mentor Julie was gradually able to put in place the changes that enabled her to get back on track with her health and business, and since then she has devoted herself to helping women manage this vitally important but little talked-about life stage.

Serkan Deveci is a senior leader at Google with two decades of global experience, leveraging a rare and solid combination of leadership roles in both global Sales and strategic HR to drive business success. His career has provided him with a unique perspective, as he hasn’t just observed the disconnect between business imperatives and people leadership; he has operated with distinction on both sides of that executive table.
This dual experience (carrying a P&L and shaping commercial strategy in Sales; guiding workforce planning and defining culture as an HR leader) has given him a deep, firsthand understanding of what it truly takes to align talent with tangible business outcomes. Having led complex, large-scale businesses and substantial sales teams, he brings a commercial acumen to the world of people strategy. His global experience spans EMEA, APAC, the US, and LATAM, giving him a broad view of how these dynamics play out in different cultural and market contexts.
Serkan is a globally recognized keynote speaker, delivering engaging talks on the Future of Work, Leadership Effectiveness, Employee Engagement, and AI in HR. His academic background, including a BA in Economics from Galatasaray University, an MSc in Neuroscience and Psychology from King’s College London, and his current PhD research in Psychology at Warwick University, on leadership and its effects on organizational outcomes, provides a robust, evidence-based foundation for his work.
Serkan has successfully bridged the gap he seeks to close for others. He writes as a practitioner (of both sides — Business Leadership and HR Leadership), who has lived the challenges and developed the solutions he now offers to a new generation of leaders.
