As the daughter of Allen Funt, creator of the Candid Camera
television show, Juliet has spent her life observing the hidden
truths beneath our social selves. She won't hide a camera in
your office but will shine a light on the blind spots holding
you back from creating the business of your dreams.
Juliet lights up the platform with a true wordsmith’s love for
the poetry of a well-turned phrase. She then backs up her engaging
words and rich stories with thought-provoking content that has made
her a nationally recognized expert in the areas of managing stress,
communication, connectivity, and presentation skills. Her show biz
genes are amplified by years performing improvisational comedy on the
professional stage and many, many hours on the platform challenging
her audiences to think deeper, laugh harder, and change their lives
more profoundly. She helps businesses, from top management to front
line employees, find and nurture the human capital that is the fuel
behind every organizational success.
Her diverse work history has taken her through a myriad of roles: from
Project Manger for a live events company to Human Relations trainer
for the Los Angeles Police Department through the Museum of Tolerance,
and even to Israel as a liaison in a Palestinian/Israeli peace project.
Juliet began her television career at two years old at the hands of
her proud poppa, and since has appeared on national news, television,
and radio. She has been featured in the L.A. Times, The Chicago Tribune,
Shape, L.A. Parent and Professional Speaker magazine. She has been
a weekly columnist for the Womenof.com Internet community, and a co-author
of The Communication Path and The Wellness Path, in the Path Training
Series.
She is a member of the National Speakers Association, a certified grief
counselor and fills her spare time running a fine art photography business
with her fabulous and talented husband Lorne, winner of the 2005 Travel
Photographer of the Year. (www.resnickfineart.com) Together they have
co-founded the Young Stars Project, a non-profit organization building
holistic learning schools for children in Uganda. (www.youngstarsproject.org)
All of these worthwhile endeavors come second to spending time kissing
toes and blowing bubbles with the light of her life, Jake, born October,
26th, 2005. (See Life at Home )
Juliet speaks internationally to diverse audiences, naming and questioning
the cultural myths that weigh upon us, and block the possibilities
for joy in our lives. Her programs are great for Associations, Women’s
Groups, Educators, Healthcare, Real Estate companies, and many other
audiences.
