About Lemon Co
I was tired of pushing sh&t uphill. So I built Lemon Co.
Real performance starts with brain-safe cultures.
I started Lemon Co because I was tired of pushing shit uphill.
Tired of fighting for people-centred leadership in systems that rewarded burnout, politics, and bad behaviour.
Tired of watching smart, values-led people break under the pressure of performative leadership and toxic culture.
It’s why I walked away from executive leadership and stepped into consulting.
Because the truth is - when you build brain-safe workplaces, the results speak for themselves.
You get sustainable performance. Healthy teams. Better decisions.
Not burnout and drama masquerading as “high performance.”
- I’ve seen what happens when people are promoted without support. I’ve coached the leaders who were thrown in the deep end, and I’ve seen the ripple effect on teams.
- I’ve also led teams where people thrived. They stayed, grew, and brought their best. Because the culture made that possible.
At Lemon Co, we don’t do fluff. We build human-first workplaces, grounded in neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and psychological safety.
This is real culture change. For people who are done pushing sh&t uphill.

Meet Julie - The Brain Behind Lemon Co
Julie Cockerill
Founder. Chief Hope Officer.
Leadership & Culture Expert | Coach | Neuroinclusion Advocate & Educator.
Julie is an experienced executive leader, coach, and consultant who helps organisations build brain-friendly, high-performance cultures. Her work is deeply grounded in neuroscience, wellbeing science, and her lived experience as a woman with ADHD.
After three decades in global leadership roles, leading great teams and building capability and culture programs, I chose to start my own business.
I knew we had to start working differently. I knew, corporate work environments were doing it all wrong.
Personally:
- I couldn’t keep working in systems that measured success by hours in the office instead of the energy and wellbeing of the people doing the work.
- Where burnout was seen as a weakness, not a warning sign.
- Where pushing through was rewarded, and leading with clarity, calm, and care was overlooked.
Things needed to change and I could be part of the problem, or part of the solution.
So I took everything I’d learned, and reimagined it.
Decades of real-world leadership experience, infused with neuroscience, wellbeing, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and mental health.
As a woman with ADHD, I bring a perspective shaped by lived experience, of masking, managing complexity, and moving between brilliance and burnout.
Now I help leaders do the same:
Lead with clarity. Build cultures that work with the brain. And create space for people to thrive, without burning out in the process.
This isn’t just what I do. It’s who I am.
If you’re ready to lead with your whole brain, and your whole self, let’s talk.
