Bio Info

Justine Froelker is a nationally recognized speaker, corporate trainer, and author helping organizations build courageous leaders and connected teams through the power of essential human skills. With more than 25 years of experience in mental health, personal development, and professional growth, Justine brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to well-being, leadership, and resilience that resonates from the boardroom to the break room.

A Licensed Professional Counselor and the creator of Courage is Built Here™, Justine equips teams and leaders with tools for authentic self-awareness, effective communication, and sustainable self-care. For over a decade, she was certified in Dr. Brené Brown’s work on courage and empathy, and she now shares her own curriculum with organizations committed to real, human-centered change.

Known for her mix of grit, grace, and the occasional well-placed curse word where appropriate, Justine helps audiences and clients speak the unspoken, lead with heart, and show up with courage—even when life or work doesn’t go as planned. She’s worked with teams across industries to reduce burnout, foster inclusion, and develop leadership rooted in vulnerability and accountability.

Justine is the author of twelve books, including five Amazon best-sellers, and her latest, Courage Is Built Here, shares her signature leadership framework. She’s delivered two TEDx Talks, and her work has been featured in the YouVersion Bible App, national media, and dozens of podcasts. Whether through in-person or virtual workshops, trainings, or keynotes, Justine delivers powerful insights that inspire action and lasting change.

She lives in St. Louis with her husband and two beloved dogs and in her free time, you’ll find her rescuing baby birds, raising butterflies, and marveling at the magic of nature.
