About Our Guest

Dr. Julie Ressler decided early on, around the age of 9, that she wanted to be a teacher, however exactly what kind of a teacher wasn’t established until later in life. Growing up in northeast Iowa, her passion for education and helping people grow and learn was influenced by her parent’s chosen professions of high school teacher and business owner. Observing these two amazing role models encouraged her to pursue a career as a teacher of adults-which in her words are “little kids” in bigger bodies.

Over the past thirty years, she has been a proud member of the Des Moines community working in banking and insurance in various corporate training roles. She is currently the AVP-Insurance Operations Training at Athene USA, where she leads a talented team of performance improvement professionals.

She earned a B.S. from Iowa State University and a master’s degree from Drake University, both in adult education. She’s certified in Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Prosci Change Management. Julie completed her doctorate degree in educational leadership from Drake University, May of 2024.

Her greatest accomplishments include raising two daughters and a son. Lauren (29) is a school psychologist with the Juneau, Alaska school district, Madelyn (27), a graphic designer at Athene in Des Moines, and her 22-year-old son, CJ served as an Army Ranger and is currently pursuing a degree to serve as an anesthesia nurse practitioner.
