Clients

I am becoming a stronger leader by trusting myself, empowering others to lead and giving myself grace under pressure. I find myself being more mindful during difficult or stressful times, more empathetic, and I’m more confident. I would absolutely recommend Julie’s services. Her approach is interactive and relevant. Her questions are on point and encourage me to really think through problems. I’m also learning ways to lead with a coach approach. In and out of the work environment, the skills I’ve learned are useful and the confidence I’m gaining is priceless. I believe anyone in a leadership role would benefit from this process and working with Julie.

Julie went above and beyond to meet my needs and exceeded the expectations I had for our coaching relationship. She is personable and handles every encounter with gracious professionalism. She brought a plethora of knowledge, skills and resources to the partnership and was extremely flexible in helping me achieve my goals as a result. I highly recommend her as a coach!

“Julie has helped me identify my passions, embrace my strengths, and gain confidence in attaining my goals for my future. She has a quiet confidence and creates a safe haven to explore your thinking. I have worked with other executive coaches, but I gained the most insight and growth from my time with Julie. I highly recommend her.”

Mary Rasmussen

“In one hour I walked away with a clear vision for the next 5 years AND a business Google listing. And to think all I thought I was looking for was permission to do my consulting work! It’s not often that I can sit and completely share what is on my heart and mind with someone and feel heard. Not only does Julie listen, she understands and asks the right question to help me dig even deeper. When I need a breakthrough and clarity, I always turn to Julie as my coach. She’s amazing at helping me cut straight through to the heart of the matter. No matter where you are struggling, I highly recommend Julie as a coach.”

Coaching helped me to clarify my purpose and vision, which is just what I wanted and needed. I enjoyed having Julie metaphorically hold my hand as I walked through these issues. I highly recommend Julie as a coach. Her approach is individualized to each client’s needs. She met me right where I was at and helped me move forward.

“Jane”

HIgher Education

I’m really satisfied where I’m at right now because of coaching with Julie. Having another person listen, without judgment, to what I’m thinking, feeling and experiencing was powerful. I’ve discovered that self-awareness isn’t just there. It’s like a muscle you need to exercise. There’s a lot of white noise in my world and if I focus on what matters, the things that don’t matter melt away.


Through coaching, I developed strength in my ability to talk out issues with my partners in a positive fashion, and to make time for myself and not be a martyr for my business. I’ve set bright lines for what I want to achieve in all areas of my life, made definitive decisions and am ready to actively pursue those goals.


I recommend Julie as your coach. Everyone should have the opportunity to discover what’s really important to themselves. Take action. Don’t just wait for it to happen.

“John”

Business Owner

While there were many positives of my time being coached by Julie, I think the most revelatory moment came as we dug into my “why” for the changes I wanted to make. Through Julie’s insightful questioning, I had an epiphany which completely changed my thinking.


I loved how we collaboratively set the scope of our work together and then shaped it further throughout the process. Julie did a great job listening between the lines as we spoke and helped me figure out what I thought was important.


I absolutely recommend Julie for your coach. I enjoyed her positive, upbeat manner and great questions. She also provided excellent resources. That’s value added to our already valuable coaching sessions.”

Bob

Business Owner

I started looking into coaching when trying to resolve some very specific challenges in work. Once I found Julie, and we started talking through those issues, our conversations quickly expanded towards what kind of leader I aspire to be, and, even more broadly, to changes I could make to better align my life with my values and priories.


As a coach, Julie has been a great sounding board to talk through circumstances in my work and life, as well as the big picture goals of where I want to be. Taking this step and working with Julie as my coach, has been a worthwhile investment in myself, and I would recommend it for others.”

“Jane”

Nonprofit Executive

I went into coaching not knowing what to expect, but knowing I needed help in some fashion. Julie helped me organize my thoughts, hopes, goals, and strategies into an actionable game plan. It was so incredibly helpful to have her strong focus keep things from getting off-topic. Julie’s support helped me manage a major growth stage in my company, laying a foundation to keep the growth solid and functional.

My time coaching with Julie was like a much-needed ‘pause’ button on the whirlwind of chaotic growth. It allowed me time and focus to define the chaos, thereby eliminating it.
Julie has a professionally pleasant demeanor, and can establish a solid structure to a purposeful conversation. I think her ability to maintain focus found its way to me by way of influence. I feel like I can now make decisions with more confidence, with a well-defined foundation of purpose. If you’re considering Julie as your coach, I absolutely recommend her!”

Quickbooks Consultant, Clarity Accounting Services, Inc.

Working with Julie helped me to gain clarity about what is realistic, achievable, and most important (to me) in my work life. Working together I stayed focused on my top priorities instead of getting caught up in tasks that didn’t move me forward toward my goals. I really looked forward to every one of our conversations knowing I would come away with something of value to think about or do. Our conversations always felt like a brainstorming session! Perhaps what I valued the most was Julie’s ability to help me see things from other perspectives. I highly recommend Julie as a coach. And I believe coaching is a valuable investment for anyone who wants to make the most out of their work and life.”

My time spent with Julie was truly the highlight of my week. She is a genuine, compassionate person who used her skills to help me step up out of the daily “grind” and take a clearer look at how far I’ve come and focus more on where I’m headed in both my career and personal life. Navigating the challenges we face each day tends to require so much of our energy that we aren’t always sure whether or not we are progressing toward our goals. Having a coach like Julie has been an invaluable compass for me!”

Julie is everything I could ever want in a coach! She is sincere, intentional, and purposeful to keep the conversation on track while holding a safe and confidential space for growth to take place. When it’s time to explore my current obstacle or goal, she asks insightful questions that allow new perspectives and deeper understanding to spring forth. No matter what I bring to our call, she is ready to dive deep and support, providing the opportunity to overcome limiting beliefs and create actions that move my goals forward at a faster pace than I could ever accomplish on my own.”
