Coaching

The International Coach Federation defines coaching as a partnership with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. My clients are leaders in organizations, in their families, their communities and in their own lives. They are professionals, business owners, nonprofit executives, moms, dads and other people-influencers. They want to create or manage change, or achieve a big goal. Most want to strengthen relationships, achieve greater balance and well-being.

We work together in partnership. Coaching shortens the time it takes to achieve your goals and growth by inspiring creativity and possibilities; encouraging consistent and purposeful action; and providing accountability to achieve your best. It is transformation from the inside out.

My Commitment as Your Coach

Your Agenda. Your Goals. It’s about what you want to accomplish. You set the agenda overall and at every session. I will listen fully and ask powerful questions to help you get clear, focused and take consistent action.

Champion your growth. I will always challenge you to press the limits on your self-awareness; to explore possibilities and other perspectives; to lead yourself through obstacles that get in the way; and to take action that moves you forward.

Mindset Focus. How we think and feel impacts what we do and say (or don’t do or say). I coach through the lens of emotional intelligence which directly correlates with your level of effectiveness, your relationships, your well-being and life satisfaction.

Call you out. I will point out blind spots and patterns in your behavior, challenge you to take appropriate action; and guide you toward your full potential.

Feet to the Fire. Working with a coach provides built-in accountability. I will also encourage you to create systems that help you take the actions you commit to.

A Safe Space. As an intuitive leader, one of my gifts is that of creating a calm space where you can be authentic and fully heard. It’s a space to reflect, gain insight and perspective. In addition, our work and each session is completely confidential unless you choose to share the information.

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. Julie really listened between the lines as we spoke and helped me figure out what I thought was important. ~Bob

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. 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. ~Kathleen

With Experience Comes Wisdom

For the last thirty+ years, my career and life have provided rich opportunities to gain a variety of experience both deep and wide. From corporate to entrepreneur. From employee to consultant and consultant to coach. From Human Resources to Marketing Communications and Technology. Through triumph and failure; promotion and defeat; gain and loss; healthy and health-challenged, all have shaped who I am today as a leader, and as a coach to other leaders and individuals.

I bring every ounce of it to my coaching and to live out my purpose to affirm, inspire and encourage personal growth and well-being in those around me. It is also the drive behind the three types of coaching/consulting that I offer individuals. Click one of the boxes below.
