Coaching as a Partnership
We work together in partnership. Through confidential, thought-provoking, challenging conversations, we look at where you’re at versus where you want to be. We work to get crystal clear on your vision, values, and strengths. Then we create bold goals, and an action plan to help you get there.
I’ve worked in the corporate and entrepreneurial world for over two decades. It is my honor to help professionals create their own definition of success, use their strengths to step out in a bigger way, and ultimately create significance by using their greatest abilities and passions to leave the world a better place. Succcess and Significance.
If you are an organizational leader or executive, partnering with a coach provides someone who believes in, challenges, champions and encourages you to expand and elevate your thinking and transform your leadership to achieve enhanced performance outcomes.
Coaching provides a safe space for leaders to reflect, learn and strategize…
- By engaging with powerful questions they generate insight.
- Through exploration of different perspectives they gain clarity.
- With world-class assessment tools they improve self-awareness.
- In developing the learnable skills of emotional intelligence they increase influence, improve decision-making, deepen relationships, increase well-being and life satisfaction.
- By stepping outside their comfort zone they create transformation.
Coaching does not teach you “how.” It is a powerful alliance between two people that produces exceptional outcomes. As a coach, my role is to create a safe space to draw out the best in my client. No agenda and no judgment.
I bring my extensive skills, valuable corporate and entrepreneurial experience, sage life wisdom, and world-class accreditations to support leaders to make the shift from high potential to high performing. From surviving to thriving.
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.

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.
