I am…

  • deeply passionate about supporting leaders and individuals who strive to be their best.

  • an advocate for everyone’s voice being heard. I believe that no one holds all the answers. That it is through sharing our combined experiences, insights, learnings, and questions, that we can curate optimal solutions.

  • a crusader for clarity. Clarity brings alignment and efficiency; demonstrates confidence; allows for more prudent prioritization; and reduces dropped balls and power struggles.

  • a recovering perfectionist by choosing curiosity over black and white thinking. Perfection is a frame of mind, and when we chose instead to look at life from a curious mindset, we see far greater opportunity and flow through the ups and downs with more grace.

  • endlessly curious about what motivates each person.

  • a good listener.

  • an avid hiker, animal lover, and former endurance athlete.

  • enneagram 9 and an ENFP or INFP… depending on the day.

Gratitude

  • "Julie and I worked closely over the last six months on a customized career program. She came highly recommended from a good friend, and I absolutely pass along the recommendation. I really appreciated the time she took to review my overall goals and keep me on track. She also brought very relevant work experience to her coaching style, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Julie if you are challenged in your career and need guidance. Her thoughtfulness was ever-present, and she was extremely helpful to me. Let her do the same for you."

She brings wisdom, compassion and excellent practical insights to her coaching and has assisted many of our employees through difficult transitions or helped them find clarity around a work or life questions. I receive compliments all the time from employees raving about Julie’s coaching—how much it has helped and how much they enjoy working with her.”

  • Working with Julie was a true gift. Her combination of deep wisdom, skilled training, poised leadership and soft human connection makes her a coach like no other. She illuminates answers to questions you didn't know you had and she brings clarity and structure to areas of the unknown. I enjoyed my work with Julie immensely and credit her for giving me confidence to grow in areas that otherwise didn't feel accessible. Her gentle and persistent guidance were comforting and encouraging and became the springboard for personal insights and growth. She is someone who you want with you as a guide as we all walk this windy path of life.

For the first time in a really long time, I feel like the person I’ve wanted to be. I feel confident, sure, open and engaged."

    Janet Weber

  • "Julie has been my co-pilot on some of the major philosophical discussions of the last few years & a key player in my ‘great awakening’ of 2018. Julie is an amazing coach and has been a defining figure in my human journey. Our meetings go too fast, but they always leave me in a place of deep gratitude, wonder, & learning.” “I love working with Julie! I feel clear & calm after talking to her. Julie gives more than just tools for life - she introduces a subtle but profound way of thinking that has cleared my anxiety, lightened the load of personal thought, & disarmed my internal storms. This is work that sticks. It is truly transformative!.”

    Jeff Tang

  • “Julie has an intuitive sense on how to push me to see the barriers in my life & gives me concrete tools to realize how I want to live. The ways that I have transformed & made important changes in my life regarding my career, relationships & awareness of myself wouldn’t have happened without her guidance.”
