“As a Senior Executive Coach, I expect my coach to work to the highest standards of professional competence.  Julie coached me over a period of three months and, with Julie’s challenging gentleness, this is what I experienced as a result:

*  I was able to see any situation I worked on in a totally different light.  Forget the helicopter view: this was an interplanetary shift of perception. This shift made it easy for me to move forward smoothly.

*  I had great fun being myself AND always finished sessions with a great sense of having done some super work.  Julie has a light touch that is profoundly effective.

*  I can honestly say that Julie introduced an element of ‘child-like magic’ in our conversations, which lifted my spirit and consequently refuelled my motivation in a surprising way.  Julie reminded me that being child-like (unlike being childish) is most powerful when dealing with adult professional and personal responsibilities. 

I recommend Julie’s coaching highly because she has transcended the mastery of coaching techniques:  she puts the Art of Coaching at her clients’ disposal.  Art touches the whole person and only a whole person can make real changes that are sustainable.”

 

 

I found the sessions with Julie extremely useful! I was going through a particularly challenging time in both my work and personal life, Julie helped me to explore the options that were available and as a result have a new job, which I am enjoying very much.  Julie was easy to develop a relationship with, at the same time very professional, always encouraging me to keep on track of what I needed to achieve. By the end of the session I had a list of actions and goals that I felt motivated to follow through.

Julie is open-minded and sincere, I felt comfortable to confide in her personal ambitions that I sometimes felt strange discussing with friends or family. It was good to have someone that I could discuss my ideas with without making any judgment of me and allowing their own opinions to affect the decisions I made!

I have already recommended Julie to work colleagues, family and friends. I feel the coaching sessions I had were valuable and worth every penny!

 

 

Julie helps you find your centre ground again in the most joyful of ways.  Her ability to give you the necessary space to focus, explore, express and examine whatever is important is truly wonderful.  I felt safe and unjudged during my coaching sessions and that Julie was really ‘by my side’. I also felt as if I had moved in a forward direction and that whatever was in my head became actionable and achievable. Julie has a smile in her heart and she shares it with love.

 

 

“As a fellow coach I find Julie’s style very refreshing, because it is so different to mine.  She explores issues in a totally different way to me and therefore takes me to places that I have never been to before.  I find her mixture of coaching techniques very challenging and, after our coaching sessions, I always need lots of time to reflect on the journey that she has accompanied me on.  Julie makes me feel much better about myself and allows me to see the value I bring and what I have to offer.”
