“I had ideas for a new career direction . . . a fresh start . . . but I needed help to focus my energy. Could my new career idea actually work?
Working through the coaching process in which no thoughts are dismissed . . . anything is possible. . . Julie helped me break the whole process down into manageable steps. In no time at all, she helped me prove that my dreams were realistic. I could make a living doing something I loved. I felt re-energized.
I hadn’t felt sure of anything for a long time, but Julie systematically helped me get my confidence back. That was huge. I was able to re-focus and release the vibrant, creative, optimist in me. Julie is authentic, organized, and inspiring. As a result of coaching with her, I found a person I thought was lost . . . ME!”
“As a coach Julie is focused, always encouraging, practical and compassionate. Based on her corporate background and her switch to an entrepreneurial role, she has a broad perspective. She also has an understanding of my entrepreneurial goals and the concerns I have. Our coaching sessions provide a huge lift for me. Often, the discussions with Julie help me have a more optimistic outlook, which is half the battle!
I definitely appreciate Julie’s holistic approach to coaching. She looks at the whole person, not just a slice of my life. Julie is always ready to pick up where we left off, and I always feel that she really cares about me and helping me move forward.”
“Before I called Julie, I was a mess. I had lost my job and not only didn’t know what I wanted to do but I didn’t have the confidence in myself to do it. The thought of sitting through interviews terrified me and any job that I wouldn’t have gotten would have felt like another failure.
Julie is so upbeat; she was wonderful at bringing out the best in me. At the beginning of my coaching, she had more confidence in me than I had in myself. It never felt like a ‘teacher/student’ situation, yet at the end of each session, I always learned something new about myself. Julie is a great listener and she has the ability to pull out the details of what I would say to help me decide what was best for me.
I gained so much by coaching with Julie. She taught me what it truly means to have balance in my life. Working with Julie helped me regain my confidence. I had never thought of starting my own business, but here I am, 3 months after my coaching sessions, with letterhead, business cards, a website and yes, even clients to call my own!
Toward the end of my sessions with Julie, my husband asked me if I would change anything about my coaching and I told him the only thing I would change is that I would have called her sooner.”
"Before I began working with Julie I worried constantly about what other kind of career I could pursue at this time in my life. After being in my line of work for 13 years, straight out of college, I wasn't sure what to do. I could 'take the easy way out' and stay within my industry, but my work was no longer fulfilling.
As a result of the work I did with Julie, I'm no longer worried about my future career path. I'm pursuing a career in education and am studying for the teacher's entrance exam. I'm taking one small step at a time.
Thanks to working with Julie, I opened up a huge spectrum of career opportunities that I never thought possible."
"As a business owner, I had a lot of ideas that were not being implemented. That was frustrating to me. Since I began working with Julie, I've been able to organize and implement many of those ideas.
Coaching has helped me to grow my business and improve my operation at the same time. Business leaders need to set aside time for long-term goals and planning to be successful in the long run.
Julie is focused, insightful, and relaxed. Her business background has been a great asset to me and she has become an 'informal board member' of my organization."
“Before coaching with Julie I felt stuck and trapped. I knew I needed to make a job and/or career change, but was overwhelmed with the challenges in doing that at this point in my life. I found Julie’s coaching program logical, well defined, and natural. The results and insights seemed to flow naturally during the exercises and our weekly conversations. The outcomes were not contrived in any way, but were genuine and quickly and effectively helped me chart a new course.
Julie was very supportive and positive which I expected. Beyond that, though, she was able to pick up on details in each session that helped me get beyond some obvious conclusions and frame the results in a more meaningful way. She is thoroughly professional, very well prepared, knowledgeable, and conversant on a wide variety of topics.
The coaching process was very worthwhile for me because Julie really helped me focus on the important aspects of aligning my career with who I really am as a person. The most satisfying aspect of coaching was that ultimately, with Julie’s guidance, I took the steps. This really boosted my confidence and self esteem. Her coaching gave me the lift I needed as I redefined my career and shaped my job search.”
"A close friend of mine attended Julie's workshop, "Discover Your Best Self" and was very impressed. Knowing I was in a 'holding pattern' and in need of direction, she suggested I call Julie. After a 25 year hiatus from the workplace to raise my children, I was floundering not knowing where to turn as I contemplated my next step.
With Julie's help, and for the first time in my life, I have been able to identify my career passion. I've had a lifelong desire to assist others in the field of health education by providing the information necessary to help people make healthy, informed lifestyle choices.
With enthusiasm, motivation and belief in my abilities, Julie helped me take the necessary steps forward to embrace a new world of possibilities. She has taught me to believe in my potential.
Julie is truly in the business of helping others achieve their dreams through a succession of goal oriented exercises."
“For me, Julie has broken down the arduous process of making a long awaited career change into manageable steps. She works very hard for you – not only in the coaching session itself but with timely and thorough follow-up. She has very constructive ideas about how to proceed and never ends a session before its natural conclusion. Julie did a superb job preparing a strong CV (resume) for me as part of the coaching process. I would recommend Julie to anyone who has taken too long to make important changes and needs encouragement to take that first step.”
“Julie helped me through my transition to business owner from corporate employee. At a time when I was unsure that I could be successful on my own, she guided me through the discovery and planning processes. Soon I was on my way! Even though I had signed up for the career coaching sessions, they quickly morphed into business coaching sessions for a start-up. She is flexible and creative, bringing out the best in me – excellent results!”
“Julie has been an amazing career/life coach and guide to me over the past several months. Not only is she wonderful to talk to, but she has guided me through a huge business/life move. Without Julie and her services I may have made decisions that would have led my life and career in the wrong direction. I recently moved my company to Boston and could not have done this without the help and guidance of Julie’s services and career coaching. Through her consulting I am now feeling confident about my new adventure and career path. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone searching for a new path in their life and career. I plan to use Julie for future guidance as I build my business here in Boston.”
