My biggest challenge was self-esteem, both at work but also in life in general. The coaching sessions helped me to talk differently to myself and believe in my own abilities. I have seen a big change in my career but also my life choices because of it. 
 

It was helpful to have someone hold a mirror up and show that small changes can make a huge difference. You also taught me how to set my boundaries and how to become a well-respected colleague. I didn’t think I'd see changes so rapidly, but I did, which was absolutely wonderful. I really felt supported when I was overwhelmed from work and personal issues. You were just there for me which was heartwarming.  I'd also say you have both feet on the ground and a healthy sense of humor, which is important in a coaching relationship as it lightens things up.

I started coaching with Julie as I was assessing career options at my current employer, considering possible internal career paths and options that will align my personal and organizational priorities.  Julie was supportive, radically candid, and provided healthy debate to my decision making. In addition, we worked on best methods of articulating my strengths based on different roles I was exploring. Being a gifted listener, Julie’s empathy, and ability to focus on my goals and to distil what she heard into valuable, credible insight was a priceless asset in our coaching conversations.  This is a unique ability that distinguishes her from all other coaches.

I recently experienced a great loss with the end of a relationship.  As I went through the process of grief, I noticed that I was beginning to experience a myriad of confusing emotions.  While I was making great progress with coming to terms with the end of the relationship... I was not able to overcome the depth of grief.  Julie provided me with the opportunity to go inward and view my emotional baggage from a different perspective.  I highly recommend Julies coaching for anyone in need of examining where they are in their personal lives, visualize what they want to achieve and positively reflect and update their own self-worth beliefs.

I was struggling to plan for a life change from earning a paycheck to starting a company. The coaching relationship was very helpful to take big problems and break them down to bite-size actions that helps you both analyze your problem but also digest a solution that is amenable to the way you perceive the actual issue. Having a framework to guide me through both the rationale and the emotional elements were very helpful. The most significant result was to reach a sense of "calm" regarding my anxiety relative to how life actually plays out. I discovered that my limit wasn't my limit.
