“Through regular coaching sessions, Julie enabled me to rediscover my zest and enthusiasm for my working career which had faltered over recent years. I have now left my old company and I am writing this testimonial in Australia where I am considering establishing a consultancy company. Whether this actually happens or not is, in a way, immaterial. The important thing for me is that I have rediscovered my entreprenurial streak which is through, in no small measure, the coaching ability of Julie.”

“As a coach, Julie is superb. Her approach is intuitively tuned to the needs of the client, providing keen insight and constructive challenge. The result is increased self awareness, an objective view of issues and opportunities and a clear development plan. Julie’s approach combines shrewdly selected best practice tools with an understated, insightful coaching style. There are many on the market who believe they can coach and experience suggests you need to select with care. Julie is excellent both as a coach and as a trainer and I recommend her without reservation”.

“Working with Julie has been one of the most valuable elements for my business in the last few years. She has a unique ability to understand the needs of my organisation but also to be able to ask questions in ways which really makes me think more deeply around my goals and priorities. As a coach and facilitator, she is both insightful and challenging - a perfect blend. Anyone who is fortunate enough to work with her will see a definite return on their investment and more importantly, growth in business performance and culture. I would recommend her unreservedly.”

"Julie has always been very professional and supportive, encouraging me to work towards making my dreams a reality. As a result, I have gained more clarity about what steps to take towards my career transition. I would happily recommend Julie to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their life."

“I feel very positive about for once having done something for myself and now feel much better prepared to take the next step into what feels like the next chapter of my life. I always keep my blue folder in my bag and often flick through it on the tube home from work. Just the sight of the blue colour reminds me that I must be true to myself and not do what I think “I ought to be doing”. The uncertainty, frustration and restlessness I had 6 months ago have changed into eagerness to get on with life now that I have a better feel for where I am going.”

“I gained clarity on situations where I was confused; and confidence in situations where I was being too hard on myself. I’ve learnt what makes me ‘tick’ in work situations and what de-motivates me. Julie has given me an excellent ‘lateral’ way of looking at job interviews as well as helping me prepare for a few interviews. I always come away from our sessions with new insights.”

“My reason for wanting coaching was that I wanted to leave my present job and start a full time coaching practice. This was a great challenge for me as I have always worked for big corporations and the thought of being on my own was pretty scary! Julie was very good in providing me with the necessary support in order to make this big change in my life. She was positive and intuitive and kept reminding me of my previous successes when I felt discouraged and unsure. I felt that she really believed in my abilities and therefore helped me to believe in myself. She was a great listener and gave me good insights on the way I expressed myself and so I became more aware about the negative language that I was sometimes using. She was very professional and always well-prepared for our sessions. Her disciplined approach of not making suggestions, and challenging me with powerful questions enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of myself and my strengths. In summary, as a result of the coaching sessions I am now able to confidently move towards my goal of becoming a successful Life Coach and have also developed many positive and empowering beliefs about myself which have benefited many other aspects of my life.”

“My primary reason for the coaching was as an aid in making decisions regarding my career. I found Julie’s advice about dislodging beliefs very useful. For example, I held a certain belief that any decision I make must be one that lasts me for the rest of my working career. After talking to Julie, I realised where that belief had come from and how removing it has allowed me to see other options I had not previously considered. As a result I am now considering a career change which is much more suited to my motivations and I feel much happier and more positive.”

“Julie enabled me through coaching to identify clear goals/vision. She also enabled me to identify key milestones in an 18 month plan that I will be using to reach my vision. During the coaching process I was able to identify ‘blockers’ in me previously being able to reach goals, ‘enablers’ in my skill set to ensure future success and ongoing motivational techniques. It’s down to me now, but having a framework to use and a coach to discuss and develop has been invaluable. Thanks Julie!”
