From Our Clients
“Through WIN, I have been working with Julie Cohen, an exceptional coach and mentor. She has not only guided important decisions related to our organization but, through her, I have gained confidence in my abilities to be a young female leader.”

Kathryn C. Hall, Founder
Power Up Gambia
"I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Julie and plan on continuing. I interviewed at least a dozen "life coaches" and most of them specialized in either "life" or "career" coaching. Julie's professional background, infectious personality (even over the phone) and her ability to deftly maneuver the combined space of a work/life coach made her an quick choice for me as a personal coach. There are simply so many wonderful things to say about Julie and her practice that it is hard to know where to start. First of all, Julie is a consummate professional. The materials are professional quality and Julie keeps the sessions on time (but without running off before reaching a conclusion). Julie also uses gentle reminders to ensure that the fieldwork is completed and the effectiveness of each session is maximized. In addition to finding more effective ways for me to work with people, Julie really helped me grow personally by having me focus on my work/life boundaries and incorporating time for myself in my schedule. Julie was committed to ensuring that I recognized and applied these boundaries in my life and this has led to more personal and professional fulfillment. I have always preached this with my team and employees, but often had trouble applying this in my life. All and all I have to say that working with Julie has been an absolute pleasure and the effects of that are more personal and professional fulfillment and really taking a proactive approach to living my life, rather than being an observer to it."

Financial Services Executive, Chicago, IL, USA
"When I started working with Julie I felt trapped, stifled creatively and disempowered in my job. I could communicate all of the things I didn’t want professionally but couldn’t seem to look beyond my immediate circumstances to the horizon of an ideal career. The materials Julie distributes before the first session are undoubtedly the most helpful, self-reflective, enlightening and important exercises I have ever completed. During the following nine months we worked together, Julie ushered me from a frustrated young assistant clawing at the walls of my cubicle to a satisfied, empowered creative professional with my own business. Julie walked me through leaving my position on good terms, articulating my career goals and ideal work environment, and creating concrete goals and deadlines to achieve self-employment. Most importantly, Julie helped me to reach this place at my own speed, on my own terms, with my own best interest in mind. I eagerly looked forward to our sessions together, and felt a giddy sense of possibility and new-found perspective after we spoke. [I cannot recommend Julie highly enough, and especially to young professionals in the final throes of floundering after college graduation who now face 30 years of uncertainty and undefined career goals]. Julie is a terrific listener, a true advocate, an unparalleled professional and a warm voice of reason, wisdom and ingenuity at the other end of the line. She is also wonderfully adept and steering the conversation to maximize our time together. Many of the skills I’ve learned I transfer into my everyday life, and have become more present, deliberate and focused on my happiness. I am reminded of Goethe’s saying, "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!" For the many of us who are waiting to "begin it," the answer is Julie Cohen."
