"Being a great listener and an effective communicator, Julie firmly guided me in understanding my strengths and unique skills.  Using a variety of examples and analogies she taught me how to bring hobbies into work life. Under Julie's guidance, my career plan started to take shape -- I was able to realize what I wanted to do and it made total sense for me.

Working with Julie is more than a pleasure.  She possesses a unique skill of knowing how to probe, how to challenge, and how to encourage and she does it very gently.  Julie's coaching allows you to come up with answers to serious challenges without even realizing that you are being coached.  Julie's coaching gave me a lot of confidence to make a quick decision at the right moment and to take advantage of an internal opportunity within the company.

This change put me on the path that Julie helped me to define.  I look forward to going to work ... thanks to Julie."

"My work with Julie allows me to push myself past any pre-set boundaries or limitations. I now believe it is possible to attain any goal I set for myself: one-step-at-a-time... Julie has a razor sharp mind, is very professional yet supportive in a non-judgmental way. She expects a lot from her clients, and delivers a lot - She is conscientious, reliable, and resourceful. She is quick to assess a given situation and help you find a desirable outcome. Anyone who is ambitious and has dreams and goals they want to achieve simply can. Working with a career coach has taught me skills I use in all facets of life: from writing a publication manuscript to planning my wedding in an organized and efficient manner. My dreams are becoming actualized and are no longer vague amorphous thoughts and desires. My life is much fuller and productive now that I know how to be pro-active."

"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."
