Keys to Satisfaction Interview Series: No Comparison

After 20 years in one field, I was making a transition to an unknown something else.  I had a pretty good idea of what skills I wanted to use and I definitely wanted to find balance between life and work.  Finding Julie was the ace for me.  I am not a fan of diagnostic tools, but I did find the extensive pre-coaching questions and exercises to be eye-opening.  Besides identifying life/work values, it helped me see what was important for me to have in a workplace.  It also served as our baseline.  With every coaching session, I turned another corner.  I gained a confidence I carried with me throughout my search.  Julie's accessibility via email and phone was invaluable.  I've landed where I wanted to be and it is because Julie helped "hold my feet to the fire" so I could stick with less work and more life.  She is a great coach who inspires, motivates and teaches throughout what turned out to be for me a life-changing journey.

"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."

"The experience of having a career and life coach is absolutely incredible. My mind was so cluttered with goals, ideas, thoughts, and more! Julie helped me clarify my life and career goals; organize my ideas and thoughts in perspective to my priorities, and all while, respecting my spiritual values. I learned more about my preferred style and how to operate in that preferred style to maximize results while at the same time, understanding when and how to adapt my preferred style.

In her wisdom, Julie gently yet firmly challenged me to see barriers and challenges as opportunities. This helped me renew my thoughts and replace my speech so that now, I actively and intentionally view and approach barriers and challenges as opportunities for growth. Literally, my mind, will, and emotions have been retrained to look from the perspective of abundance and not scarcity. The results are amazing—I am a much more balanced and purposeful person, business owner, family member, and friend."
