COACHING STYLE AND APPROACH

Julie works with clients to identify key strengths and target the areas for growth that will make the biggest difference to their leadership or improve their wellbeing - so they can be at their best more often. She loves working with leaders who are transitioning to, or preparing to transition to, more senior roles and supporting them to develop the skills they need to face challenges. Julie fosters impactful leadership by enabling her clients to develop better relationships with their teams and key stakeholders, to in-turn create impactful outcomes for their organisations.
