What Leaders Say About Julie
"[Julie] was great with listening, helping and keeping me inspired. I liked her energy, down to earth and just real."
About Julie
Julie is a certified professional coach who is known for her infectious energy and natural zest for life. She is passionate about helping leaders build confidence from within to create a deep sense of inner trust, resulting in confident decision making without second-guessing. Julie has 15 years of corporate experience, starting her career in advertising as an account manager and transitioning into HR as a leader, executive coach and mentor in both the entertainment and advertising industries. Reflecting on her time spent in the corporate world, she has learned that focusing on what is in your control is far more productive than stressing out about what is not. As a coach, Julie has a vast range of experience: from first-time managers looking to gain clarity on their leadership style, to senior leaders who want to align (or re-align) their values to how they lead, and individual contributors seeking to hone their leadership voice. At the core, Julie empowers each to lead with confidence, authenticity and purpose. Beyond her ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential, Julie brings specialized training as an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner and Positive Intelligence Mental Fitness Coach. She holds a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) designation and a BA in Mass Communication from Winona State University. She lives in Chicago with her husband and spends most weekends in the northwoods of Wisconsin (#lakelife is the #bestlife).

A strong, trustworthy partnership, with you
What Holds Me Back
My inner judge, who I've named the "Manipulative Abuser" (or, MA!). MA! has evil arms that can be disguised as a warm embrace, but really, that ugly hug is her way of manipulating me to believe her sabotaging words like: "I'm not good enough, smart enough..." etc
I Work Best When
Communication is flowing
I can bring my whole self - from my inner vulnerability to my loud and distinct laugh (which I've been told is contagious)
My Favorite Quote
Clarity comes from engagement, not thought.
- Marie Forleo
