Personal And Professional Philosophy
During an interview last month for an online blog, the interviewer asked me “what would you like to have on your headstone?” Immediately, without taking any time to reflect, I replied “she cared”. I believe that this phrase sums up my personal and professional philosophy perfectly.
The desire to facilitate my clients’ personal development is woven deep into the fibre of my being.
It is my firm belief that by treating people with empathy, non-judgement and respect, you can really make a difference. You can help them help themselves. Moreover, by harnessing each person’s individual resources, lives can be changed and dreams fulfilled.
Using a diverse array of methods in line with client needs – ranging from in-depth discussions, psychometric tests, self-report questionnaires and even hypnotherapy – I work together with my clients, helping them gain better self-awareness and understanding in order to get the life they want.

Life after sport - what next?
The transition out of sport can be particularly problematic. Together with two former professional footballers from the UK, I was recently interviewed to discuss the issues that many athletes face at retirement and what can be done to make the transition easier.

Julie is very knowledgeable about career transition, knowing how to prepare athletes both emotionally and practically for what comes next.

Gerald Metroz THE6IX SPORTS LEADERSHIP
“I had the good fortune to be coached by Julie shortly after I had a major career change and was dealing with new senses of identity. Julie’s starting position is to be open and curious and I felt she was genuinely interested in me and my experiences. Non-judgemental and with no agenda she gently created the space for me to explore and connect with my own shadow beliefs and supported me while I recognised my own blocks. Julie has a passion for her work and for making a difference and comes from a place of authenticity and credibility. I am very pleased I know her.”
Trevor Horne, ex-Leader and Trainer, Royal Navy, United Kingdom
“I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Julie during a career transition from Senior Management in a corporate setting to a successful Consultancy while balancing my family life and stress level. Apart from being extremely professional, Julie possesses a real talent for listening and quickly identifying KPIs in her clients. She continuously furthers her own education and applies that knowledge in the form of quick, fun and extremely effective exercises. She is an exceptional listener who identifies ones strengths and/or opportunities very quickly. Thanks to her own wealth of life and professional experience, she comprehends even the most complex of scenarios and is able to navigate through the complexity to provide great clarity. It has been a pleasure to work with Julie and I would recommend her to anyone who may question what the next chapter in his/her life; both professionally as well privately.”
