About Me
I am passionate about coaching. I help people identify their career path and work passion. I give them the tools to make their goals a reality. For the mature individual, I am your guide to finding fulfillment in your career, job or partial retirement.
During my teen years I realized my life purpose was to help and support others. I realized, however, that I did not have the knowledge and skills - so, my journey began. First as a public school teacher in Philadelphia and Denver. During my teaching career, the opportunity to train other teachers presented itself. It was then I realized I wanted to work with adults. I left public education to enter the private sector; first as a trainer, then course developer moving on to training project manager and internal training consultant. As times changed along with my ever increasing desire to know more what made people tick, I ventured into the world of business owner. Of course it was people related business - offering courses in communication skills, negotiation, presentation skills and best of all - team building. It didn't take long to realize a distinct pattern was emerging - class & workshop participants were asking for advice, guidance and solutions. Informally, I started a coaching practice. Soon another message came - loud and clear - from neighbors, colleagues, from people attending my workshops. I heard many times, "You should be a coach - you're a natural."
As your coach, I will serve as your guide; giving encouragement, exploring the possibilities with you a defined time frame. You, too, can reach the next summit in your journey.
The biggest influence in my life has been the journey to become a Master NLP Practitioner. NLP, in a nutshell, is about human excellence and how to achieve it.

I had recently become the new manager of a seasoned team of project managers. While I was able to develop wonderful working relationships with most of my new team members and clients, I felt I had failed to build good rapport with others. I asked Julie for coaching on how I could become a better communicator with my employees and clients.
Having gone through a couple Meyers-Briggs-type programs, I wasn’t sure I’d learn anything new about myself, but I was wrong. I began by completing a Proscan assessment, and then I participated in five hour-long personal coaching sessions with Julie – all by phone.
During each session, Julie and I explored my personal and professional communication traits. She exposed areas I hadn’t considered before and helped me discover new approaches and tools that have made a remarkable difference in my relationships, my confidence and my overall feeling of fulfillment at work.
Julie was masterful in the way she worked with me, using the Proscan assessment, my reactions and her experience. I started as a “doubter,” but soon learned that she was the real thing – she had all the right skills and she was giving everything to coach me to my own success.
I would recommend Julie’s extraordinary services to business professionals who want to do great work, make a difference and be fulfilled in their work.

Julie became my personal coach after I found myself without a job. I no longer had a clear vision of what I wanted in my life, lacked self-confidence, and was paralyzed with negative thinking. Our thoughts are powerful and it is important to learn how to channel them. What we think about expands. During our first coaching session, Julie administered a tool called the PDP ProScan (Professional DynaMetric Programs) to assist me in recognizing my unique strengths and define what is important to me. Together we reviewed my profile. Once I became reaquainted with my strengths and identified the top three things that I value most, I began to gain confidence and became clear on what I wanted. Julie is a Master NLP Practioner and provided me with tools to help me eliminate limiting beliefs and fear. Soon, a dark cloud lifted and I became focused on my mission, vision and exciting new goals

Thanks so much for working with me! Your steady, calming presence, clear insights and gentle coaxing kept me on track and helped me regain my perspective. I now have a better sense of my next steps. Above all, you reminded me of the tools I already have to identify some of my current obstacles, eliminate or transform them and journey onward to reach my goals and dreams. Thank you!
