Coaching is 100% confidential and 100% personalized to each client's needs. Coaching is different from consulting, therapy and counseling. As a coach, Julie works with clients where they are today and supports them in all aspects of their lives to shine as the leaders they are. She works through a combination of powerful questions, visualizations, perspective work, and other tools to support the client in achieving his or her goals.
