Life Coaching, Events, and Resources

I’ve spent 25 years leading marketing, brand, and customer experience for companies like Nike, Target, Starbucks, Chase, and Best Buy. I help people and teams grow through complexity and change. My work has always centered on the human side of performance: what drives motivation, clarity, and sustainable success. Along the way, I’ve coached leaders navigating burnout, career transitions, and high-stakes growth moments. I believe our ability to thrive means being authentic to who we are. I’m an out executive, a husband, and an adoptive father who’s learned firsthand how to balance ambition with real life. I know what it’s like to feel pulled in every direction, unsure how to slow down without losing progress. My mix of corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and life experience allows me to help clients find clarity, realign with purpose, and create a life that works as well as they do.

I spent nearly a decade as a Strategy & Consulting Manager at Accenture, leading transformation work across public service, nonprofit, and corporate sectors — including coaching over 50 innovation teams globally to turn concepts into real-world impact. My background spans organizational psychology, strategic change management, and an MBA, alongside certifications in Positive Intelligence coaching and Dare to Lead. I work with people who are in the middle of becoming something new — navigating a transition, building something from scratch, or sensing a gap between who they've been and who they're growing into. I'm also a poet and writer, which means I listen differently: for what's underneath the words, and for the language that's been hard to find. I'd love to connect and hear your story.

As a Certified Empowerment & Motivational Professional (CEMP), I help individuals gain clarity, build confidence, and take purposeful action toward the life and career they truly want. Through my training with PARWCC and mentorship under Jay Block—one of the nation's leading motivational experts—I’ve developed proven strategies to help clients manage stress, reframe limiting beliefs, and ignite sustainable motivation. Whether you're feeling stuck, navigating a career change, or working through self-doubt, I guide you in turning mindset shifts into measurable progress. What makes my approach unique is the blend of empowerment coaching with real-world, goal-oriented strategies. I don’t just inspire — I help you unlock clarity, emotional strength, and confidence to act, even when the path forward feels overwhelming. If you're ready to reconnect with your goals and build momentum in your personal or professional life, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Life is full of transitions: big and small. Some we choose, and some choose us. A new job. Moving to a different city or country. Becoming a parent. Ending a relationship. Loosing someone close to you. Picking up a hobby that lights you up again. Becoming ill. Every situation carries both opportunity and uncertainty and while it’s easy to see these moments as challenges to "get through", they are actually invitations to grow, to realign, and to step into a new version of ourselves. I know this not just from working in high-pressure environments like consulting, but from navigating my own personal and professional transitions and seeing how powerful these moments can be when approached with the right mindset. I moved to different countries without a job offer, stepping into uncertainty to build a life more aligned with my aspirations. I shifted from focusing solely on business success and advancing my career to becoming a certified coach and meditation teacher-in-training: a path that brought far greater meaning, balance, and purpose into my life, and that now enhances everything I do in business as well. Today, I coach professionals and entrepreneurs to embrace life transitions as opportunities for transformation, not just hurdles to survive. We work together to build clarity, resilience, and self-awareness, turning periods of change into launchpads for a more authentic, fulfilling life. Through a combination of strategic coaching, mindfulness practices, and deep personal inquiry, I help you not only move through transitions, but thrive within them, growing stronger, more intentional, and more connected to who you really are at every step. 🚀 How I Can Help You Through Life Transitions: ✔ Help you navigate major life changes with clarity and confidence: whether it’s a career shift, relocation, leadership transition, new parenthood, or the end of a relationship. ✔ Turn periods of uncertainty into powerful opportunities for personal growth and reinvention. ✔ Reconnect you with your core values, strengths, and vision, so you’re not just reacting to change, but actively shaping what comes next. ✔ Build emotional resilience, mindfulness, and self-awareness: the essential skills for navigating life’s inevitable ups and downs with strength and presence. ✔ Create a balanced approach to ambition and well-being, where success doesn’t come at the cost of your happiness or health. ✔ Offer a grounded, judgment-free space where you can reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with purpose. ✔ Support you in designing a life that feels not just successful from the outside, but deeply fulfilling from within.

Hi, I’m Julie — a Leadership & Life Empowerment Coach. The most important (and often hardest) thing to do is lead your own life—especially in times of stress, change, or uncertainty. I work with high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs who are ready to do just that. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, leadership stretch, personal shift, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll get to the root of what’s driving you, what’s getting in your way, and what it will take to move forward. My coaching blends deep exploration with forward-focused action. We’ll examine how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors shape the way you lead, connect, and make decisions—because how you show up in one area is often how you show up everywhere. This isn’t just about hitting goals. It’s about creating real, sustainable change that feels both authentic and fulfilling. With 20+ years as a senior executive and founder, an MBA from Yale, ICF accreditation, and over 350 coaching hours, I bring the perspective, presence, and challenge my clients need to create what’s next—with clarity and conviction.

My path to life coaching runs through the same high-pressure environments my clients are navigating. Two decades across Big Law, energy, higher education, and leadership development gave me a close look at what happens to high-performing people when the stakes rise and self-trust quietly disappears. The pattern is consistent: accomplished, self-aware professionals who have done the work, read the books, built the credentials, and still find themselves overthinking, second-guessing, or overworking instead of leading from a place of clarity. A graduate of Columbia Law School and Harvard University, where I majored in Biology, I am a Certified Life Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Positive Intelligence® trained coach, currently working toward my ICF PCC credentials. The methodologies behind the work draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mental fitness, and my own decision-centered coaching approach. Sessions go beyond strategy. The goal is building the internal capacity to trust your own judgment, particularly in the moments where the outcome actually counts.
