Julia coached me for approximately 2 months regarding the advancement of my career, and in that short period of time it felt like the relative progress of my employability and overall career focus progressed by 4 years, such is her effectiveness. This is a result of the structured, clear, concise nature of her approach, but also her personal relatability.
Julia is warm, open and non-judgmental, and seems to effortlessly create a relaxed atmosphere in which it is easy to identify strengths and get to heart of any personal deficiencies inhibiting ones career. In a similar manner, Julia is able to delicately suggest ways to mitigate any weaknesses, leverage strengths, and identify passions and values that don’t feel intrusive or forced, almost as if you had thought of them yourself.
Julia is also able to contextualize herself quickly, in order to make the overall process as realistic and relevant as possible. I would highly recommend working with Julia if the opportunity presents itself.
As an MBA student, I had the chance to attend Julia’s online career webinars as well as benefit from 1-to-1 remote coaching support (via skype) over the course of more than a year. Julia supported me in examining and articulating core values in life, recognising my career passions and developing my career management skills. Clarifying my current situation and future career aspirations also allowed me to connect micro-level short-term tasks with long-term goals; and prioritise various tasks effectively. Julia has been great at asking challenging questions and being a ‘neutral’ person with whom I could discuss assumptions and ideas. I highly recommend Julia as a career coach.
Julia was my career coach as part of the accelerated MBA that I studied. Although initially somewhat cynical about career coaching, I was amazed how Julia’s manner and ability to listen made me feel very relaxed in her presence, allowing me to vocalise my thoughts about the past and the possibilities for the future in a very open and honest way that actually shocked me. The result was a realisation that my preconceived plan to return to my previous sector, albeit at a higher level, following the MBA was really not the right way to go. Julia’s feedback and support and helped me realise that my abilities, skills and experience were far more transferable than I had thought. I would most definitely recommend Julia as a coach, particularly in the area of career assessment, planning and development.
