Client Testimonials

Anna K., Google to healthtech

Choosing to work with Julia was one of the most impactful decisions I made in 2022! Julia is such a unique combination of analytical, empathetic, and strategic, and I'd be so excited to partner with her again.

Thanks to her, I had the toolkit and the courage to go after a big career change (big tech -> healthcare startup) and big life change (San Francisco -> Chicago). Our sessions were well-structured, with clear objectives, and I left every single one with a laundry list of "a-ha!" moments.

I am now working in a role I love at a company that not only values my contributions, but also encourages my growth and I couldn’t be happier.

I 100% recommend working with Julia to learn skills that you can use for the rest of your life! Working with Julia was exactly what I needed to make a career change, as well as a life change. Our sessions were the perfect mix of practical career advancement exercises and personal growth assessments, which allowed me to gain clarity on who I am, both personally and professionally.

Before I started working with Julia I was struggling to figure out what I was seeking in both my paid and personal life. After we began working together, Julia helped me gain clarity on my values, which led to broader conversations allowing me to create goals that align to who I am as an individual. During our first meeting, Julia not only helped me understand more about myself, she provided me structure on how I can begin to improve my work-life relationship starting that day. Working with Julia is the best investment I have ever made in myself.

You’re getting a two for one with Julia. On the one hand, you get an understanding of coaching and the frameworks she uses to help you improve. (This might be helpful to people managers, specifically). On the other hand, you get a coach! Someone who helps you self actualize in an often chaotic high growth business environment.

~Senior Director, Unicorn Startup

The reason I sought out a coach was because - although I was working a great job that many people would love to have, was in good financial standing, and had enough time to pursue things that I wanted on the side- I was not happy with what I was doing. Objectively all of the things I mentioned were goals that I and many people strove for, but I was missing the essential sense of purpose and control in my life. I started working with Julia because I had many, many ideas in the past and never seemed to get past the idea stage. I was skeptical about the impact a coach would have but decided to give it a shot.

I came to Julia with an idea that I wanted to pursue, and now, 12 weeks later, I have not only developed the concept into something tangible, but have investors interested in seeing my progress. She helped me differentiate between real blockers to success/progress and things that could be worked around. Working on my own idea has been so fulfilling. The long hours I spend working on it don’t feel like work. It feels amazing to get to a point of manifesting what I want.

I didn’t expect that working with Julia for career growth would also result in some personal/spiritual growth as well. I can’t recommend her enough and I am excited to keep working with her.

~D.M., Accenture

I reached out to Julia out of a moment of despair that was brought on by starting a new job within my existing firm, living through a first ever pandemic and truly questioning whether I was on the right track in my career and life. I didn't know that eight weeks later I would end our last session feeling confident that where I am today does align with the journey of where I want to go, empowered to prioritize what benefits me, and awakened by a new understanding of the core values that drive me. Julia has an innate ability to help you discover what really matters to you in a way that feels like your are speaking to a close confidante which makes the experience so effortless. The result is powerful because the more you understand what drives you, what you have a passion for, and what makes you happy...the more you get out of life and that is what I now have. I would definitely recommend Julia if you need someone to help recalibrate where you are today and help you affirm to yourself the direction you should be moving towards in the future. Thanks Julia for everything - look forward to continuing to have you as my confidante/advisor for years to come!

~ Executive Director, Financial Services

I worked with Julia in the first part of 2021. And I am writing this in October 2021. The distance between the time we worked together and today, has allowed me to see how impactful her work still is. As an entrepreneur, I learned concepts that still help me map out the path of my company, and how that path overlaps with my professional and personal life. I highly recommend Julia to other CEOs, founders who are looking for a framework on professional and personal roadmapping to find balance in their lives. 

~ Founder & CEO, Healthcare Startup

I’m so happy I decided to work with Julia. She helped me uncover the real source of my stress deep down which allowed me to gain insights into why I do what I do and how I can shift my perspective in a more helpful direction. By realizing how my thoughts and beliefs shape my life and my approach to my work - in both positive and negative ways - it allowed me to make some much-needed changes that I don’t think I ever could have made all on my own!

~ Natalie W.

I started working with Julia when I wanted to leave my consulting job but I didn’t know where to begin, what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to apply. Julia helped me figure all of this out; I successfully left my job after only 3 months of working together, found a job that I really love and the career that I never knew I actually wanted.

Working with Julia has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

~ R. A., former-BCG, financial services

Julia gave me a strong backbone, and is a person that pushed me and strengthened me and allowed me to question and gave me a different perspective. I leave my sessions completely energized and ready to do whatever it is that I needed to do… I can’t recommend her enough.

~ Latifa

When I first decided to resign from my job and switch career paths, I was incredibly lost. A friend of mine took notice, and very luckily referred me to Julia and I’ve had the great fortune to work with her for the past two months. Despite my initial skepticism vis-a-vis coaching, my experience with Julia showed me how I could really optimize and get the most out of this huge transitional period - the learnings of which actually shaped many other parts of my life beyond my professional trajectory.

With Julia, I went from being clueless on my next steps to having wrapped up final interviews with two of my dream companies - something I don’t think I could have done without her. Not only did working with Julia change the trajectory of my life, but our work together has made me a more confident, stronger, and empowered person. Whether you’re looking to change jobs/careers, start your own business, better understand yourself/your values/your future, or just shake up your life, Julia is your woman.

~ Melanie S., former BCG

You helped me organize and realize my values in a way that has helped me evaluate roles and opportunities with a clearer mind and understanding of what I truly want. You taught me to keep returning to that which truly lights me up and to not settle for anything less. I feel much less overwhelmed around career pivots and instead empowered to make them as I see fit thanks to you!

~ Senior Account Manager

Before I began working with Julia, there was a tremendous lack of balance between my life and my career. I had a very difficult time finding perspective, setting boundaries and sticking to them and this was affecting my daily happiness, sense of freedom and ability to achieve personal goals. Having been at the same company for nearly a decade, I was experiencing a new level of burnout and a lack of drive in my work but was also finding it extremely difficult to envision what would be next for me or even what I really wanted.

Working with Julia one on one was hugely helpful - she offered valuable perspective and posed questions that made me think of things in new ways, ultimately shifting my perspective. In our work together, I solidified the values that are most important to me but also where my core strengths lay in order to explore that intersection and map toward new opportunities that will afford me the balance I’m looking for.

I would highly recommend Julia as coach for so many reasons. Her approach always made me feel supported, yet she challenged me to examine ideas that I wouldn’t necessarily have on my own. After working together, I feel so much more confident in my approach in all areas of my life and in the steps I need to take in order to advance to my next career opportunity.
