I will challenge and support you. I will guide you as we identify your goal(s) and/or the areas you'd like to focus on. I'll ask you powerful questions to help you see other possibilities. I'll help you uncover blind spots. To accomplish the changes you're looking for, I'll help you look at your behavior, mindset and beliefs. As your coach, I will be there to support, encourage, and challenge you throughout this process. 

what can i expect working with julie as my life coach?

It's hard to generalize, but a common theme is "I thought I'd be happier in my life by now." I also hear "I have everything I wanted, so I don't know why I don't feel more fulfilled." Another common sentiment is "Is this all there is?" What clients are surprised and thrilled to learn is that it is often not any change that needs to take place, but techniques to help shift perspective. With strategies and exercises, I help clients change their thought and therefore have a completely different perspective on their life. 

What's the most common thing a client says in their early sessions?

The truth is, anyone can find huge benefits in working with a life coach. Having a supportive person in your corner who's challenging you to reach your goals would benefit all of us! Commonly my clients are striving for a goal, overcoming a challenge, having a yearning for "more" from their life, or feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward or a desire for stronger relationships. 

who needs a life coach?

These are both one on one coaching, but the 1:1 coaching refers to when I use techniques, strategies and various coaching tools to help clients overcome challenges, reach goals and create a plan for growth or improvement for them in their life. Fulfillment coaching is similar in terms of the coaching, but is more educational as I work with the client as a team to help her reach for more joy, peace, motivation, fulfillment in her life. These coaching methodologies are interchangeable within coaching sessions. 

what's the diFFERENCE BETWEEN 1:1 COACHING AND FULFILLMENT COACHING?

I like to describe working with me as when you're driving a car - there's a big windshield for looking forward and just a small rearview mirror for peeking back. We spend the majority of our time forward-thinking and reaching for more. I see you for not only who you are, but who you are becoming, and am totally dedicated to help you get there. 

what's the difference between life coaching and therapy?

No. I have many clients that may not be able to specifically identify what they want, but they know they want MORE in their life...more joy, more contentment, more motivation, more fulfillment. We usually uncover what they need as we begin coaching. Other clients prefer to be given topics to discuss and then use these to grow and improve these areas of their life..

do i have to know exactly what i want to work on?

I live in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia, but all of my coaching is done over the phone or through zoom for webinars. This way I'm able to serve clients from all over. 

where are you located?

Speaking with a trained life coach provides a completely different experience than speaking with a friend. Friends have pre-conceived notions about your accomplishments, your past behavior or beliefs, When you're trying to step out of your comfort zone, an objective professional life coach is non-judgemental and confidential. As a trained, certified coach, I use a unique combination of strategies, tools and exercises to help you reach your desired outcome. Much like using a trainer to get into shape and be held accountable, working with a coach provides guidance, accountability and education. A coach sees you for not only who you are, but who you are becoming, and is totally dedicated to help you get there. 

how is working with a life coach different from speaking with a friend?
