Executive Coaching

Hear yourself in a new way.

Executive coaching for for-profit and non-profit leaders examining the decisions, relationships and questions that shape their organizations.

The more responsibility you carry, the fewer places you have to think completely out loud.

Not because you're alone. Because the people around you are part of what you're leading.

Your senior team, board, colleagues and other trusted people can be invaluable sources of perspective. They also have relationships to the questions you're carrying and the decisions you'll make.

Executive coaching creates a different kind of partnership. A place to examine the whole question with someone who has no stake in the answer, but knows how to challenge the thinking behind it.

Sometimes what changes a decision isn't another opinion. It's a question you haven't considered yet.

Every session is designed to help you hear something new in your own words.

THE REAL WORK

Bring the decision, relationship, conflict or question that matters now.

WHAT’S UNDERNEATH

Julia listens for assumptions, beliefs and patterns, then asks the question that changes how you see them.

WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE

Leave seeing something you couldn't see when you arrived.

Why Julia

A good question depends on knowing where to listen.

Julia spent 17 years leading and growing an organization and has worked alongside CEOs, senior teams and boards across sectors since 2014.

She knows organizations from the inside: leadership, governance, power, conflict, accountability, strategy and the decisions that shape them.

That means less time getting her up to speed and more time examining what's actually happening.

She knows organizations well enough to know where to listen. And coaching well enough to know what to ask.

“I always look forward to our coaching calls. Julia’s expert questions make me think in a new way, every time.”

Working Together

The work begins with what you are navigating now.

THE ENGAGEMENT

60-minute sessions
2 to 4 times per month

LOCATION

Virtual and/or in person

Coaching may be engaged directly by an individual leader or sponsored by an organization. When coaching is organization-sponsored, the parameters of confidentiality and communication are established clearly at the outset.

What could the right question do for you?

You don't need to know exactly what you're looking for from coaching before we talk. The first conversation is complimentary and simply a chance to see whether working together makes sense.
