What qualifies Julie to be a Life Coach?
Julie was trained and certified by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) in San Rafael, CA in 2001 and continues her coaching education with course work from CTI, Coachville and other accredited training institutions. Julie is also a member of the International Coach Federation.
Before becoming a coach, Julie graduated from the University of Illinois UC in Rhetoric. After working in various jobs, she returned to school to pursue a teaching degree. To pay for night school, she substitute taught grades K-12 in nine districts, all levels including special education and behavior disorder. Shortly before completing her masters and certification, Julie decided that she may have other callings and she worked in retail wireless sales. She was promoted to supervisor oversaw the addition of two stores and the remodeling of a third. She hired and trained a team of seven members to staff the stores. After two and a half years in sales, Julie went to Arthur Andersen's Professional Education Division in St. Charles, IL where she trained trainers, organized and ran training sessions, and generally amused her co-workers. She was there for 6 years, during which time, using her wild passion for coaching, she convinced the company not only to monetarily support her coaching training in its entirety, but also to allow her to run a pilot of twenty clients firm wide. The pilot was a smashing success, but unfortunately the pilot ended just as the Enron verdict came in and the company disbanded.
