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.
Since then, Julie has coached and taught hundreds of clients on various topics including career transition, entrepreneurship, and building a home and business when they share a space, just to name a few.
Julie has also become a rather talented resume wordsmith. In this current economy, it's quite necessary to have a top notch resume and be more than prepared for interviews. Julie assists people with just that. See testimonials on LinkedIn.com.
