The Storymakers came as expected and adapted to a difficult scenario not to mention having to deal with 20 teenagers. Everyone loved the photos and design. A great team to work with.

I was in a point in my life where I was looking at a change in careers; a career that gave greater fulfilment, purpose and meaning. After 25 years in the same profession, I didn't know if that was possible or knew how to even begin. I met Julie and she introduced what career coaching was about. I signed up for her Job Search Strategy coaching for a few months. She provided effective job search resources in the high tech world we live in. Where I found the most value in the coaching was completing the self assessment workbook and the coaching sessions where we discussed my values, my skills and changes I needed to make at my end. The sessions helped discover strengths about myself, courage to make decisions, and courage to have conversations to create a better work environment for myself and the people I work with and work for. I understood my value and thus the value I could bring to my career. This was possible through Julie's coaching program.

I had a coaching session with Julie, and it was an incredible experience. She provided me with valuable advice, a fresh perspective, and honest insights that helped me gain clarity in my professional development. As an early-career Cybersecurity Analyst, her guidance has been essential in helping me focus on achieving my goals. Julie's approach is both supportive and motivating, and I truly appreciate her dedication to helping me succeed. Highly recommended!

Julie is truly exceptional. Working with her was one of the best decisions Ive made for my professional growth. From our very first conversation, it was clear she genuinely cares about helping people reach their potential.What sets Julie apart is her ability to really listen. She doesnt just offer generic adviceshe takes the time to understand your goals, challenges, and unique strengths. Julie has this amazing knack for asking the right questions, the kind that make you think deeper about what you want and how you can get there.Thanks to Julie, I not only landed a role that Im excited about, but I also feel much more confident in how I approach opportunities. Shes not just someone who helps with your careershes someone who helps you believe in yourself.
