Why work with Julie?

I help individual leaders and leadership teams to build self-awareness, identify ways to increase their leadership effectiveness, and experiment with new behaviours that will build their leadership capacity and capability.

I am an experienced senior coach with a commitment to excellence.

Expertise is a combination of experience, education, and qualifications.

Experience: I have spent the past decade coaching established and emerging leaders, and developing leadership groups and teams. 
Education: I completed formal coach training through the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL), where I am now a Senior Faculty member delivering ICF accredited coach training and coaching supervision training. I studied Coaching Supervision at Oxford Brookes University in the UK.
Qualifications: I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation (certified since 2015). I am also one of a very small number of coaches in Australia credentialed with the Association for Coaching (AC) as a Professional Executive Coach.

I am an experienced manager and senior leader.

Having spent 25 years working in the higher education sector as a manager and senior leader, I have a deep understanding of the challenges facing leaders at all levels. I resigned from a senior leadership role with UNSW in 2014 to pursue a full-time career in coaching and leadership development.

I used evidence-based approaches.

I believe in continuous learning and development (drawing on contemporary research in psychology, management, and adult development). As a coach and as a facilitator, I want to ensure the time we spend together is meaningful and engaging, and that what you take away is motivating and realistic to implement.

There are documented outcomes from working with me.

The outcomes of working with me are clear. The best way to assess my impact as a coach is through reading written testimonials from coaching clients, and as a facilitator I frequently score 5/5 on evaluations and receive positive written feedback from the people I work with.

Leadership Experience

Before becoming a coach enjoyed a highly successful 25-year career in higher education. I led teams of varying sizes and held executive roles, managing complex functional areas such as student administration and academic facilities.

My career in university management provided me with extensive experience in resolution of strategic and operational issues, and coordination of projects and initiatives demanding high levels of confidentiality and multiple stakeholder engagement.

  • I worked at the University of NSW (Canberra Campus) for 11 years between 2004-2014. That Canberra Campus is located at the Australian Defence Force Academy and during this period I worked closely with uniformed and civilian Defence staff across all three services. 
  • I worked at the University of Queensland for 10 years between 1996-2003.
  • I worked at the University of Newcastle for 5 years between 1990-1995.
  • I worked for NSW TAFE in 1989.

Other Qualifications

I love learning, but I left school in Year 10 and did everything the hard way…

  • After completing a Traineeship in Office Administration through NSW TAFE in 1989, I kept going and completed a Diploma in Human Resource Management through. This is what gave me Year 12 equivalence and entry to a university degree.
  • After 6 years of part-time study I graduated from a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (University of Queensland).
  • As if that wasn’t enough part-time study, I then enrolled in a Master of Business Administration (Executive) and completed this 4 years later (University of Queensland).
  • A year later I was lucky enough to be nominated for the Senior Management Development Program at Mount Eliza Business School.
  • I completed a Certificate in Positive Psychology online through the University of Pennsylvania.
