Julie Nelson

Associate Certified Coach - International Coaching Federation

I am dedicated to empowering managers, leaders and women to progress in their careers with a personal and authentic approach. I bring a deep passion to support clients in their personal and professional journey of self-discovery and growth by creating a safe and non-judgemental space where they can explore their passion, goals, challenges and aspirations.

My coaching style is person-centred, holistic and transformational, helping clients to identify their core values, strengths and areas for growth. I encourage clients to set clear and meaningful goals aligned to their aspirations, and with a person-centred approach I adapt my coaching approach, methods and techniques to meet the needs of each client.  

I genuinely enjoy what I do and strongly believe that a personable and authentic approach, along with a smile, can go a long way to creating an open, trusting and successful coaching relationship.
