Premier Coaching

About Me

Hi, I'm Julia

I am an executive career transition coach who specialises in assisting high-earning executives to overcome obstacles, align their values with their goals, and achieve holistic success through personalised one-on-one coaching.

My approach is distinctive because it centres on a profound exploration of your core values and strengths. I use the Character Strengths methodology, a scientifically validated tool, designed to leverage individual traits for both personal and professional development.

Unlike many career coaching services that concentrate primarily on action plans and goal-setting, my focus is on understanding the essence of who you are. This understanding allows us to construct a career action plan that is not only effective but also truly reflective of your authentic self.

In doing this, we make sure that your personal characteristics are seamlessly integrated with your professional objectives, leading to a uniquely fulfilling career journey.

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

 – Mark Twain – 

This quote, attributed to the renowned American writer Mark Twain, highlights the significance of discovering our purpose in life. It suggests that true fulfilment comes from understanding our unique talents, passions, and the impact we can make in the world. By finding our “why,” we can lead a more purposeful and meaningful existence, driven by a sense of direction and fulfilment.

My Journey

Embarking on my career coaching journey was a natural progression after spending 27 years in various customer-facing IT roles within the aviation industry. During my tenure, I had the opportunity to mentor a colleague, guiding them toward gaining admission to Oxford University and successfully completing an MBA. This experience sparked a realisation of my passion for supporting others in achieving their goals.

When a voluntary redundancy opportunity arose, I made the bold decision to leave the corporate industry behind and explore alternative customer-facing roles. It was during this time that a friend introduced me to a coaching seminar, which immediately caught my attention due to its alignment with my strong interpersonal skills and previous mentoring success. Intrigued by the world of coaching, I delved deeper into the qualifications required and engaged in numerous conversations.

Ultimately, I committed to an intensive 18-month full-time accreditation program immersing myself in the learning process. The culmination of my hard work, dedication, and continuous growth resulted in obtaining my accreditation in the coaching industry, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Since then, I have built a robust network of like-minded friends, colleagues, and clients, and launched my own Premier-Coaching business, where I continue to empower individuals to achieve their aspirations.

Are you ready to take the Next Step?
