What’s the secret sauce for turning culture chaos into best places to work?

Turnover’s high. You’ve grown so fast as a company that you can’t keep up with the communication issues. With all these different and new personalities at work, you’re running into personality clashes and no real easy way to fix them – even amidst having goals and deadlines to meet for the company. Wouldn’t it be great to magically assess everyone’s work styles and have everyone speaking the same language so we could all understand each other? Wouldn’t it be phenomenal, to the bottom line and the team, to figure out how to turn this culture around? It sure would. And we know just how to do it.

“Julia is a fantastic coach!

During our six-month journey, Julia coached me through some rather interesting times. Despite me being a retired and stubborn Army Colonel, Julia found a way to work with me and make me a better leader.

What I admired most about Julia’s style of coaching is that she listened! Moreover, she incorporated empathy and goal-oriented feedback into her approach.

Julia is not only a sophisticated coach, but she is also a leader! Julia would have made an excellent Army officer.”

“I was a bit skeptical about having an Executive Coach, but it ended up being one of the most beneficial programs I’ve had in my time here. I have not only appreciated the positive reinforcement, but it has also been useful to have you challenge my perspective on situations. My job shifted quite a bit during our time together but you were always accommodating. Thank you for this experience. I appreciate everything you have done!”

“We cannot say enough about the exceptional experience we had working with JW Strategies and Julia's guidance in crafting our next 3-year Strategic Plan for the Common Good Medical. Julia's professionalism and leadership skills were outstanding throughout the entire process, and it's clear that she brings a wealth of expertise to the table.

One of Julia's standout qualities was her impeccable time management. She ensured that our planning session was efficient and productive, allowing us to make the most of our limited time. This was crucial as we had a lot to accomplish within a relatively short timeframe.

Julia's ability to take numerous, sometimes divergent ideas from our board members and consolidate them into precise, cohesive goals and objectives was truly remarkable. She had a knack for distilling the essence of our organization's mission and vision, ensuring that every aspect of our plan aligned with our core values and strategic direction.

Working with JW Strategies and having Julia at the helm of our strategic planning process was a blessing for the Common Good Medical. Her dedication to our mission and her expertise in strategic planning made the entire experience not only productive, but also enjoyable. We couldn't be more thrilled with the results, and we are confident that our organization is now better equipped to make a positive impact on our community for years to come. Thank you, Julia, for your exceptional guidance and support!”

“Coaching from Julia was a game-changer!

During our year-long engagement, she was the beacon in the fog for me, guiding me through a storm of burnout, silencing the imposter syndrome whispers, and cranking up my productivity to levels I didn't know I had in me. Her magic? She’s got these killer frameworks that make delegation seem like a walk in the park. It’s like she handed me a roadmap when I was used to wandering in the wilderness. Suddenly, I could see which tasks were mine to own and which ones I could pass on, making my team stronger and me a whole lot saner. But it wasn’t just about the work. Julia knew where her coaching ended and where therapy should pick up, especially when it came to battling those gnarly imposter syndrome vibes. She was clear about her role, helping me set boundaries that were crucial for my growth. It was refreshing to have someone so skilled navigate these waters with such care.

Her approach is all about empowerment, making sure you’re armed to the teeth with the right tools to tackle your challenges head-on. She’s been there, in the trenches, and knows exactly what it takes to come out on top. If you’re feeling stuck, or maybe even a bit lost, Julia is the lighthouse you’ve been searching for. For anyone on the lookout for a coach who will genuinely invest in your journey, help you cut through the noise, and elevate your game - Julia is your go-to. She’s been a pivotal part of my story this year, and I can’t rave about her enough. If your path ever crosses with hers, consider yourself lucky.”
