What people are saying about  me

Strategy and Planning

"Jules really helped us to develop a better understanding of where our business needs to develop which is enabling us to build a strong long-term business plan.  Her professionalism and approachable style ensured we stayed focussed on what we needed to achieve and helped us to overcome some barriers within the team."

J, Company Director, Lincoln

Coaching and Mentoring

 
"Julie worked with me whilst I had some very important decisions to make in terms of my family life and career. She was flexible and able to meet me locally, and would adapt meetings around my shift pattern. She talked things through with me in a way that made me see the positives and negatives of each option. This made things a lot clearer and ultimately enabled me to plan a career pathway which worked around my family. I would highly recommend her services to anyone and I am grateful for all the help and assistance she has given me."

K, Blue light Worker, Sleaford

Collaboration

 
"As a direct result of Julie’s mentoring and strategic development skills I was able to expand my relationship with (public sector body) by developing a collaborative partnership teaching and learning module.  This had reciprocal benefits for both institutions by merging academic and professional practice. This collaborative work with Julie really did have an impact on enhancing professional practice and collaborative enterprise work for a number of years.

Part of the continued development required Julie to facilitate but also to ensure that there was ‘buy in’ for the development of this new undergraduate module. In this role it was Julie’s competency and skill set in organising and supporting the partnership which allowed this module to be taught over three different academic years.  Julie evidenced her skills by being a partner in the design and development of this module, working as a mediator, collaborator and problem solver."
