Michael Elliot, Finance and Administration Manager, DeBortoli Wines Pty Ltd, Yarra Valley

Excellent, very thought provoking. I received really useful suggestions that have given me confidence to try stepping outside my comfort zone.

DMO Leadership program participants coaching feedback

Thanks to your very attractive, listening and upbeat style. Well presented, interesting, engaging and informative.

Melbourne Water Leadership Program Facilitation feedback

Many thanks for your time and effort in helping me through the graduate program. I have taken many valuable learning’s away from the course and discussions with you and have found your approach particularly effective and beneficial to me. Once again, thank you. I would like to thank you personally for listening to the issues that I have faced over the last few months and also sharing your own knowledge and experiences with me on how to tackle certain problems when they arise. It definitely has helped me progress to the stage in my career where I find myself today. Once again thank you.

BHP Billiton Global Graduate Leadership Program

During this process I found Julie an enormous help due to her skill to encourage you to talk about what you don't understand. Julie will draw you out with her facilitating skills and you find yourself resolving your own problems. A short time after I received a substantial promotion and with Julie's coaching and mentoring skills I was able to prepare myself for the new role.

Julie Edwards has been working with the senior team at SportingPulse to improve communication and to focus the team so that company goals are achieved. Julie has been a catalyst to changing the way that people think and operate at SportingPulse. Julie has also helped me to personally focus and find clarity on taking SportingPulse to the next level, that of the international playing field.

Nick Maywald, CEO, SportingPulse

I am happier, confident and settled, and the business is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. This is in no small part thanks to Julie’s coaching and assistance. Her highly professional approach, credibility and experience are features of her service. Julie takes the time to draw out the important issue and then helps me decide on the best course of action. Best of all, she holds me accountable to what actions I have decided upon. Oh, and she is also a great “third party” sounding board for venting, offloading and pontificating!

Shannon Cooper, Managing Director, Kennard’s Lift and Shift, Victoria

Ever tried to change a work habit? Procrastinating, getting to meetings late, never having enough time to get everything you promised done in a day, working late to make sure it gets done on time, getting staff to work the way you’d like them to or doing too much of the work yourself, letting the paperwork pile up, forever getting interrupted, having to deal with staff attitude problems... I’ve improved the way I work, but my team members have also improved the way they work. That was a big unexpected bonus.”

Mike Morris Executive Director, Civil Contractors Federation

Julie has a keen understanding of the issues faced by those charged with leading the growth and development of their organisation. She spends time understanding the strengths and weaknesses that each of us exhibit and challenges her subjects to step out of their comfort zone in order to work on their weaknesses with the intent of producing better outcomes within their business. Julie has a personable and non - judgemental approach and is readily available to discuss strategy around upcoming events or just day to day issues in managing personnel within the organisation. I would recommend Julie in the role of personal coach or facilitator of a larger group.

Jeff Gallus, General Manager – Southern Region, BMD Constructions Pty Ltd

I have to say that both the program and Julie's preparedness to work the "Good, Bad and Ugly" has been of enormous benefit. She is always available for both formal and informal interactions and at all times has been open and honest with me. The fact that Julie was prepared to personally interview people I have daily interaction with, rather than rely simply on computer models, has been probably the most creative engagement I have experienced.

Wayne Thomason, Executive General Manager, Suncorp
