Julia
Julia’s key skill-set is in enabling people to perform at their best in all aspects of their lives. Having
begun her career in education, she has spent over thirty years coaching and mentoring in the field of
professional development, working with individuals and organisations in education and industry. Her
research in this field has continued throughout her career. She followed a post-graduate Diploma in
Psychology and was funded to pursue a PhD in the 1990’s in the fledgling field of coaching and
mentoring. In recent years, she has undertaken a range of additional courses, including the
University of Pennsylvania’s programme in Positive Psychology and Resilience. Having trained as a
Graydin Associate to further her experience in values-based coaching, she then completed a Masters

coaching and culture change, as well as developing her own private practice.
