play to your strengths
15.09.17 You will excel only by maximising your strengths, never by fixing your weaknesses. You don't have to stick your head in the sand about what may need improving, but the point is not to FOCUS on it. Weakness fixing is damage control not development. Damage control can prevent failure, but it will never elevate you to excellence. Strengths work is often a foreign concept for a lot... Read More »
the expectation blame-game
30.08.17 Birthdays have a similar effect on me as New Years Eve. For me, they are these huge "time" reminders telling me that I'm another year older. My mind automatically goes into stocktake mode and wants to review and assess where I've been, where I am now and where I want to go. I am just coming off the back of my 34th Birthday (I actually forgot how old I was turning this year!), and it's... Read More »
can gratitude and desire co-exist?
17.08.17 Is it possible to have gratitude for what you have right now, while still wanting more? This was the topic of conversation in my business mastermind group this morning, and it sparked a hell of an interesting conversation! Does practicing gratitude for what you have, automatically lessen your desire for change, for goal attainment, for achievement in your life? In my eyes it doesn't, and... Read More »
climbing the corporate ladder?
04.08.17 Many of my clients come to me for the exact same reason - increasing their fulfilment at work. They want to find work that excites them, that gives them meaning, that feels GOOD - yet they aren't quite sure on what that looks like exactly. What are they passionate about? What are their biggest strengths? What unique skills, attributes and talents do they hold? What kind of lifestyle do... Read More »
crafting a life you want to come home to
26.07.17 I had such a great realisation last week. You see, most times when I'm away exploring the world, I never want to come back home. I want to keep going to the next place, the next sight, the next experience. The allure of endless travel always had such a strong pull, one that up until now I always felt sad to leave behind. But not this time. I was actually really excited to come home! This... Read More »
the path to passion is winding
05.06.17 The road to discovering your passion is never a straight one. There are pot holes, winding bends, sharp corners, delays and even u-turns. Winding up living on purpose, expressing your passions and loving the sh*t out of what you do is no accident. It is rooted in self discovery and personal development. If you're like most people, it takes dedication, work and sometimes what might feel... Read More »
be the lotus
18.05.17 I'll be real, I've been in a period of intense flatness these past few weeks. Feeling low in mood, un-motivated and quite down. I just haven't felt like myself. It's interesting that my first reaction to this was to push these feelings away, to move through them as quickly as possible so that I could get back to my "good ol self" (yeah, it doesn't work). I've been trying so hard to... Read More »
let that sh*t go
12.05.17 Autumn is a period of huge release and transformation. Not just externally out in mother nature, but also deep within us. It triggers us, challenges us, and sometime's causes a sh*t storm. . . who else is feeling that right now? I for one have been on an emotional rollercoaster, questioning so many things in my life and my work. It's been a period of deep reflection, asking myself what fits... Read More »
you are not required to hustle
13.04.17 Taking a sick day is pretty unheard of when you run your own business. But when your body is screaming at you to stop, sometimes that's all you can do. Yesterday I awoke at 2am to nausea and then got to know my bathroom sink very intimately, then my stomach continued to cramp and bloat for the next 24 hours causing me stabbing pain. I'm still not right, but I'm feeling a hell-of-a-lot... Read More »
you achieved your vision, now what?
06.04.17 Lately I've been dealing with a whole new kind of problem. And it's a pretty darn good problem to have. This problem I'm talking about occurs when you look around and realise that most of what you envisaged for your life has actually come into fruition. It's a realisation that crept up very slowly on me, then took my breath away. Slowly but surely I have finally achieved all the goals I... Read More »

“This was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The coaching came during a challenging period and helped me to look beyond my current circumstances, redefine my sense of who I am and envision what I wanted in my future.  Julia helped me to identify and define my values which now guide all my decisions. I discovered my strengths and unique gifts that I have to contribute. Reclaiming these qualities gave me the opportunity to see myself in a completely different, more confident and self assured light.  I would highly recommend coaching with Julia. She is the best listener, life cheerleader and guide I’ve experienced.”

“Julia’s Workshop really allowed our students to define their values and understand their own strengths and passions. Her confidence and self-belief enabled our students to gain direction and to set tangible goals for their futures. Even the staff are getting excited about leading a more meaningful and balanced life. The whole experience was fantastic and will definitely leave lasting change in our lives. PCW Melbourne is so grateful for all your work. We can’t wait to work with you again soon.”
