Welcome to The Julia Matheson Blog:
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 »
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 »
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 »
what’s your dream job?
29.09.16 What's your dream job? What would you be happy to do for FREE? Well, your dream job is that thing. But the best big? You get paid handsomely for it. You're probably thinking it's too good to be true, that having your dream job doesn't exist in the real world. But look around you, there are countless people doing jobs they absolutely LOVE, and getting paid really really well for it.... Read More »
back to black
25.07.15 I just got home from watching the Amy Winehouse Documentary tonight. I haven't been this moved by a documentary in a long time. An incredibly inspiring, and heart-breaking story of her rise and sudden tragic fall. I'm still trying to process it all . . .  I guess that's the reason why I am writing. My face is still wet with tears. This review from Vanity fair sums it up succinctly:... Read More »
authentic purpose
16.05.14 Why am I here? I have done a lot of thinking, refining, meditating, and brainstorming on this question over the years. All of which has led me here, to Love Your Life. Your life purpose is not generally something that can be worked out quickly - or is it? If you cant figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you straight to your purpose. - T.D.Jakes... Read More »
urban warrior
20.02.14 There's been much in the movies about female warriors. Women with bows, arrows and bravery. And thank god, it's a refreshing change from the typical damsel in distress characters we usually see. But what about off the silver screen in our everyday lives? How do we show courage and bravery in a world filled with such anxiety, fear and worry? We are human beings terrified of each other - what... Read More »
5 crucial conversation tools
05.02.14 Isn't it ironic that the most important conversations we have, are often the ones we totally screw up?! When the stakes are high, our ability to communicate decreases. Think about it, our emotions run high when it's a person, or a topic close to our hearts. Be it a difficult conversation with your best friend, a lover's quarrel with your partner, workplace tension, or voicing your opinion... Read More »
stop selling yourself short
10.01.14 I was very surprised when one of my clients told me today "You should charge people more". Have you ever had a paying customer tell you they want to pay more for your services? Wow talk about truth bomb. I love the honesty and realness about that conversation. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Why do we sell ourselves short?... Read More »
power from passion
01.07.13 I am high on life. It sounds corny I know, but it's true. I feel alive. My heart feels bigger and is brimming with gratitude. All because I truly LOVE what I do. I have just finished a group vision and goal coaching session. This is one of my biggest passions, and when expressed, a... Read More »

“Coaching with Julia has given me the courage to dig deep and ask myself the big questions; what do I want from my life? and, how do I want to live? Julia has helped me explore, and realise with clarity, not only what I want, but also the person I want to be. Through her constant support, insight, guidance and practical tools, I have identified the values I want to live my life by. I’ve also learnt how to manage the fear that can get in the way of achieving my dreams.
Meeting Julia came at the perfect time in my life. Her belief, positivity, passion and care has helped me grow and gain clarity as a person.”

Claire Martin

“Working with Julia was the best decision I’ve made for myself. She helped broaden my horizons, get out of my own way and really focus on what is of true importance to me. With Julia’s support and guidance, I learnt how to express myself and embrace who I am with pride. Not only did I gain confidence and clarity, I felt supported to take action on my goals and within six months I began living my dream life! Julia’s positive energy, warm presence and incredible insights made her a delight to work with and I’ll be forever grateful that our paths crossed.”
