women's life coach, julie phillips
Sussex,
Choosing a coach is an important decision. You need someone that you trust and
makes you feel safe. A person whose style serves and works for you. This is life
changing, so it’s essential that you feel secure, understood supported and
excited! If you are looking for a coach who is genuinely caring and kind but
will also be brutally honest with you so that you can truly develop and achieve
the life you desire, then read on…. I love what I do! Coaching is the most
potent tool for positive personal change as I have experienced first hand. It
ensures success and makes change stick in the long term. As a coach, I play the
role of mentor, consultant and motivator, but I am not a therapist. The thing I
enjoy most about coaching is that it is always positive and looking forward at
the ‘how’: how you can move on from where you are and make a change? It is
action orientated and concerned with the present and future, and less with the
past. On a personal level, I have always been passionate about helping people
live the life they envisage, both successful and happy. I believe the two are
directly linked. My coaching style offers a balanced combination of challenge
and support with the aim of raising a client’s self-awareness, including the
impact they have on people around them. As a coach, I help individuals and teams
gain clarity, feel empowered and achieve their greatest dreams by helping them
unlock their best potential! Having gone through many life journeys of my own,
and realising that it is only you that is in the driving seat. It has spurred me
on to help other people with their own self-development and to truly live their
best life. I work together to identify personal strengths, areas for
development, and help to eliminate self-doubt and limiting beliefs. In addition
to personal training, I specialise in working with senior management teams in
family businesses, to maximise their strengths, help them meet their potential
and reach both their professional and personal goals. Having previously worked
as an MD, I bring this experience to my coaching practice, supporting clients to
achieve positive changes in their productivity, leadership skills, time
management, motivation, confidence, goal attainment and work/life balance. I
understand the demands of a family business and the pressures faced by owners
and their management teams. I am able to help leaders make the direct link
between personal happiness and business success. Before setting up my coaching
practice, I worked for the past 24 years within successful SME family
businesses. I have been involved in significant turnaround situations;
undergoing change management projects and building a business up from
grassroots. I am experienced in personal development and understand the
challenging pressures of being an entrepreneur. Drawing on my experience as a
leader and a coach, I am able to help leaders and their teams find solutions for
the challenges and opportunities in their working life. Family is core to me and
being a single parent to three wonderful children, ranging from teenage to
twenties am able to counsel on a variety of family issues. I enjoy tackling new
challenges, the next being Base Camp Everest.
