It certainly builds confidence being coached by someone who also knows what it takes to create, lead and manage projects and people.

Julia, you have an innate sense for identifying your client’s mind frame and helping them shift it so they can comfortably focus on the essential.

Thank you.

Workable Solutions

I was transitioning from a role that I had been in for 7 years in my organization to my new (and, at that time, vaguely defined) role in a different department when I started coaching with Julia.

The key focus of our coaching sessions revolved around how to negotiate work relationships with both new and old colleagues, and learning how to manage in my evolving job role(s).

Julia asked probing questions which forced me to review my current situation and reflect upon what it could potentially blossom into in the future. We reviewed my strengths and weaknesses, talked about what areas of my work I enjoy and excel at, and how I could use these items to my advantage in developing my new job role description. It's been interesting and empowering to realize that I could take some control over what my new job role could look like.

Julia has a very pleasing manner which made it easy for me to open up and share my thoughts. She also injects humour into these sessions therefore making it feel more like a free-flowing conversation between colleagues. I appreciate this. In addition, as she is aware of my physical working environment, she is always very respectful of my time and the constraints I may be under when I am speaking with her from my office area (where majority of our sessions occur).

I will continue to work with Julia to help me as it's been a very positive experience for me.

Put my Position into Perspective

Thanks for our 10 minute conversation of "how are things going"

You helped me put my position into perspective. I was able to process what you were telling me in a meaningful way.

This kind of 'guidance' is not something I get much of. It makes me wonder why all my conversations this weekend weren't like that. Perhaps because mostly it is the men in these circles who have and keep this kind of information, and the ways of passing it on do not include me - women? It also makes me realize what a potentially vulnerable situation I am in, trying to do 'consulting' without real guidance or role model. hmmmm

Looking forward to moving myself and my business forward with your help.

Improved My Way of Doing Things

Thanks so much Julia. It was your unique combination of strategic professionalism combined with your holistic approach to mind, body, soul/self that made me confident that I could work with you at this time of my life.

You surpassed my expectations, both in your methodology and your ability to keep me on track and help me separate the wheat from the chaff. Your strategic thinking, holistic approach and unique ability to summarize what I had said and zero in on the essentials supported me through a home renovation project, a review of my business direction and gave me insights into how I operate.

You brought calm and clarity into the intensity of the thought process and helped me get clear on the direction I should take personally and professionally. The coaching process allowed me to identify my values. The insights and tools I learned improved my way of doing things.

New Roots - No Limits

Julia was like my own guiding spirit. She held me accountable to the goals I set myself in a very gentle way. Julia asked me powerful questions, and guided me through an incredible journey towards personal awareness. This new found awareness that I learnt through Julia's coaching has set the roots for me to keep growing, I now know no limits! Julia is a great coach!

Better Results With Less Effort

I now believe that:

• Everything is possible if you really believe in it and systematically work at it.
• It doesn’t happen overnight though

My life is easier now. I don’t beat myself up any more. I have more clients and more projects and I’m not overwhelmed.

Your step by step approach helped me develop the structure I needed to become much more organized and produce better results with less effort. My family is inspired by the improvements they see.

Thank you! Your coaching helped me put everything in its place…

Set Goals, Developed Strategy and Action Plan

Julia, your coaching was beyond my expectations. You helped me set goals, find ways to achieve my goals and view my business more clearly. You helped me see what I wanted to achieve from a crucial business meeting and helped me plan and prepare to get the results I wanted.

You brought your wealth of experience in non-profit organizations, your unique positive outlook, listening skills and insightful perspective to every session. Thank you.

Whether you're a small business owner, an executive or an artist, I highly recommend Julia as someone knowledgeable, personable and dedicated, who will help you to achieve desired results. She inspires people to greatness and brings out the best in individuals on a personal and professional level.

Empowering Experience of Action and Renewal

In three short months I have been able to create and attract activities and situations into my life that bring me joy and aliveness. All of this has surfaced from what had previously been a confused, scattered and frustrated time in my life.

Coincidence? Absolutely not. It's been Julia’s ever present faith in me, and support in my abilities; it’s been her constant nudging and stretching, easing me out of my comfort zone, building an awareness of what it was that was keeping me stuck and living in limitation and lack, and it's been her insightful, intuitive observations and fantastic visualizations and empowerment tools that have catapulted me from a place of fear-based lack to a life of powerful intentions, actions, wisdom and associations.

Julia’s use of structure kept me accountable for my own progress; her perspective and feedback offered me a mirror through which I could see and respond to my transformation, and her gentle, nurturing heart invited me to safely open up, assuring me that my journey was honored at each progressive level.

It's been a gratifying and empowering experience that has brought clarity, action and renewal into my life. Julia, Thank you!

A New Perspective on Life

Dear Julia, I can truly say that having you as a coach was a life-changing experience. It was above and beyond what I had ever anticipated.

There is no doubt, each and every session was a huge learning and enriching experience. Your calm attitude invited me to be very honest and I felt more and more confident about being myself.

Your soothing and chanting tone of voice was the first of many surprises and talents. Trust was quickly established – I felt in good hands. Your powerful questions brought me to a higher level of clarity and I grew a lot from that. You challenged me to actions, then supported me when I needed help. Through relaxation and visualization, I was able to ground myself and focus much better on the issues at hand. Your knowledge of women’s health was a most valuable asset at this particular time in my life.

Thank you Julia for believing in me, in my strengths and potential, for challenging me, for helping me connect permanently with my inner child, for inviting me to be my true self. You have a marvelous gift … that of empowering people. I am very grateful to you for helping me get a new perspective on life and on myself.

Your approach is compassionate, unique and very professional. Thanks a million.

Supportive, Challenging and Fun

Being a client who is blessed with having ADHD (my glass is half full), I was in need of a coach who could provide me with structure and accountability without being bossy or giving me a guilt trip. I needed someone who'd remind me about what my priorities are, when all the other ideas in my head are competing for equal attention. I wanted someone who wouldn't try to limit my accomplishments based on what they consider to be reasonable (like many people have tried to do).

Enter Julia von Flotow! She is the essence of what an outstanding coach should be: genuinely supportive, spontaneous when needed, challenging and FUN!

Being coached by Julia proved to me that I didn't need a higher dosage of medication for my ADHD; I just badly needed several doses of her coaching.

Found Direction and Improved Lifestyle

I'd just started a new business in a new industry after working for almost 20 years in another industry. Such a big shift in career and lifestyle was causing me to feel overwhelmed. As a result I was feeling a sense of "cloudiness" when I started with Julia.

The coaching process helped me create the clarity needed to recognize my accomplishments to date as well as providing me with a clear focus for ongoing business challenges. I learned to be kinder with myself, overcame much of my anxiety, and re-introduced healthy habits to my lifestyle. By the end of the coaching program I had found my direction.

Simple and Powerful Focusing Tools

I left an abusive relationship and had been battling a tremendous 7-year ordeal in the legal system to protect my daughter’s safety.

What I didn’t fully comprehend until meeting Julia, was just how depleted I was in all the arenas of my life - emotional, mental, physical, spiritua, financial & creative. I had plummeted from the associated post-traumatic stress.

Julia, in an extremely short period of three months, with the utmost of compassion and care for another human being, held an impeccable space to help me navigate a new terrain in healing and take back control over my life. I laughed a lot, I cried, I released anger, fear and got motivated. Julia was a wonderful midwife & witness to the birth of my new dream. As my life coach, she inspired me to live up to the goals I set for myself.

I discovered simple but powerful tools, which I now use on a daily basis to centre and refocus myself in the direction, I want to go. I am more at cause and less at effect and have had a joyous reunion with a powerful goddess inside myself – the Queen of Hearts. Her domain is a rich landscape now, one of hope. She has powerful allies and love governs her thoughts, deeds and actions and the universe responds likewise.

I owe this awakening to my dear life co-celebrator Julia. And take the sun in my soul everyday, weather or not…LOL…
