About Julie

I coach leaders to clarity, confidence, and calm by creating a purposeful plan for your highest priorities.

You don’t have to sacrifice sustainability for success or success for sustainability. Your leadership and your life can support each other instead of competing. When leaders are healthy, clear on their purpose, and confident in their skills, they lead thriving teams who change the world.

A little bit about my background:

After receiving my communications degree from Texas A&M University, I led communications and marketing efforts for Insight for Living, Prestonwood Baptist Church, and Nokia Mobile Phones. For almost a decade, I served pastors and teams at Irving Bible Church (IBC) as Directional Leader to Women, leader of the Communications team, and as an Executive Team member. It was in this season of leadership that I experienced leading through muliple crises, unhealthy pace, and deep burnout. On the other side of burnout, I discovered healing and purpose: to coach other leaders to Lead True, Lead Strong, and Lead Well. I also received my coaching certification from an ICF accredited coaching program.

After leading at IBC, I started my own business coaching leaders and their teams. I enjoyed speaking at conferences and workshops and leading team building initiatives. Later on, I was invited to serve as Director of Leadership Development for Valley Creek Church where I led, taught, and launched their Follow leadership conference, staff leadership development efforts, LeaderStep leadership classes, and Valley Creek Leadership Academy (a nine month gap year program for young adults).  

Most recently, I had the privilege of coaching executive leaders and a team of coaches for the 4Sight Group. Led by Jenni Catron, the 4Sight Group and their LeadCulture framework support organizations wanting to build and maintain a thriving culture.

After all this leadership fun, two of my favorite roles continue to be wife and mom. I have been married to my college sweetheart, Brian, for over 25 years. We have two sons and several dogs who keep me on my toes.
