Julie is an amazing teacher and collaborator. If you want your team members to find their purpose and clarify their own self-worth, you need Julie’s advice. She can help your team open communications so that you, as a manager, can accelerate your team by aligning what your business needs with the personal development and advancement that your team members crave.
I have story after story of team members in my network moving on to “better” roles because their purpose was clear in their mind and in their boss’s perceptions.

Feedback from Anglo American on Train the Trainer sessions:
Julie is bright, proactive and delivers on her commitments. She is willing to leverage her expertise and also to keep learning and challenging herself to adopt new skills and experiences. Julie is generous with her own time, advice and guidance. She also brings people together and makes connections that are valuable to those around her. I contracted Julie to work with me in a project role over a period of time which has allowed me to get to know her and see her in action. Reflecting on her many strengths, I would highlight her ability to assimilate a lot of information and find a clear path forward. A strong ability to enroll others through excellent communication and influencing. Julie never loses sight of the business outcome and delivers what she commits to. She is a valuable asset to project teams, as an individual contributor and as a team player. I would work with Julie again in a heartbeat and hope that will emerge in the not too distant future.

When looking to develop our leadership population, I really wanted to find an expert in development and coaching that could work with our leaders not just on theory and practice but on delivery in a human way. That search for expertise brought me to Julie. Julie worked to really understand what the ask was, to understand the culture of the organisation and ensure that the insight and skills she brought could be utilised and tailored for our people. The impact she made and the tools she shared are still evident and help our leaders to be the most effective they can be. I would absolutely recommend engaging and partnering with Julie for any development needs you or your organisation may have.

Julie has been instrumental in helping me deliver a complex Global Procurement Transformation. Having taken on a large Global Procurement team in a “decentralised” structure, we decided that training and upskilling the existing team would be the most impactful way to facilitate the “people” element of the transformation. Julie and I have worked side by side going through every module of Procurement training and developed them specifically for the needs of the INEOS Procurement team (ranging from entry level through to experienced Professionals). The Open and interactive approach has encouraged sharing , accountability, collaboration and great communication throughout the team, whilst we have managed to keep interest going. It has been a pleasure shifting the team from “Transactional” to world class “Strategic” Procurement teams. The transformation has facilitated a confident and highly skilled team resulting in the Procurement Function being elevated and recognised within the strategic organisation, this has allowed the team to lead the way in bigger cost savings, stronger negotiation skills, improved supplier management, good contract management and understanding, increased stakeholder management and delivery of the new ESG and Scope 3 reporting requirements.
I highly recommend Julie for all your Procurement and Mentoring needs!
