Attending to Cherished Goals

And ready to help others find fulfillment

Julie is the kind of person who travels to Tanzania by herself to climb Africa’s tallest mountain at age 40 and who has a goal of completing 100 triathlons in twenty years. She believes that we all have the ability and time to take action on our most cherished goals, needs, and wishes - no matter where we’re starting from. She leads by example and shares, “We have the power to make dramatic improvements in each area of our lives. Once we see that ability within ourselves, we can transform ourselves through big goals and small steps each day.”

Julie’s passion for empowering others and her ability to engage an audience make her a dynamic speaker and workshop leader. Her stories create learning moments and she presents powerful strategies and tools that can launch individuals further down their desired path. Her new book Ten Critical Strategies for Finding Fulfillment in a Hectic World includes many of these tools. Watch a Fox 6 Milwaukee interview about the book.

Triathlon and Mentoring

Julie is an avid sprint triathlete and is on target to complete 100 races between 2001 and 2020. Her race count currently stands at 55.

To help women from all walks of life achieve their fitness goals, Danskin hired Julie in 2009 to coordinate their triathlon mentor program. Leading up to the Chicago-area triathlon, 300 women gained skills, knowledge, and confidence to complete their first triathlon. Julie was at the finish line to congratulate each woman.

Iceland, Mops, and Hitchhiking

Julie’s sense of adventure has taken her to every continent except Antarctica. She has completed a winter survival program in Norway, studied as a Fulbright Scholar in Iceland, mopped floors at a maternity hospital in Australia, ridden horses in Mongolia, summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, and scaled a volcano in South America. A ten-year marriage began with a honeymoon that involved hitchhiking 5400 miles to Alaska and back. Check out a complete list of Julie’s adventures.

Julie currently spends her time coaching, parenting, working on an organic vegetable farm (and still eating PopTarts), and collecting camping gear. Her two teenage children pleasantly distract her and ignore her suggestions for personal development.

Credentials

Julie is credentialed as an associate certified coach through the International Coach Federation (ICF). She graduated from an ICF-accredited coaching program and adheres to the ICF Code of Ethics in her practice. To learn more, visit the ICF web site at www.coachfederation.org.
