Personal Life Coaching Testimonials:

"Julia is a phenomenal, encouraging, skillful and playful coach. I have taken a journey of adventure each time we worked together. She has a gift for really "getting" a person and getting to the soul of the matter simply and elegantly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Anne Dobbie, Film Producer of Crossing the Bridge

"Julia is fabulous, supportive and understanding. She listens deeply and always has a different way of looking at situations. She has held my hand when needed, given me a kick in the butt when needed. Knowing she is rooting for me 100% is wonderful.
On numerous occasions I have run into 'challenges' and have been able to role play or run through possible ways of handling the situations. This has been invaluable to me. It is great having someone to run crazy ideas past and to brainstorm with. When you work alone as I do, it is good to have someone who has your best interests in mind at all times! I highly recommend Julia and her services."
Melanie Rockett

"Julia is an intuitive and adept coach who skilfully guided me through the illuminating process of clarifying my talents and defining my values. With great finesse, she drew out the information from within me, never imposing herself in any way. I highly recommend her as a life or career coach."
Shelley Ross

"I sought out a Life Coach because I was totally stressed by the demands of my job and was at the point of quitting with absolutely no plan for my future. I felt like I was standing at the edge of a cliff. As a result of the coaching process, I realize that I must put myself first and that I am in control of my own life. I have chosen to stay at my job but it is now a choice. I am able to cope with the stress and make time for the things that are important to me."
Nancy Muir, Controller

"Julia James is fantastic.  Commitment, listening, creativity and communication, these are the tools that she brings to motivate, inspire and discover where you can go with your life.  Through working with Julia I have had breakthroughs in my relationships, my career and my commitments. If there are any areas in your life where you are not living extraordinary, not playing full out, working with Julia will open the doors to a life worth living."
Thomas DeSchutter, Investment Executive

"Coaching has helped me to articulate my goals and intentions and to stay on track while pursuing them."
C. Friesen, Lawyer

"Julia has been a great adviser to me over the last year. She has helped me grow my business, better my family life and put me on a track to better health. I know that I can bounce ideas and concerns to an unbiased person. Julia comes back at me with options and ideas that add to or strengthen my original thoughts. Julia is able to pick out the characteristics within me and focus those traits to strengthen my business and personal life.
My growth with Julia as my coach has been steep and I would recommend anyone to have Julia help them grow."
Graham Shivers, Mortgage Broker, The Mortgage Group

"Coaching with Julia has provided the space I needed to process and develop the strategies and supports that have made my goals and dreams into realities. Julia's skill at assisting me to identify and overcome the barriers that were holding me back has produced amazing breakthroughs in personal growth. As a result of Julia's unwavering support I now have a solid and exciting business to nurture and grow and am more confident in all areas of my life."

"The team came away with a sense of increased camaraderie built from a vulnerability, honesty and trust that was experienced during the workshops. We came away with a common language that speaks to balance, responsibility, and getting to the point of the issue at hand. We came away with a recognition that there are individual perspectives which in effect are unique truths, valuable and underpinning the whole organization."

"In October 2005 the PIBC Lower Mainland Chapter worked with Julia James to host two coaching workshops for planning professionals. [...] Julia created a safe and relaxed environment in which to begin the exploration of life matters with some very useful techniques, and to share experiences and do some deliberate thinking. The positive feedback from participants testified to their enjoyment of the sessions. It is noteworthy that while the workshops were light spirited, they provided much to take away and continue to ponder on one's own time. "A brief pause in the rush hour of life" as one participant stated, and one that was a pleasure to share with professionals who can relate to our experiences."
Deana Grinnell, Planning Institute of BC, Lower Mainland Chapter

"Thanks Julia. Your presentation was an excellent reminder to keep the 'bigger picture' in focus. The session was informative, insightful, valuable and very timely."
Brian Nann, Building Owners and Managers Association BC
Education Committee

"This is a sound and thought-provoking seminar that should motivate one towards work-life balance."
Harry Diemer, CEO, BC Safety Authority
