David Fischette CEO & Chief Creative of Go West Creative
I am an ambitious millennial in the marketing industry who has been tasked with overseeing a department, building back a team, successfully executing against client accounts, and supporting business development initiatives. When presented with an opportunity to join Julie's Game Changer Program, they jumped at the opportunity to lock in 1:1 coaching. Julie helped them to navigate the complexities of their day-to-day, and empowered them with perspective and tools that they use everyday in both their professional and personal life. She also helped them to combat debilitating imposter syndrome and become more solutions oriented and effective in their role. Julie continues to be a resource and mentor.
Karen TennesseeDirector Venues and Sponsorship-Experiential Marketing
As a new manager, my company provided me the opportunity to be coached by Julie Johnston on how to navigate these new professional uncharted territories. She has been a sounding board and a mentor, helping me build the confidence to lead, forge new connections with other peers, and rid myself of the imposter syndrome we all feel in new roles. I’m really grateful for the experience.
Elias KhourySenior Brand Strategist
The tips, tools and techniques Julie patiently taught me during our one on one coaching sessions was an invaluable investment for my career. Within just a few short months of coaching, I received a promotion which resulted in a 30% salary increase. It was even noted that I had substantially improved my communication and conflict resolution skills. Without Julie’s coaching, that would not have been possible.
Jeannine GoldsmithSenior Consultant
I’m so grateful that my company has invested in me by bringing Julie into my professional life! Not only is she fun and inspiring to work with, but she has helped shape the next steps in my career as a young leader within my company. Julie has a supportive way of providing a thought-provoking perspective in every situation and creates a safe space to work through problems, solutions, and steps for change. Her dedication to listening, learning, and providing the support that each individual needs is something that I cannot recommend enough for those interested in advancing their careers as a committed team player, good communicator, and active leader.
