I'M JULIA
As a purpose-driven leader, you took on this role because you wanted to make a meaningful difference in the world.
You probably had a vision for driving social change. But despite your passion and capabilities, you may not be achieving the impact you desire.
Daily constraints, endless to-do lists, and feelings of never doing enough can dim your light and leave you spinning your wheels. I understand, because I've been where you are too!
As a coach, I love to work with for-purpose leaders like you to help identify and remove the blocks holding you back, so you can reclaim your purpose and show up as a highly successful leader amplifying positive change!
I've been immersed in the for-purpose world for my entire career - from leadership roles at charities like Trade Aid and 350 Aotearoa, to later founding impact ventures like Do Good Jobs and Thundergrid. This work was my calling, but it also frequently left me feeling burned out and depleted.
Despite my best efforts, I constantly felt stretched too thin. I was trying to be everything to everyone, terrified of saying no to any opportunity that could create more impact. I was the classic overwhelmed leader - exhausted, running on fumes, with an endless to-do list and persistent self-doubt whispering "you're never doing enough."
I knew this couldn't be the way. Pouring from an empty cup, I couldn't possibly be as effective or impactful as I dreamed. So I decided to invest heavily in my own professional and personal development.
This journey helped me learn tangible strategies to set boundaries, safeguard my energy, and work smarter instead of harder, but also led to a whole world of self-discovery involving deep mindset work to overcome my limiting beliefs and fears. Slowly but surely, I reconstructed my entire approach to leadership and life.
The transformations I experienced were nothing short of game-changing. I finally felt like I could breathe again as the endless uphill battle became a manageable path forward. Self-care, balance, and sustainable strategies allowed me to reclaim my spark and amplify my ability to drive positive change.
In 2023, after a decade as the founder of Do Good Jobs I sold this buisness to fully pursue my calling as a coach and started For Impact Coach.
Today as a Certified ICF Coach and a Certifed Results and Transformational Coach, I get to walk alongside other purpose-driven leaders like you and light the way towards ditching the constant struggle.
Through coaching, I'll help you uncover your own limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns. Together, we'll co-create the mindset shifts and practical strategies tailored to your unique vision, so you can reclaim your energy, confidence and ability to create exponential impact - all without sacrificing yourself along the way.
My role is to be your guide and thought partner, shining a light on the path for you to become an unstoppable force for positive change. The expertise lies within you, I'm simply here to help you rediscover your strengths and remove the barriers holding you back from fully thriving as a leader!
