Julie came into my life at a time when I was experiencing extreme burnout, my mental health was low and I felt lost. She worked closely with me to discover my core values and determine what I needed to seek out to find fulfilment in my career. Julie provided me with coping strategies and tools to overcome the situation I was in, supported me through a job change and helped me to set clear boundaries between my work and personal life. I cannot express enough how valuable I have found being mentored by Julie and how useful the tools and strategies she provided to me have been. She helped me to reframe my career, navigate the corporate world and work towards a more senior role that we had initially set out as my objective for the sessions.
Julie is a very supportive and objective Mentor, who really helped me work out what I wanted from my career long term. She gave useful advice and supportive feedback at a big picture level that helped me discern what I truly valued in a job role and also gave good advice at the specific job role level, especially on how to cultivate a network of mentors across job roles.
The mentoring with Julie provided me with the tools I needed to be more assertive in my professional career. Working with Julie helped me get the confidence to ask for a salary increase in my previous job as well as to make a lateral move in the company. Julie also supported me with the process of changing to a more senior role in a different industry and to work on those aspects that I needed to improve in my working style - such as effective communication - in order to grow in my career.
The mentoring was effective as it gave me tools that have helped me tackle difficult situations I have experienced in my professional career or situations that I was scared of facing, and been able to manage them using a more effective approach.
Julie’s mentoring sessions were incredibly helpful, personally I have gained in confidence and started to appreciate more the qualities I bring to the table. I believe this is drawn directly from the mentoring Julie provided and has led me on a successful path that eventually secured my work promotion to GFC role.
