About Julie
After gaining a Certificate in Sales & Marketing Management, Julie spent over 25 years working with a diverse range of business, helping them to develop and grow. This gave her an excellent understanding of the problems business face and the problems individuals struggle with. Business and people have changed greatly over that time.
Julie then went on to do a Diploma in Counselling. Julie is fascinated by people! When good communication and behaviour is a way of life, and used in business, barriers come down, stress is reduced, sickness and absence is reduced. Its a win, win for everyone. When people thrive, businesses thrive! Her mission is to help people and businesses achieve this.
