“As a family member of a family-owned business, I have worked with numerous consultants and business coaches over the years. Earlier in the year, another family member and I were tasked with creating a family philanthropy plan. Julie was recommended by a trusted and well-known professional, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that connection. Julie is the real deal. She is not only an expert in everything philanthropy, but she knows how to make the process of philanthropy planning flawless and effortless. Even more, she was able to help my family pinpoint their core values and then help to weave those values into a plan that represents us as a collective while maintaining and respecting individuality. Our philanthropy plan turned out better than any of us could have imagined, and I credit Julie for that.”
“Julie facilitated our first comprehensive strategic planning meeting and hit the ground running by doing extensive pre-work to gain a thorough understanding of our nonprofit and the unique realities of our situation. Her approach during the day-long meeting was fresh and engaging, and her leadership style allowed her to hear all voices and act as a guide to facilitate productive discussions so we could reach targeted objectives. As a result, the planning day went smoothly and efficiently.
Our non-profit organization genuinely benefited by having Julie as our facilitator so that we could outline our goals and strategic initiatives. We highly recommend Julie to other organizations looking for a seasoned, well-organized professional who is also a gifted communicator.”
“Julie created and delivered Creating + Sustaining Successful Partnerships training for National Service members as part of a professional development program. The presentation was engaging and interactive and far exceeded expectations utilizing ZOOM vs. in-person training.

She has transformed her vast experience and knowledge, as well as her presentation skills, into a consulting practice I look forward to using again! ”
