About my coaching - Julia Wright Coaching

ABOUT JULIA

I believe that we all have the capacity to learn, develop and change directions throughout our lives. My own experience bears this out.

I spent nearly 20 years in management in global blue-chip companies, and developed particular expertise in strategic change, communications and project management. I bring an insider’s knowledge of the challenges involved in navigating change, uncertainty and career development within organisations. I also have experience in academic research and language teaching. And raising a family in parallel with my career has given me personal experience of walking the work/life balance tightrope. I have returned to work after career breaks (in my case into challenging corporate environments) and changed career direction.

Through all my business roles, I’ve enjoyed coaching, mentoring and developing people. I’ve seen that great coaching can have an empowering, transformative effect. That’s why I’m now dedicated to working as an independent coach.

This means I can use all my skills and experience to support my clients – who come from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and nationalities. I’m a volunteer Next Steps Mentor with the Prince’s Trust, which has really broadened my awareness of the different types of challenges that people can face in life and work.

In my spare time, I enjoy cinema, theatre and art. As a fluent French speaker, I love discovering new French films and TV dramas. I’m also a keen clarinettist. Having stopped playing after school, I took it up again and benefited from fantastic, personalised coaching which enabled me to take my playing to a new level and play with others in concerts at home and abroad. And as a long-term member of British Military Fitness, I’m often to be found doing press-ups in the mud before dawn!
