“As a new leader in a large organization, I felt overwhelmed by self-pressure to hyper-perform. The Authenticity Guide helped me tackle the skills I needed to manage my goals and tweak my expectations of how to achieve them. My vision is now clear, and I have confidence in my new approach to success! I would highly recommend 1:1 coaching with The Authenticity Guide to anyone interested in being the best version of themselves.”

 

“As an early career professional, I was having a really hard time navigating my current role and understanding why I wasn't feeling invested in my work. The Authenticity Guide helped me dig deeper and uncover what the core values were that shaped the work I do. She helped me develop a personal narrative that expressed those values to others and is something I still use today. I am now investing my time in people and activities that align with where I want to go and what I want to do, and The Authenticity Guide helped put me on this path.”

 

“There's a reason Julia is an award-winning coach. She's incredible at what she does. After working with her, I feel more connected to my work than I have in a long time, and I'm confident about my plan going forward. I'm sure her process adapts to each client, but I can speak to what she's done for me - she's been a sounding board, an inspiration, an instructor, and an accountability partner. I'm grateful that I invested time and resources into this program, and I'm seeing the immediate payoff.”

A Word From Our Founder

Hi, I’m Julia. Congratulations on being here: it means you’ve taken the first step to finding authentic joy at work. The first step is often the hardest!

As for me? I am a recovering perfectionist. I crave authenticity in conversations about work. Critically, I believe in holistic well-being: your paid job, though important, won’t alone bring you fulfillment. That’s why I created The Authenticity Guide.

When I work with clients (from Founders and CEOs to Managers and Directors), I have a specific focus on career & leadership, but I also empower my clients to find joy and satisfaction in every part of their lives. To learn more about the 6 components of wellbeing, download The Authenticity Guide!

I can’t (and don’t want to!) do this work alone. I have a team of incredible coaches and facilitators, who you can read about in the coaching and speaking & workshops tabs.

I graduated from Brandeis University with a degree in Economics and from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business with an MBA. I’m certified through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and am also a certified Positive Intelligence Coach.

I also write for Forbes. You can read my writing by clicking the button below.

I couldn’t be more excited to partner with you on your journey to find more joy and purpose.

why the authenticity guide

I’ve worked in a variety of industries throughout my life -- from corporate finance, to healthcare operations, to impact investing, and many industries in between. Despite finding professional and financial success, I struggled over the years to find a career that I was truly passionate about. I wanted to feel excited when my alarm clock went off in the morning. I never did. I felt stuck.

After some years of deep introspection and help from others, I embraced a fact that I had been ignoring for a long time: I was discounting and devaluing my natural gifts as “unimpressive.” In fact, my true super power and love was always coaching. I had always "coached," whether it was colleagues, friends, bosses, or teams.

In 2018 I launched my coaching company, The Authenticity Guide. The word “guide” functions both as a verb (through collaborative coaching) and a noun (download The Authenticity Guide here).

I feel a pressing need for work to feel more human and for humans at work to feel more authentic.
