About me - The Success Architect

Hi I'm Julie, The Success Architect^®

…and if you’re reading this you’ll know I’m a leadership and strategy coach.

What you might not know is that I love chocolate, am rather partial to a glass of Malbec on a Friday evening and my favourite season is Autumn.

So usually I find my best days are in October, with a glass in hand sat by a roaring log burning stove and it’s probably why it’s the i3 Leadership Autumn Immersion events I look forward to the most.

I live on the outskirts of Birmingham in the UK with my wife Amira, our mysterious black cat Midnight, and our mischievous black Labrador, Inca. Life is rarely dull!

You can be reassured by the fact that I’m a certified Marshall Goldsmith executive coach, a Business Psychologist and a seasoned and successful leader with board room experience. I’m also an accredited Strengths Profiler and a member of the Association for Coaching, adhering to their ‘Global Code of Ethics’.

In short, I’m a lifelong learner with a growth mindset!

I’m immensely proud of my i3 Leadership programme. All the tools and strategies have been thoroughly tested during my 16 years leadership experience.

If something worked I’d hone, practice and finesse the technique. And if it didn’t work? Well this is where you get to fast track and avoid my mistakes!

'Inspiring Excellence'

‘Inspiring Excellence’ is my leadership motto, guiding my professional life.

I’ve always strived for excellence driven by ‘my love of learning’.

As a mature student I chose not to listen to the tutors who told me I would never get into the University of Birmingham, one of the top redbrick universities in the UK.

Instead I sold my bed to buy the suit for my university interview and three years later graduated in the magnificent Great Hall with honours.

I now hold two masters degrees, the last one in Business and Organisational Psychology and guest lecture on Leadership and Resilience.

Who I work with...

I work with bright, successful professionals who are committed, curious and who tend to set very high standards for themselves, who, like you, want to be exemplary leaders. They may already be in a C-suite position, holding an exco seat, or aspiring to a senior position.

I also work with forward thinking organisations who are purpose driven, mission lit and seek a different proven approach to embedding authentic leadership.

If my ethos resonates with you, if you’re looking to reap the rewards which follow when you choose to invest in professional development I’d be delighted to talk further to you.

Why I do what I do...

I believe we all have a unique set of skills we can apply to help solve some of today’s pressing challenges and in this way we lead a more authentic and meaningful life. It is my mission to solve, ‘The 64% Challenge’
