Julia Bend

I am an executive career transition coach who specialises in assisting high-earning executives to overcome obstacles, align their values with their goals, and achieve holistic success through personalised one-on-one coaching.

My approach is distinctive because it centres on a profound exploration of your core values and strengths. I use the Character Strengths methodology, which is a validated tool, designed to leverage individual traits for both personal and professional development.

Unlike many career coaching services that concentrate primarily on action plans and goal-setting, my focus is on understanding the essence of who you are. This understanding allows us to construct a career action plan that is not only effective but also truly reflective of your authentic self.

In doing this, we make sure that your personal characteristics are seamlessly integrated with your professional objectives, leading to a uniquely fulfilling career journey.
