Juliette has spent each one of her different careers building relationships. Her first was in travel and tourism after she left college, where customer service was very much her focus.
Following many years of combining her full-time career in travel with a variety of voluntary roles, she turned her commitment to supporting others into her next profession and spent twelve years working in the not-for-profit sector for organisations such as The Prince’s Trust and Macmillan Cancer Care. Her priorities in each organisation were raising money and increasing PR. To do this she successfully enlisted the support of individuals and community groups by developing her ability to network.
Her last two roles in the sector were as part of the senior management team of a London Hospice and a National Cancer Charity, where she enjoyed the leadership and development of large and diverse teams. Supporting others to grow and develop, together with her passion for her own personal and professional development then led her to her career as an Executive and Relationship Coach.
Juliette has now been coaching for over ten years and following the sale of her part of the successful Executive Coaching and Development company she had co-founded, she launched her own business as a Relationship Coach in 2009.
This is when Juliette joined Athena. Being able to recoup her joining fee within the first month and more than ten times over in her first year, she knew the Athena Way would work for her and her business. Since then she has made countless new friends and developed a support network of amazing fellow business-women through Athena. She was so determined to help other women develop their businesses with the same success; she became the Regional Director for the Reading Athena territory. What better way to further indulge her passion for helping others to be the best they can be.
Running her two businesses side by side keeps her busy enough but Juliette still manages to find time to coach local teenagers and support a variety of charities. She loves to spend time with her precious family and friends, who, she says, have been her rock through the tough times and keep her feet on the ground through the great times. “I feel very blessed”, she says “to be doing a job I love so much that it doesn’t feel like a job and to be surrounded by wonderful, supportive and inspirational people at every turn. I want others to have that too.”
She loves the Marianne Williamson quote she has on her office wall and reminds herself of what it says daily “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
