WAYFINDER AND STRATEGIST
Guiding organizations and individuals through challenging situations to a place of vision, clarity, alignment, and a way forward for more than TWO decades and hundreds of meetings.
Are you grappling with something complex?
Struggling to envision something that doesn’t exist? Need to get unstuck?
Or discover a different way of doing what’s already been done?
We’ll venture into the imagination where anything is possible so that you can envision potent emergent generative ideas, stories, futures, and a strategy forward.
Most people are uncomfortable with change because it’s messy, chaotic, untethered, dynamic and creative. This is where I come in.
Hi - I’m Julie, and I’m a Wayfinder
I work as a skilled navigator with the ability to discern where you are, intuitively assess the conditions you’re in, and design a journey forward to the more brilliant future you’re creating.
For more than two decades in hundreds of meetings, I’ve guided people like you through a deep dive of your challenging situation so that you can boldly emerge with both an inspirational vision and an empowered strategy that delivers impactful change due to newly created enthusiasm, alignment, trust, and connection.

HERE IS HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
-
WAYFINDING
For leaders, teams and organizations who need a course correction, essentially an expertly designed and guided exploration of your current situation and what’s possible, so that you can emerge with an empowered, cohesive and meaningful strategy forward.
-
VISIONING
For individuals ready to illuminate and initiate your ideas/dreams/desires so that you can see it, feel it, and make it real in the world because your gifts are needed and it’s time.
-
PRESENCING
For organizations, teams, and individuals who want to explore a different way of experiencing the same old problem so that you can harvest novel insights, feel how a challenging situation can shift easily into resolution and emerge possibilities that you wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.
See how we moved ideas into action when I worked with teams at The Detroit Symphony, Mastercard, United Negro College Fund and more…

You are so multifaceted. Your ability to listen, to feel and respond with graphic art is striking. It’s like your presence is seen and felt but in such a gentle way that it isn’t a distraction. Your ability to hold space and keep us on track is a huge gift. I never felt rushed or boxed in, but I always felt on track. I also think you have an amazing energy that contributed to the overall energy level in the room which opened the space for vulnerabilities and honesty. I appreciated your intuition to know when to move on and when to go deeper. Thank you for the last two days. You were an amazing facilitator and overall contribution to the work!!

All in all, stepping back and thinking about how we were when we arrived and where we were when we left, the amount of movement that occurred within the group was considerable. Julie’s ability to guide is very, very effective and strong. Very nice job. She definitely has a talent and a gift to do the guiding-thing and the visual-thing simultaneously. To take a group who were not an intact team and get us to a place where we felt like a collective which can contribute to the space about change speaks to her skill set and how particularly effective it is. There was an enhanced and increased level of honesty spoken within the group, which we had not experienced before. The difference was primarily Julie.
