Jumpstart Into
Work You Love
A 4 month, 1:1 coaching program.
Find work that's right for you, so you can feel like yourself again, and shine.
Jumpstart into Work You Love, is designed to help you launch
into a new phase of your career-
one that feels aligned, and that you can't wait to start.
This program is about getting unstuck.
Most people come to me because they're in a job that's causing unhappiness, and they want to create change, but they don't know where to start.
They know they need to move on, but they can't see their next step clearly enough to take action.
Usually, they're sitting on a burning desire for more. Their intuition tells them they're capable of more. They've felt lit up before (even if that was ages ago), and they want that feeling again!
They may know there isn't a future for them, where they are.
They may feel stuck in a pattern of frustration- they're feeling undervalued, or underperforming, or overlooked, or out of place, or mistreated... again.
Many times, they've lost sight of what their real gifts are. This can make anyone spin in self-doubt.
And so, while they truly long for something different- and know more is possible for them- they can't quite identify that for themselves. They have a little recovering to do... to remember who they are, what makes them happy, and what they're great at.
For anyone who's stuck, this can be painful. But the good news is, it's all workable!
And, with a little help, it's often much easier to work out than your stressed-out brain thinks it will be.
It's also about getting clear.
Just like I help other clients, I can help you discover- and know viscerally- what you want. (Not what you think you should do, or what you think you have to do, but what you actually want.)
You'll know when you've landed on this because you'll feel excited, hopeful and energized again! And a whole lot more like yourself.
Through our sessions, I'll also help you see how your vision is possible. We'll take an honest look at what moving forward really looks like- and demystify the process- so that your path feels clear and doable.
When those two things are in place- visceral clarity and confidence in possibility- I find clients naturally launch into action.
With your clarity and confidence, you might:
- Find new work, in a completely new industry or role- or even by working for yourself!
- Decide to stay in the same industry or role, but find a new company to work for, that's better aligned with you.
- Realize you're in the right place, but take on a whole new approach to work that offers renewed fulfillment.
How It Works
1.
We meet twice per month for 4 months, for one hour. (If you need to speed up the pace, you can.)
2.
You'll move through step-by-step program modules that help you become clear. You'll have reading and reflection questions between each call.
3.
Modules are designed to help you complete the process of getting clear. Depending on your individual needs, you have the option of spending more or less time on each module.
4.
You'll take action between calls, which will help in your process of finding new opportunities. These actions will either help you forward your inner growth, or your job search process, or both.
A Process Grounded in Real Change
Real change involves knowing yourself, permission to feel, and bringing compassionate awareness to where you get stuck. When you can heal and dissolve that tension, what you're left with is a new, kinder relationship with yourself- and a much clearer path to your desired goal.
Session 1: Preparing the process
In our first session, we explore your intentions, and get clear on what we're working with. We gain insight into the nature of your specific struggle, and the specific help you need, in order to open new possibilities.
Session 2: creating freedom & safety
In your second session, I'll help you set aside the habits that have you distrusting yourself (and spinning). This creates an inner shift that makes it possible to hear yourself, and see the validity of your ideas and longings. This, itself, is liberating!
session 3: opening to your dream
In session 3, I'll help you get real about what you really want, and connect to a vision that feels empowering and right for you. Here, you'll begin to see that having work that offers fulfillment- even excitement- is a lot more possible than you thought!
session 4: harnessing your purpose
In session 4, I'll help you connect to your greater purpose, and experience the clarity it brings. This goes a long way to knowing you're on the right path, and it will also offer a focused look at what kinds of jobs or roles will bring out the best in you.
session 5: owning your value
In session 5, I'll help you own your natural (but overlooked) gifts, and see clearly where you're needed in the world. We'll look at how to reveal these gifts as you interview, and make sure your next job asks you to use them, so you can be sure to shine.
session 6: choosing your path
By the 6th session, you'll likely see a clear road ahead. It may be new, but you'll see how it is all possible. This is where you let it sink in that you can have what you want. To bolster your vision, we explore your personal commitments, addressing both practical and emotional aspects of what will be asked of you as you move forward.
session 7: gathering resources
In this session, we look at how to stay on track, so that you don't get derailed on your journey. We address specific needs and concerns that are likely to come up, and create a support plan (including new skills you can use) to help you move through challenges.
session 8: celebrating your future
Now that your'e in a totally new place, we celebrate, so that you can lock in learning! We acknowledge your courage to change, and what you know your'e capable of now. We end by looking into the future, and articulating what's available to you, now that you've changed.
BONUS MODULE: HOW TO DISSOLVE STICKY, RECURRING PATTERNS
When we're stuck, we're usually coming up against a pattern in our life. It's easy to think you're fated to stay there, but that's not true! Patterns ask us to look a little deeper at the parts of us who need love, attention, recognition, permission, and safety. Love and awareness can heal, and allow new chapters to begin. This module will help you see the reason your pattern exists, and how to heal it.
Julio's story
From an 'okay' job to carving a path as an international leader.
...The transition out of work was extraordinary. I gave a truthful and heartfelt explanation of why my career path laid elsewhere, to which I received mostly support and words of encouragement. The tools I was introduced to made it happen with an efficiency I could have never replicated out of simple intuition.
It has not been a year since I started coaching and I have been able to cover far more distance in my professional path than in the previous five years.

This program is right for you if:
You know you're on the wrong track.
You can't see a happy future from where you are. You know you need change, even if you don't know what that is.
You want to feel excited again.
You know you don't have to endure unhappiness forever. On some level, you know it's possible for you to feel alive and inspired and love what you do.
You know you're meant for more.
You don't know what exactly you should be doing, but you know you're capable of something more, a job where you can shine. You feel it in your gut- this isn't your path.
You're stuck in a pattern of dissatisfaction.
You've experienced similar let downs more than once- this is feeling like a pattern now. You want to get to the bottom of it, so you can change.
Julie's story
From burnout to empowered leadership.
...Julie helped me identify core issues within myself and my environment that I was allowing to take over, and this was really empowering. She helped me get unstuck- by opening my eyes to the ways that I could set myself up to be on the path toward happiness and ownership. I stopped feeling like a victim and stopped waking up every day telling myself I was at rock bottom with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I started to feel again and dream again...
...I literally went from waking up dreading each day to being happy and embracing everything that came my way.

You're ready for this program if:
You're willing to believe.
You're so down that you may not feel optimistic yet about the future, but you are willing to believe things can be way better.
You're open.
You've tried dealing with this with your usual approach- and it didn't work. You're open to new ways of looking at things, in order to create new possibilities for yourself.
You're willing to change.
For you, the cost of creating change (the courage it'll take) is greater than the cost of staying where you are. You'll try anything if it will help.
You're getting emotional.
You're not so resistant to your own emotions that you're unwilling to explore them, for the sake of freedom. You'd rather be messy and real than faking it and unhappy.
Ellie's story
A new job, new city, and a new perspective.
Having gone through Julie's program, a lot changed. Not only did I move to a new city and find a job I love that’s a good fit for me, but now, I find it easier to see the big picture of what I'm doing, which helps me find meaning in the day to day. I have more confidence in what I’m seeking from my career in general and I know my strengths in a way I didn't before. I have a lot more pride in what I do.
My whole attitude has changed- I have so much more of a positive outlook. I look at others who are worn down and negative, and realize I used to be there, but I’m in a totally different place now. I realize I have ownership over what my job is- I can change it or improve it if it’s not working for me. I look ahead and I know I can get through anything. I see my capacity much clearer.

Rebecca's story
From a toxic workplace to fulfilling a dream of starting her own business.
...The best outcome has been setting up my own business, realizing my worth and understanding what work really sets my soul on fire. Also understanding that it’s ok to feel and that there’s a whole spectrum of emotions. I also feel I have more respect for my own skills, talents and understand myself a lot better. I learned that I can break repeated patterns from the past and the root causes of my shame and unhappiness. This has helped me move forward from this. I feel I have learnt a lot about myself and what my soul really needs and how I can make this happen.

Common (and Important) Questions
This program is great for:
-Emotionally sensitive, intuitive, creative or spiritual types, who want more than what they're experiencing now.
-People who feel they've been stuck in a pattern of work experiences that leave them drained and disconnected from themselves.
-People who are curious about what's holding them back, and wanting to get to the bottom of it.
This program is not a good fit for:
-People looking for career strategy, but who don't acknowledge a relationship between this and their inner growth.
Clients who do well with me are clear that they have a personal need for growth. They've experienced repetitively getting stuck, and they know they have things to work through in order to create what they want. They understand it will take courage, but they’re willing to take an honest look at it all, with the right support. They intuitively know this as key to creating freedom and happiness.
I can definitely help you see what you’d be good at!
There are many ways of seeing your gifts that will offer an honest assessment of what you’re meant to do. Most people have trouble seeing and naming skills that aren't already listed on their resume. This can cause them to feel stuck with limited options. But there's likely a lot more to highlight than what you currently see. I help you discover the skill and grace you bring, and know where it is needed in the working world. This is one way you can discover which kind of job is aligned with you and your purpose.
If you're like my other clients, your idea of what you really want will at first sound impossible, but that's just your brain playing a little trick on you. This work is all about dismantling that response and replacing it with one that has you embracing reality with responsibility and courage.
Many of my clients come to me when they’ve hit rock bottom. They really aren’t feeling like themselves. When these clients had their initial consultation, I helped them to see that they’re not ‘beyond help’. They’re just suffering the kind of symptoms (exhaustion, doubt, or anxiety) that are typical of someone who’s working hard to adapt to a job that’s just the wrong fit.
When we have our initial conversation, we'll both get a sense for if I can help you. If I think you need a different kind of help than I can offer, I'll be honest with you and share any recommendations regarding how you might move forward.

Next, navigate to the 'About Me' page, which lists content under 'Coaching Experience' and 'Coaching Values & Philosophy'. If you have further questions, feel free to write me a note at the bottom of the home page!
We meet by phone or zoom, so as long as we can find a time that works in each of our time zones, we can meet.
Because this coaching work is done on a one-to-one basis, I find that there’s no wiggling out of it. Not only that, but our conversations help you address any fears that may have you resisting moving forward. Clients who have tried online programs before this program have found what they need in this work, and have made the discoveries and changes they want.
That said, it's up to you to stay in the process, and to communicate what you need. If you fear you may lack the right commitment, this is something we can talk through before you sign onto to the program. We can help discern together whether the timing is right for you.
This program involves reading and reflection questions (and supplemental exercises) between each session. You’re free to dive in as deeply as you want, and in a way that will serve you most.
Yes, you can. Because we go deep in each session, most clients choose to take that two weeks to process the changes and discoveries that happen. However, those who aren’t working have more time to process, and so they often are more comfortable moving faster.
Sessions are 1 hour long, with the exception of your first session, which is 90 minutes.
Maggie's Story
From seeing limited options to finding a clear vision, and confidence.
...The first time I spoke with Julie, that negative loop started to get quieter and I began to make space for my own wants and desires to emerge. Julie gently held space for me to work out my own solutions, asking questions that required deep introspection, and helped me connect the dots of past hurts and their effects on my current behaviors.
I’m most grateful for the skills of listening to myself and trusting myself that I strengthened through working with Julie. I’m able to listen to my own desires in a way that I was completely shut off to before coaching and now firmly believe that if I want something, I can have it.

RH's Story
From confusing stagnation to fulfilling and exciting commitment.
Before coaching with Julie, I’d watched another effort at career change begin to stagnate, and I wasn't willing to let this happen again.
Coaching with Julie accelerated the growth I'd already begun in opening myself to connecting with people I found scary or challenging. Since coaching ended, I've witnessed concrete changes in myself, regarding courage in relationships... I gained a clear and mature understanding of my part of a broken relationship in my life, so that I can decide deliberately how I want to move forward with that person...
As a result of coaching I decided to move to a swing county, in a swing state, to throw myself into deep canvassing... I am realistic about what's an appropriate next step for me: I'm neither grandiose about what I can accomplish given my skills, credentials, and experience nor paralyzed by what I lack.

More Client Testimonials
Before working with Julie, I was in a job that wasn't well aligned with my abilities and temperament. I felt stuck, hopeless and desperate for a change but I didn't know how to achieve it.
Julie helped me realize that earning a living didn't have to be a mournful, soul-sucking grind and that a more fulfilling existence is possible. I learned to recognize my talents and abilities and how I can use those to achieve a more fulfilling life through work.
Julie gives an incredible amount of thought and consideration into individual needs and provides counsel that is very specific to one’s personality and situation.
Shane A. ● Financial Advisor
I thought the [coaching] process would simply examine my work life and help me identify a new career path. I didn’t expect that the process would connect me to myself, and this was the best part. I learned to acknowledge my inner value and worthiness. This is a statement that is easy to say but has been almost impossible for me to fully understand. I am on my way to living out the truth of that statement.
If you’re thinking about working with Julie: Do it! You will ultimately gain insight towards the goal you are working towards and more.
Nina W. ● Educator
Before working with Julie, I felt frustrated in my (then) current job and career path, and a little puzzled at why I hadn't excelled and lived up to my abilities at work in multiple jobs I'd had... Through coaching, I was able to leave a job that had become an unhealthy environment for me, and where I felt constantly passed over and under-valued, but where I felt really stuck nonetheless... The best part has been getting to step into a feeling of my own authority in a way that feels healthy and long-lasting. I would highly recommend working with Julie! For me, it was totally life-changing.
Ali B. ● Coaching Client
As a result of coaching, I was able to take the first steps to setting up a business, easily connecting with others in the field and defining what a successful career would look like for me.
The best part of this is that I’ve come to feel 100% more positive about the future of my work life, by being true to myself and finding a new path that feels right for me. Now I'm no longer focused on what I feel I can’t do, but looking forward to using work as a way to grow my life and share my full self more widely.
Lindsay K. ● Business Owner
Coaching helped me to see how my natural skills and abilities are applicable to work that I find meaningful. It's helped me to get honest with myself about what I want and how to achieve it...
The best outcome has been that my self-confidence is so much better than when I first began coaching. I trust myself even more...
I would highly recommend working with Julie. She has a natural ability to see our gifts when we are struggling to see them ourselves.
Katherine C. ● Coaching Client
This process helped me to gain so much clarity. I came away with an understanding of my areas of expertise that I've developed over the last several years, the parts of my work that I want to focus on because they are fun and expansive, and clarity on how I could begin to create change that I am comfortable with and excited about.
I started this program with the expectation that it would help me chose my next job, but actually created a much deeper understanding of myself and a vision for my future.
A.E. ● Coaching Client
If you’re thinking about coaching with Julie, It will be the best money you’ve spent. It was an excellent investment: it made me really dig deep and understand myself so much better and not be fearful of emotions. I feel happier, I have more direction and gained so much insight. Julie gives you tools to actually really make it happen and the exercises really make you think about what you really want in life to be happy and give it meaning.
Rebecca F ● Marketing Expert | Writer | Singer/Violinist
As a result of coaching with Julie, I was able to look at myself with respect! I felt proud when I looked in the mirror. I felt confident enough to change the things that I could change and do something about. To help the people around me make sure they were succeeding and not letting them drag me down into their problems, but rather help them solve them. I also looked at myself with more confidence, and made sure that I knew that I was doing things right!
Pablo T ● Project Manager
Julie leaves space for you, but leads you when you need guidance. She gives you the opportunity to talk through hesitation, doubts - maybe an off day that happened previously. But she also takes those moments that may seem unrelated to the bigger picture of what you are working on and shows you how that off day might be feeding into something bigger. She helps you to connect the dots without mapping it out for you.
Jacki B. ● Writer
I always knew that I wanted more out of my professional life but I felt so out of touch with who I was that I wasn’t even sure what I was good at or what direction to go in. We’re programmed to believe that work is supposed to be a struggle everyday. We’re programed to hate working but it doesn’t have to be— Julie has a method to help you see the real possibilities within yourself. She helped me find my purpose and my why.
Marina ●
I valued Julie’s skill and warmth through the whole process and her commitment to me was deeply felt. I would recommend coaching with Julie to anyone who is struggling with connecting to their own dreams and stuck living in the dull world of practical choices driven by what they think they “should” do. I’m so much more open to the possibilities for my life and the world around me and quicker to act on my desires in service of turning those possibilities into reality.
Maggie V. ●
Julie is like a magic arrow, cutting quickly and decisively to the point and asking precisely the questions you need to be asking yourself. Through the sessions I gained incredible clarity about what direction I wanted my career to take, ways I could improve my relationships with my son and other important people in my life and a clearer vision about what I want to create for my future longer term. Julie is incredibly intelligent, kind and intuitive and my life has been quite transformed by our work together. Most highly recommended!
Emily ● Filmmaker | Musician
One of the numerous gifts that Julie has given me is a new perspective. Her gentle reframing has invited me to see the world through other lenses that have freed me from the traps of my past narratives and offered me a world of opportunity - simply through thinking about it differently. This has allowed me to think and feel about my work, relationships, and self in ways that allow me to make new choices about my future and begin to build the life that I want.
Elizabeth ●
I’m especially thankful for some of the connections Julie and I made between the saboteurs that can sabotage my thinking and my early childhood experiences. The work we did together really helped me to step closer to my creative self. I’ve embarked on a path where I’ll continue to focus healing energy to those memories, allowing me to keep breaking patterns that have developed over time. I would absolutely recommend Julie Boyer as a coach. She is professional, empathetic, pragmatic, kind and deeply generous.
"Emelie" ● Nonprofit Leader | Artist
No matter what topic, issue or doubt I’ve brought up, Julie has always been able to offer an astonishing level of insight and guidance...she brings her full self to each session and exudes a tremendous amount of empathy and respect. There is no doubt that she genuinely cares about the individuals that she works with and the warmth and joy that she shares in their growth and successes is palpable. Anyone who works with Julie can consider themselves lucky to have a true fan on their team.
