Arnie Skelton, Managing Director, Effective Training & Development
"Julie is a terrific trainer, coach and facilitator. Her knowledge of her topics, and how learners learn, is extensive, and always uses her knowledge to positive and powerful effect in the wonderful way she engages her learners. Julie works brilliantly with learners of all ages, from primary schoolchildren to adults. She gets them involved, curious and excited. Julie is fabulous at promoting learning by doing, and has an extensive range of tools and techniques that both engage the learner and help them learn.
I have worked with Julie as a colleague and occasional employer, and always enjoy the experience. Julie is completely reliable and conscientious, and a credit to her profession."
Nicky Woodcock, AQA CPD Manager (former)
"In my role as CPD manager for AQA I commissioned Julie to write and deliver a two-day programme for aspiring and recently appointed middle school leaders. "Inspirational Head of Department" - for all subject areas across schools. She trained trainers to deliver this programme nationally. Julie was a pleasure to work with, always professional, insightful and full of innovative and motivational ideas. The training was extremely well received and several attendees were able to go on to secure posts as middle leaders following successful completion of the course. She also created and delivered a range of other courses for AQA, including Coaching Skills, Boystrous Learning and a suite of webinars for Leadership and Management. Julie is an inspirational leader, exceptional communicator and intelligent strategic thinker. She is able to tailor the training to the participants, to personalise it for them, and to deliver results by sharing her significant knowledge and experience. Julie’s training style is to use humour, patience and respect to engage and challenge participants as individuals. Julie is also an exceptional coach and mentor who facilitates effective conversations to motivate others to realise their full potential."
