Praise from past clients:
What I loved about working with Jules was her thoughtful approach to the whole retreat. Her pre-planning was collaborative and thorough, her attention to detail during the day was spot-on, and her follow-up with summary information and calls to action were just what we needed. Loved the whole process! – Alex, Executive Director at Recreation and Wellness at Stanford University
First Unitarian was fortunate to have Jules lead our annual three-day Women’s Retreat. Our participants thoroughly enjoyed Jules’ facilitation and found their time together spiritually fulfilling, interesting, and nurturing. Behind the scenes, Jules was extremely professional, organized, and clearly communicated, which allowed for a smooth and successful experience for all. – Kerry, Adult Programming & Membership Coordinator at First Unitarian Church of Portland
The 54-hour strategy retreat was gratifying on so many levels. The intention that was put into generating a space for creativity created a really fun, really good experience for us as business owners and as human beings. I can’t think of last time I’ve been asked to play in a different role than normal and outside my comfort zone, and had so much delight from it. Everybody on our team had a different experience, but the outcome was similar—it was invaluable. I would recommend this experience to anybody and I will remember that weekend forever. – Holly, Founder at Fuel Yoga Workouts
Jules brought positive energy to refining a marketing plan for the Clackamas River Basin Council. My intent with the consulting opportunity was not only to refine communication for our Council and the Shade Our Streams program, but also for staff development. I appreciate Jules’ professional approach and the insights she quickly gained about our Council and individuals on our team. Thank you for your preparation and involvement throughout the entire planning process, including presenting to our Board of Directors. – Cheryl, Executive Director at Clackamas River Basin Council
I was lucky to have Jules as a regular guest speaker in the Managing & Leading People class I teach in the UO Strategic Communications Program. Her thorough preparation, deep expertise, positive attitude, and excellent public speaking skills create an outstanding learning experience for all of us. I highly recommend Jules as a gifted writer and as a public speaker. – Brian, Executive Coach at McCarthy Coaching and Instructor at Portland State University & University of Oregon
