Julie Cardinal
Transformational Leadership Coach and Workshop Facilitator
Need to develop your purpose, company culture, or employee voice?
Well, that’s my job.
Because while most transformational coaches take a mission-first approach, I'm all about connecting and aligning your business mission with the humans that serve it.
Why?
Because aligning people and business strategies into collaboration is what creates truly powerful and impactful organizations.
That’s the secret sauce inside any successful enterprise.
So how do we get there?
I’ve seen organizations struggle with talent engagement and retention for many different reasons.
It could be:
Having too much to do with too few resources
Juggling deadlines, budgets, and deliverables
Lacking leadership development opportunities
Many times leaders intend to move the needle forward, but have no idea how to get there. This means they put off transformational processes until ‘later’ and start focusing on business results — not team performance.
I believe intention is good, but it’s nothing without action.
