Julie is an EMCC (European Mentoring & Coaching Council) certified Transformational Coach and Emotional Intelligence specialist living in Italy. She works with people who want to communicate better, lead more effectively, and navigate workplace dynamics with confidence.
As founder of Persefone Coaching, Julie brings a unique background to her work. Her time in political communication within the Italian Parliament taught her how messaging really works under pressure, while her time as a Director and Trainer across UK, Hungary, Spain, and Italy gave her deep insight into how cultural differences shape communication and leadership styles.
Julie's approach is practical rather than theoretical. She focuses on communication skills, leadership development, workplace effectiveness, and intercultural understanding because these are the areas where she's seen clients make the biggest difference in their careers.
Her coaching draws from management, psychology and emotional intelligence, but always with an eye toward what actually works in real workplace situations.
From difficult conversations to building team dynamics to developing your leadership presence, Julie's experience spans the range of challenges professionals face today.
She's also passionate about grassroots organising and teaches these skills to aspiring leaders and activists who want to create change in their communities.
When she's not coaching, Julie is often learning something new herself. She has a particular fascination with technology, space, and theoretical physics. Interests that keep her thinking creatively about problem-solving and human potential.
