Potentia Coach
Coach Profile
Julia Felton

“I truly believe that everyone is capable of so much more than they realise. Coaching enables people to unlock their own hidden potential, so they can have the influence and make the impact they really desire in the world.”

COACHING STYLE

Julia is caring and compassionate coach, but don’t let that fool you; she is also tough and direct. Committed to helping clients step out of their comfort zone in order to achieve their own brilliance, she challenges and inspires her clients to take courageous action, to ‘grab the reins’ and become the leader of their business and life. She ignites the human spirit and energises her clients to become impactful leaders, who are consciously aware and who want to make a real difference in the world. Passionate about nature, Julia’s coaching interventions sometimes involve sessions with her horses, who she describes as “the best coaches ever, as they never sugar-coat their feedback.”

 

EXPERIENCE, INDUSTRY SECTORS, CLIENTS

Julia is a former corporate executive with a proven 25-year track record of delivering results through creating high performance business and teams from the ground up. Always a pioneer, she became an’ intrapreneur’ (sic), whilst working at Andersen and Deloitte, where she was responsible for creating, developing and launching the first ever on line business intelligence tools for the hospitality industry. That business rapidly became a multi-million dollar business unit, the market leader in its field. Julia was charged with selling this business unit and so is uniquely positioned to have seen a business through the entire growth life cycle. She also replicated a similar initiative for the UK HealthClub industry

Additionally, she led her team through the Andersen Deloitte transaction and so appreciates the challenges of keeping a team engaged whilst leading through uncertainty. A lifelong learner with a passion for business Julia loves sharing her expertise and knowledge with others in order to help them achieve success and unleash their hidden potential.

Julia typically works with entrepreneurial minded business leaders and boards seeking to challenge the status quo and do things differently. By harnessing the ‘principles of the herd’, she works to identify the bottlenecks in the business, create high performance teams and harness leadership skills to enable companies to succeed.

Her speciality industry sectors are service based organisations, particularly hospitality and professional services. Julia has worked across Europe and the USA.
