About Me
Are you looking to make positive changes in your life? Are you seeking a new direction? Are you stressed and want to take back control of your life? I have helped many people re-assess their situation and get the life they want.
How can I relate to you?
My name is Julie Schladitz and I am a coach, with a keen focus on wellbeing. Not only have I helped hundreds of people in various industries through career transitions but I also faced a few difficult transitions of my own.
One of the toughest transitions was leaving my career as an HR executive in order to have more time at home with my children. My self-esteem plummeted; I had a crisis of identity and really had to work hard to get back in control of my own life.
I had to work out what really motivated me and how to change my environment, goals and direction to feel fulfilled again.
What qualifies me?
I have a Master of Science in Organisational Psychology from the University of London and am a trained business and career coach (International Coach Federation PCC certified). With a career in HR spanning over 25 years and having worked in international organisations such as Gucci, INSEAD and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), my work has brought me into contact with a wide range of people including company executives, individuals wishing to reorient their professional career at midlife, clients preparing for retirement, and people seeking meaning in their life.
In recent years, my passion for wellbeing and the effect of workplace stress on mental health has driven me to discover more about the benefits of happiness in our lives. My journey of exploration has taken me through the fields of positive psychology, mindfulness and even dementia. This research has inspired me to create the “Happiness Revisited” programme, which supports individuals seeking a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Personal and Professional Philosophy
During an interview recently for an online blog, the interviewer asked me “what would you like to have on your headstone?” Immediately, without taking any time to reflect, I replied “she cared”. I believe that this phrase sums up my personal and professional philosophy perfectly.
The desire to facilitate my clients’ personal development is woven deep into the fibre of my being.
It is my firm belief that by treating people with empathy, non-judgement and respect, you can really make a difference. You can help them help themselves. Moreover, by harnessing each person’s individual resources, lives can be changed and dreams fulfilled.
Using a diverse array of methods in line with client needs – ranging from in-depth discussions, psychometric tests, self-report questionnaires and even hypnotherapy – I work together with my clients, helping them gain better self-awareness and understanding in order to get the life they want.
How do I work?
I live in Switzerland, but am happy to work with you anywhere coaching you via Skype, if we can’t meet in person. I speak English, French and German.
