Individual Coaching

At JHA, one-on-one coaching is at the heart of our work. We partner with leaders and employees to not only tackle immediate challenges but also uncover and address the underlying causes. Together, we build a clear, step-by-step plan for meaningful change. Our approach blends proven methods with practical tools so you leave with lasting strategies—skills you can return to whenever new challenges arise. Above all, we are committed to your success and work alongside you every step of the way.

Team Coaching / Mediation

We focus on two core areas when working with teams: relationships and change.

Relationships
Strong, healthy relationships are the foundation of effective teams. We work with high-potential leaders, underperformers, and even the most challenging personalities to help peers, managers, and direct reports overcome obstacles and find common ground.

  • Beyond individual coaching, we also help teams establish best practices and clear rules of engagement that support trust, collaboration, and long-term success.

    Change
    Leadership transitions, downsizing, and new initiatives can unsettle even the strongest teams. We help groups rebuild confidence, strengthen dynamics, and re-energize around shared goals—so they can adapt quickly and move forward with clarity, optimism, and measurable results.

Innovation and Branding Workshops

Strategic Innovation Workshop

Our Strategic Innovation Workshop is designed to generate bold, creative ideas that also make business sense. Built on the proven framework of Design Thinking and informed by Julie’s deep experience in innovation leadership, this workshop helps teams develop concepts that are strategically aligned, achievable, and valuable for both the short and long term.


  • Better Branding Workshop

    Drawing on Julie’s CMO-level marketing expertise, the Better Branding Workshop explores every dimension of brand-building—from messaging and imagery to positioning and category expansion. Teams leave with sharper, stronger strategies that unlock greater value from brand equity.

    More Than Workshops

    Both programs double as powerful team-building experiences. By tackling real business challenges together, teams strengthen collaboration, deepen cross-functional trust, and share in the success of ideas they’ve built collectively.

Presentation and Negotiation Workshop

Every presentation is, at its core, a negotiation. Whether you want your audience to learn, buy, support, donate, or change behavior, the way you communicate your ideas determines your success.

This workshop strengthens participants’ ability to deliver their message with clarity and impact—across settings that include formal presentations, team meetings, and high-stakes negotiations.

  • Participants build practical skills in presentation design, slide creation, and delivery, while also learning negotiation tactics that elevate their influence.

    By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

    • Analyze and anticipate audience concerns and pain points

    • Frame and communicate ideas with clarity and confidence

    • Manage nerves and engage listeners effectively

    • Influence outcomes in a way that creates a “mutual win”
