About Julia Curtis

I resigned from my job (after 25 years with GE, Genworth (a GE-spinoff) & Quintiles/IQVIA) to start my own business and pursue my passion for coaching. Those 25 years provided me amazing experiences, learnings, skills, and relationships. Now I am taking the best of what I learned and focusing it on the work I love most. I help leaders set up for success in a new or expanded role, be more effective & confident in their current role, and navigate leadership complexities in a positive & authentic way.
