Julie Wilder Coaching Solutions
Everyone needs direction, you’ll find that here.
Practical coaching for family communication, school concerns, life transitions and personal goals.
Welcome. I’m Julie. I’m so glad you’re here. Perhaps something needs to change at home, you’re working through a difficult season, or you’re ready to give a personal goal some attention. Coaching gives us a place to begin.
I bring nearly 10 years of experience as a Family Peer Advocate (formerly certified), along with 27 years of parenting, including raising children with special needs.
Helping you help yourself.
I work with parents, grandparents, caregivers and individuals who want practical help with the challenges in front of them. We’ll begin with conversation: what’s happening, what you’d like to change, and where to start.
School struggles, difficult behaviors, boundaries, sensitive conversations: sometimes we need a new skill, a different approach, or help finding resources. Sometimes we need room to breathe and enjoy the people we love.
My approach brings together teaching, coaching and mentoring. We’ll explore useful tools and practical steps, with attention to your well-being along the way.
Seize Your Moment.
Begin with what matters to you
Maybe something in family life feels harder than it used to. You may be navigating school concerns, caring for someone else, or wondering how to give your own next step some attention.
You do not have to have it all sorted out before we talk.
A practical next step, together
We can begin with what is happening now and what matters to you. Together, we can make room to think, look at the support and resources available, and identify a practical next step you feel ready to take.
I’ve developed Parent Map and Guided Path to Success to bring structure, tools and reflection to the work. You don’t need to choose a program before we meet. We can explore what would be useful for your situation.
Practical tools and resources
Find worksheets, reflection prompts and practical tools you can use at your own pace, whether or not you choose coaching.
Getting ready for a school meeting?
Gather your child’s strengths, your observations and the questions you want to bring, so there is room for what matters to your family.
