Welcome back ROCK MOVERS!
Today’s conversation is with my personal friend and fellow Texan, Julie Jones. Julie is an etiquette expert and sought-after public speaker and Chief Encouragement Officer of Today's Professionals Consulting & Development. Her company specializes in executive leadership and interpersonal skills training. Julie’s client base includes a wide variety of organizations from HPE and American Airlines to SMU, Texas Tech, and Tulane universities as well as local banks, law firms, and accounting firms.
With a robust background spanning 15 years in education, Julie has held pivotal roles as both a classroom teacher and a private school administrator, to entrepreneur. She built a plumbing company from its inception to a thriving enterprise, eventually culminating in its successful sale in 2021 as a million-dollar-plus revenue-generating entity.
Her eclectic experience has given her a unique perspective on how people are either the most valued asset or the costly liability of a company.
In this engaging conversation, Coach K and Julie Jones explore the themes of overcoming fear, personal growth, and the importance of community support. Julie shares her journey from facing her fears to helping others live their best lives, emphasizing the value of authentic connections and personal branding. They discuss the significance of the journey over the destination and the need for balance in life, ultimately highlighting the power of support and the importance of being a light for others.
