When Julie Foucht decided she needed to take her coaching business seriously, she hired a high-end coach and learned to ‘market like a man.’ She doubled, then tripled her income in less than a year, but felt drained, uninspired and restless.

Urged by Spirit, she embraced her essential ‘Womaness’ and birthed a new way, The Art of Feminine Marketing. Today, Julie teaches female coaches, teachers and healers who are frustrated with traditional marketing, how to build 6-figure businesses through the Art of Feminine Marketing.

The discussion of the day goes well beyond the differences between marketing to men and women. Julie touches on how she uses her “wounding” experience to bond with clients, how she listens to her business and why she’s a coach who is always in need of coaching herself.
