Julie McCoy is a professionally-trained life coach embarking on a new phase of her professional life. After 35 years as a trial and appellate attorney, Julie was called to coaching when she witnessed the power that life coaching has to transform lives. Julie’s most fulfilling years as an attorney were those devoted to serving pro bono clients, helping them transform their lives by solving intractable legal problems that kept them from living lives of joy and satisfaction. Through that work, Julie first found the greatest joy of her own life—helping others to “find their wings.” Searching for an opportunity to summon that sense of joy and fulfillment in her retirement from law, Julie enrolled at Coach Training Institute, the world’s oldest life-coach training and certification organization. She completed CTI’s certification program in November, 2017 and immediately after launched Dragonfly Coaching.
