What My Clients Say
"Everyone that gets to spend time with Julia, will benefit."
I have been working with Julia Arndt for the last year as my executive coach. As a result of working with Julia she taught me to take back control of my time and change my mindset with regards to where I derive my value at work. These small tweaks resulted in exponential growth in my career and improved my overall well being. Julia's intimate knowledge of working with high performing individuals coupled with her expertise and passion to invest in others resulted in my 1 hour per week with her to be my most fruitful hour every week.

I'm a big Julia fan. I like to describe her as an exec coach meets therapist. A peer of mine recently asked if I went on vacation to 'optimize' my life. Really, a big part of it has been my sessions with Julia. The work we do together allows me to tap into the why of the behaviors that aren't serving me and stressing me out. Since working with Julia, I am prioritizing slowing down, waking up earlier, saying no more (in a way that serves everyone) and am just generally more mindful about how I approach work and life (saying this as a practiced yogi and mediator).

Julia has been a wonderful coach. She’s pushed me to dig into multiple parts of my life- both career and non-career related. While she takes her work very seriously she has an incredibly calming presence and is thoughtful with each question and exercise she suggests. Her approach to coaching has been instrumental in helping me decide my next career steps, while simultaneously providing me with tools for self-improvement. Highly recommend working with Julia in any capacity!
Priscilla Tyler
Before I began the coaching sessions with her, I mentioned that I would like to discover myself. I got exactly that at the end of the sessions. Her coaching is like meditation, meaning very intuitive and simple that anyone can try and tweak to perform great. She is open to feedbacks and changed her coaching style to fit my needs. She provides a holistic coaching experience in that she incorporates both the career and personal habits, behavior, and ambitions. She sure is a high performance coach! Since my sessions with her, my performance has been great and have learnt to strike a balance in my personal life too. Am glad that I took the sessions with her and I am definitely going back.

Julia is an amazing coach and I would highly recommend her! I worked with Julia one-on-one and every session I took away an immense amount of value. I still am ruminating on questions she asked almost a year later. Julia strikes a balance of meeting you where you are while also helping you get where you want to go! I am tremendously grateful for Julia. After, out one-on-one coaching ended she's stayed connected with me and checked in and even provided valuable insight helping me navigate a big role change. I know that I'll constantly be working with Julia and would advise anyone else who needs a coach to do the same! I am more productive, higher performing and certainly more intentional in managing my energy because of working with Julia.

Julia has helped me immensely throughout a recent career (and life) transition, by asking the right questions and providing the right tools to uncover the most meaningful path forward in my career. She is an excellent listener with the ability to empathize, balanced by her ability to be rational and challenge me when necessary. I leave every coaching session with Julia feeling a sense of clarity - I cannot recommend Julia enough!
Gabrielle Heath
I started working with Julia about a year ago and have never looked back. My main motivation was to improve my time management, prioritisation and stress management skills at work and I am pleased with the results. I am now much more mindful about what I spend my time on and ensuring that I integrate self-care. My work and personal life and health have improved and I have achieved tangible benefits in each area.
Julia is professional and warm and always ensures she knows what I want to get out of a course of sessions and each specific session. She provides valuable tips and offers an objective and insightful perspective which I don’t get from anyone else and which can encourage me to look at things in a different and life-changing way!
Natasha Almuli
I just completed 10 coaching sessions focused on career development with Julia. Julia has been tremendously helpful in guiding/coaching me as I started my first few months at a new company. She's really tuned in to how you're feeling/thinking and asks insightful questions that challenge your assumptions/makes you think about things with a different perspective. In addition to her high-EQ abilities, she's able to approach sessions in a structured way that leverages relevant well-known frameworks (psychological, career, etc.) and tools that aim for tangible results. I would highly recommend her!

Julia has the ability to easily and compassionately relate to the busy & hectic reality of the professional corporate world. Being a professional herself she comes with a natural understanding which allows her to partner with her clients, deeply understand their surroundings and work towards a fitting and reasonable improvement.
Everyone who gets to spend time with her will benefit.

Julia's unique experience (she is a former Googler, Yoga teacher and qualified Coach, fluent in German, English and France) really helped to create a great connection between us and enabled her to emphasize with my situation like no other coach. I already notice results by implementing little changes into my routine as recommended by Julia. I enjoy working with her.

I met Julia right after leaving corporate America and while in the midst of a major geographic move. Though I had no idea what would come next, she expertly helped me navigate the possibilities and set goals to help me take steps toward success. Julia’s natural empathy is one of her greatest assets. It’s reflected in her active-listening skills, sharing of relatable experiences, and gentle way of holding me accountable. After a few, short months I’ve been able to prioritize what’s important, cut out obligations that weren’t, and feel more confident about my journey.
Heather Cotanch
I have recently completed working with Julia in a one-on-one setting. From the very beginning, working with her was completely customized to my needs. As a result of our work, I have learned valuable skills to implement during the inevitable stress life brings. She provided compassionate accountability as well as an honest observation. I have examined certain areas of my life from a different perspective as a result of our work together and I was impelled in the direction I wished to go as a result.

Brittany Glasnow, Events & Experiences Lead, Google
I found Julia at a time when I was at a really low point, struggling professionally with long term burnout, lack of confidence in my role and overall unhappiness. Before starting coaching with Julia, I had tried 2 coaches and multiple women development courses, but still didn’t feel any better. I was starting to feel hopeless.
Instantly upon meeting Julia, I felt she was an amazingly genuine person, focused on understanding my core issues and what we could do to tackle them right away,
Her coaching style was different from the rest, I felt she truly understood what I was going through based on her own experiences. Julia never makes you feel judged, she is very caring, understanding, and a great listener. She explains the science behind why you feel the way you do and gives you actionable feedback to make a difference to your life and schedule.
Upon switching roles at Google, Julia hosted me in Lake Tahoe for a 2 day coaching retreat and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. She so thoughtfully created a 2 day itinerary focused first on letting go + releasing the past, and second on starting fresh + setting myself up for success.
Julia procured the most amazing spot for us to focus on our daily coaching. She set up private yoga sessions, sunset ceremonies, manifestation sessions and various exercises to focus on my ultimate goals and passions to work through my past traumas and set me up for success moving forward.
My intention for the trip was to feel lighter and calmer by the conclusion of our time in Tahoe. I can confidently say I feel so much better. My mind is clearer and am more excited to move forward into the future. I am so glad I invested in myself and took this time to reflect between roles, when I needed it most.
I can’t thank Julia enough for the amazing hospitality and impactful experiences she crafted to fit my personal needs in order to make this experience so impactful and unforgettable.
