Testimonials

“I’m so happy we got a chance to collaborate this past week. It was truly a great session and a consensus across the team that you did a fab job. It’s so important to be able to carve out space and really connect as a team on a human level, and this was possible because of your great facilitation.”
Global Head, Global Pharmaceutical Company
“Hi Julia, The whole program was a great experience. The learnings, sharing of experiences and discussion were unforgettable; I can still feel the energy you transfer in moderating our virtual sessions. I truly loved it. Thanks again to you and the whole team behind. Hope to see you in more programs soon.”
Leader, Global Pharmaceutical Company
“I enjoyed the Insight discussions. Obviously, it triggered some extremely intense, but necessary discussions. … You did a fantastic job in keeping the team focused while provoking them just enough to open up more than they would usually do.”
Senior Leader, Global Insurance Company
“The course took a fresh look at presenting and provided and structured approach on planning and preparation. The course provides guidance, simple and actionable ways of improving presentations. This course is so engaging – I learned so much during three online sessions with Jen.”

“Thanks for yet another great session. Really learning a lot from your sessions and wished I had had the opportunity to do them years ago! I had been thinking I was not at all resilient and unable to bounce back but you made me realise my ‘buckets’ are not that empty at all and with a bit more work can become full. Always so much to get from your sessions, thank you very much – I could listen to you all day.”

“Thanks again Julia for the energy, honesty and insights you brought to the group these past two days. I’m still in shock at how you managed to keep so many people engaged and learning over 2 days virtually! I feel thoroughly refreshed and equipped after the training to immediately apply some of the learnings you shared.”
Senior Leader, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“Thanks for the training of today. I have to say that I was a bit reluctant to do this virtually, but it nearly felt like ‘live’.”

“On behalf of our organising committee, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the awesome job during our kickoff meeting. I received lots of positive feedback.

It was truly amazing to have you at our kickoff meeting and not only to be able to get the invaluable advice and hints from you but also
to absorb all the positive energy, enthusiasm and optimism that is so much needed these days.

BIG THANKS!!!”

Country Manager, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“I have just attended the virtual Insights course led by Julia and it was fantastic!

The session was so informative and beneficial to understand myself in greater depths and how best to interact with others. Regarding the virtual format, the duration was spot on (two hours before lunch, hour break and two hours after lunch).

Zoom worked very well and overall it was the best virtual training/meeting I have attended.”

Business Integrator, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“During the sessions with Julia I have understood very different powers of our mind that we are born with. I have realized that through our education at home/school/friends we seem to impose on our mind kind of glasses – and we are seeing the world & others through those lenses.

During the few sessions with Julia for the first time in my life I could consciously remove “my glasses” and tried the different lenses. Guess what – I discovered many new beautiful colours!

The most impressive experience was when I have realized for the first time in 50 – years that my mother has exactly the same communication style as me. I have never seen it before.”

Corporate Coaching Client, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“The leadership programme you ran last week was the best training I ever attended during my long career. Such a pleasant atmosphere, an inspiring trainer/participants with great topics that still resonate in my mind.

I have already shared the main points and interesting ideas with my supervisor and have highly recommended this training for all team leaders around me. Thank you again for a great training session and also for materials you have sent or recommended.

I wish you many further successful educational events appreciated by participants like me.”

“Julia is a powerful facilitator, she creates a safe environment with warmth and humour allowing people to see the strength of difference and how great communication provides a platform for performance and ease within a team. Thank you Julia for your knowledge and expertise – it was a fun, insightful day and I’ve definitely brought home new actions and perspectives.”
Program Manager, Dreamflight
“…there are times in our careers and life when we can call out particular events that have been extremely influential. For me attending your Impactful Influencing course is one of them. As an example (too many to mention them all!) I have really advanced promoting my personal brand. I just want to recognise and say “thank you” for being so authentic in your training style/delivering.”
Senior Business Integrator, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“Julia has helped me greatly through my journey of life/career coaching. After initial meetings with three different coaches I decided to work with Julia based on her understanding of my situation, empathy, experience, interpersonal style, and positive attitude.

My personal journey has been full of surprises for both of us; these have all been approached with objectivity, positive encouragement, and creative ideas. One critical success factor is that Julia has helped me make decisions on my journey without forcing her opinions on me.

I have also learned that everyone needs a regular coach to support them throughout their entire career, not just the difficult times – I plan to continue to work with Julia in the future. I would definitely recommend her in this capacity.”

Senior IT Manager, Global Pharmaceutical Company
“I have known and collaborated with Julia Carter for a number of years, both in her role as a learning and development consultant, as program developer, and as trainer. It is a delight to work with Julia. She is highly professional, has expert knowledge, has a very customer oriented approach, is quick, flexible, and very impactful.

Just this year she has co-created an innovative, interactive series of web conferences, in which 500+ supervisors have participated, with highly positive feedback. I can recommend Julia as an excellent collaborator in the Learning and Development domain for globally oriented, Fortune 500 companies.”

Director, Global Learning and Leadership Development, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“This programme is amazing, really felt like I knew everyone in my team in a much better way afterwards, made me feel more confident in myself at work and also in my personal life. The profile got me spot on and helped me to recognise areas that I didn’t realise I was well versed in and it also highlighted areas where I can make a change.

Overall it is such an inspiring course and really makes you feel like no matter what is your top ‘colour’ you are essential to the function of the workplace.”

IT Manager, Global Pharmaceutical Company
“The fact I could relate it to both my work and personal life and really it’s things you already know but are normally just passing thoughts…if that makes sense…the training helps to make you (me!) more focused on how best to use my energies more positively. And to look inward at my own behaviours and perhaps take a step back at times.”

“Just wanted to say thank you very much for a truly brilliant and inspiring session last week. As I mentioned to you at the end of the day, you were able to provide us with a set of tools that we could walk right out the door into a meeting and use. Previous trainings I have been on at another firm have been so generic that it has been hard to apply and when asking the presenters for initial pointers to get us going, we have been met with blank looks.

You know, a bit like them telling us to bake a cake using a bit of flour and the odd egg but not giving us a basic recipe to use. Your training gave us the know-how to bake a chocolate sponge, cheesecake or lemon meringue pie according to the situation thrown at us as well as the etiquette to host the whole tea party!”

“A big THANK YOU Julia for your work with our team at a crucial part in their change journey.

Your ability to be directive and instructional yet never disempowering (giving people helpful ideas about what they can actually DO to change), brought Insights to life in a way that I’ve not experienced before. You offered us much more than pure facilitation – role modelling ‘emotional engagement’ at its best!

It has, I am sure, helped a critical mass of people to step up, understand their behaviours, style, and take personal ownership of their destiny and impact.
I have high hopes that our agreed programme of workshops – provoking the LT to work differently…. followed by the rest of the department – will have very positive organisation-wide impact.”

HR Project Manager, IT functional transformation programme
“Insights provided us not only with an understanding of how we can better communicate with each other, but an opportunity to take a step back and reconnect as a team. So important in a busy small office! I’m really grateful to Insights and to Zestfor for the support they’ve provided to Dreamflight – and for a fun day too.”
Director, Dreamflight
“I just wanted to let you know I ran my All Company session yesterday and used a lot of what we covered in the training session. I even changed my chair in the office so I could sit up right for ‘my Queen like pose!’ Although I was nervous I really enjoyed running the session, so I wanted to thank you for helping me prepare for this.”
Impactful Influencing delegate, Global Pharmaceutical Company
“I just wanted to send a quick email to say a massive thank you for the amazing day you put on for the team. It was so insightful and I enjoyed self reflecting and being a bit vulnerable, which is a real credit to you for making everyone feel so comfortable to share. I’m sure you already know this but you are absolutely brilliant at what you do and I really appreciated it!”

“I just wanted to say thank you for today. Not only for the training and for enabling such a great team conversation, but also for being a mediator and saying things that both my colleague and I needed to hear to move towards a better working relationship. Given all the people you meet every day, I am impressed and appreciate the attention you can give to a single individual and their issues.”
