more about me. julie marquis.

To continue my point, I think very few of us can truly make long term sustainable progress if we feel like we’re in an unsafe situation where there is high risk if you’re sharing openly. I think the other reason why I like the “no BS” or direct approach is that things are easier if we as humans know where we stand and what the facts of the situation are. It’s much harder to navigate challenges, understand relationships, manage team dynamics, or deal with workplace stressors if the facts are being withheld. Things are significantly easier if people have the facts, because when the facts are in front of us we can figure out what to do with them instead of trying to figure out what is happening when there is a lot of abstract and obscure information. 

One of the interesting facts about me is that my education background is really bizarre. I only attended school for 3 grades through elementary school and high school. The rest of the time I was home-schooled. Throughout my home-school years, I never completed another year of school. I would do some studying or reading here and there, but never actually completed another year. My lack of foundational primary years in education made advanced education very challenging for me. Not to mention having an undiagnosed Learning Disability and undiagnosed ADHD). I was always an average student but I was disciplined and studied my butt off, and I ended up with a Masters degree.

Now the stuff you may want to know about whether we’d be a good fit in working together or not. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist by training, I’ve worked with individuals ranging from Human Trafficking Survivors, to C-Suite executives, and everything in between.
