Become Your Best Self

Strengthen Your Influence

Foster Team Collaboration

People Don’t Leave Jobs, They Leave Other People. And When Followers Stop Following, Leadership Ends.

Influence can’t happen when no one is listening
No one really listens to anyone they don’t like or trust
If your character stinks, you’re not likable or trustworthy

It’s hard to get anything done when team members avoid you or tune you out
Relational tension damages team dynamic and disrupts productivity
As a leader, your dysfunction becomes everyone’s dysfunction

THAT’S WHY I HELP YOU

Gain the Kind of Character and Interpersonal Skills It Takes To Have Real Impact and Lasting Influence

I get it. You’re tired of not getting the respect you need from either your team or those in leadership above you. Even if you’re in top leadership, you still have to answer to someone. Your board, those you serve, your direct reports—they all have to like and trust you before they’ll follow and work with you.

And that’s hard. Hard because of inability to show up well with others. Hard because of personality conflicts. Hard because of your own character flaws that keep sabotaging your personal and working relationships.

That’s where I come in.

I use a proven process to help you gain awareness of your own character issues and deal with them so that you can:

show up well,
resolve conflict in a mature manner
be that leader that everyone wants to work with instead of that one they all want to avoid!

"Dr. Tofilon did a great job providing executive coaching for me. She was very conscientious at making sure that I set my overall and intermediate goals. Dr. Tofilon did not force her judgment or opinion in any situation. She would always encourage me to seek my own resolution in any situation because she is guided by the maxim that ‘only a trainee can initiate change and that change belongs only to a trainee.’ She actively listens and genuinely empathizes, while making you dig deeper and deeper."

"Julie’s excellent coaching and heartfelt support fueled my passion, purpose, and commitment. I learned to not only to make SMARTER goals, but achieve them during a time of transition. Cheered on after each step forward, I felt energized and equipped to identify and overcome obstacles, including procrastination and negative self-talk.”

"At the bottom of the pit, I met Julie. She helped me begin the long climb out! She loves pastors, is a very gentle soul, and has this way about her which helps guide and direct with intention without feeling like pressure.”

Sarah Fravel

Lead Pastor/church planter

“As a newcomer to coaching, I appreciated Dr. Julie helping me understand the coaching process and how to work together to maximize its impact. Her way of examining the challenges that I was facing and helping me identify and review solutions to them worked well for me. My biggest gains and focus areas included improving delegation, creating stronger accountability within my team, and driving greater collaboration within my own team as well as with other teams. Dr Julie was well-equipped to help me address these areas and make improvements in my leadership style.”
