Hi, I’m Julie!
Certified transformational leadership coach
Julie Cardinal is a Transformational Leadership Coach with over 20 years of experience in high-pressure corporate environments, including the VFX and animation industries. Her career spans from both established studios and innovative start-ups, where she led teams of 150 and managed multi-million-dollar productions. She knows firsthand what it means to succeed at the highest level while silently burning out inside.
Today, Julie brings together her deep executive experience and her lifelong commitment to personal and spiritual growth. She supports awakening women leaders who are navigating burnout, misalignment, and an inner calling for something more. Women who have achieved success on paper, yet feel their current life no longer reflects who they truly are.
Julie helps her clients bridge the gap between outer success and inner truth so they no longer feel they must choose between professional achievement and personal fulfillment. Through her coaching, women learn to reclaim their energy, set healthy boundaries, reconnect with their purpose, and redesign their lives in a way that feels aligned, spacious, and sustainable.
Her approach blends Human-Centered Leadership principles, emotional intelligence and intuitive insight. Julie guides executives and entrepreneurs to lead from a place of authenticity, compassion, and clarity, cultivating work environments where both performance and humanity are honored.

Hi, I’m Bea!
As an Executive and Leadership Coach (ICF PCC), I help leaders cut through complexity, lead with intention, and create measurable impact—without losing their humanity in the process.
With over two decades at a Fortune 50 tech company, I’ve led global teams, scaled enterprise-wide learning strategies, and driven multimillion-dollar initiatives. But my real sweet spot? Bridging business strategy with human development to help leaders and organizations grow better—together.
My approach blends operational insight with deep coaching expertise, grounded in emotional intelligence, psychometric tools, and somatic methods. Whether supporting executives through pivotal transitions or helping teams shift culture from the inside out, I bring a head-heart-gut approach to everything I do.
Originally from Europe and fluent in English, German, and conversational Spanish, I’m at home navigating global organizational contexts and diverse perspectives.

Hi, I’m Bradley!
With over 25 years of leadership and consulting experience, I bring together strategy, psychology, and humanity to help leaders navigate complexity with clarity and confidence. My career has spanned senior roles—including Head of Organization and Change at Sky Group and National Operations Manager at Zurich Financial Services—where I led large-scale transformations and culture shifts.
Guided by curiosity, compassion, and courage, my coaching blends evidence-based practice with deep empathy. I support executives and senior leaders stepping into new roles, leading change, or rebuilding team cohesion, helping them grow not just in what they do, but in who they are as leaders.
Based in Europe, I also coach expatriate leaders adapting to new professional and cultural landscapes. As a two-time world champion in canoe polo, I bring resilience, focus, and teamwork to everything I do.
My mission is simple: to help leaders align people, purpose, and performance—so they, and their organizations, can truly thrive.

Executive & Leadership Coach
Need to develop your purpose, company culture, or employee voice?
Well, that’s our job.
Because while most transformational coaches take a mission-first approach, we’re all about connecting and aligning your business mission with the humans that serve it.
Why?
Because aligning people and business strategies into collaboration is what creates truly powerful and impactful organizations.
That’s the secret sauce inside any successful enterprise.
So how do we get there?
We’ve seen organizations struggle with talent engagement and retention for many different reasons.
It could be:
Having too much to do with too few resources
Juggling deadlines, budgets, and deliverables
Lacking leadership development opportunities
Many times leaders intend to move the needle forward, but have no idea how to get there. This means they put off transformational processes until ‘later’ and start focusing on business results — not team performance.
We believe intention is good, but it’s nothing without action.
