    How to Set Healthy Boundaries When Starting a New Job

  • Cami Rush - CEO & Co-Founder of Fenntessa swimwear

    “Gen suggested I focus my time on work that fulfilled and energized me. Through her coaching program, I created a boundary that separated energizing work from draining work. This allowed me to delegate tasks that made me feel tired and drained. Now, I’m mindful of whether tasks are best suited for me, or are better suited for someone else. This allows me to grow my business while still doing everything I love."

  • Joanie Duguay, Female Leadership Program Client

    ‘’I had the chance to be coached by Julie. Now, thanks to her approach, I have learned to take responsibility as a leader, to trust my resources and gained clarity on my needs and boundaries which has totally changed my relationship with others.”

  • Dr. Kaila Holtz - Physiatrist and Medical Director at Triumph Health

    ““That doesn’t work for me” was a new phrase in my vocabulary after working with Genevieve. Boundary setting has never been one of my strengths and I was feeling more frequently taken advantage of in professional settings. Without the skills to speak up for myself, having a lack of clear boundaries was creating a lot of stress for me. I wanted to avoid being labeled as “difficult” and as a result I was becoming more and more resentful of those around me.

    After working with Genevieve I was able to identify friction points where I felt out of alignment both at work and at home. I created a script that invited a discussion rather than put people on the defensive. My new skills have empowered me to find a solution that works for me and those around me. With boundary setting skills, I have found the voice I always knew I had, but didn’t know how to use.

  • Julie Tighe, Executive Producer

    ‘’I had the privilege in the last few weeks to follow the Transformational Leadership approach offered by Julie Cardinal. This approach went well beyond my expectations because it allowed me to better understand my needs and boundaries as a leader and also certain mechanisms in my personal life as well. It gave me tools to quickly identify when I am triggered and come back to my center.’’

  • Hannah Liu, Career Coaching Client

    “Boundaries clarify my personal values with others, demonstrated through communication. Gen guided me through this process, where I practiced saying no to energy drainers and intentionally saying yes to energy givers. She also helped me craft a boundary script that allowed me to check in with myself before communicating with others. Thanks to Gen's support, I feel more confident in continuing to set and communicate boundaries in my own life.”
