Julie Ford

Julie Ford is a certified life coach, speaker, trainer, and author of the book Creating Time and Energy. Her passion is championing teens and their parents as they navigate some of the richest yet most challenging transitions to independence. Together they enjoy every stage and see the treasure available in each moment.

Her background at large corporations (like GTE, Arthur Andersen, Right Management and Deloitte) paired with the love of parenting her two girls has led her to combine the best of the board room with the best of the family room. The more complaints she heard from hiring managers and the media disparaging all the younger generations, the more fired up she became to assist BOTH sides with life skills training and fresh perspectives.

Her programs, like Enjoy Every Stage group coaching, Tools of Life radio show and Tools of Life by Julz of Life videos, and Parent/Teen Communication coaching are changing lives one good human at a time. Her sense of humor, attention to what isn’t said, and her use of creative analogy create connections with her clients that move them forward towards the answers they seek.

Julie resides (and practices daily shenanigans) in southern Wisconsin with her husband Rico and two teen daughters.
