I have had multiple mentors over the past decade or so, and each has played a vital role in the growth of my Plumbing and HVAC business, as well as my personal development. Among them, Julie stands out as a true expert in leadership. She is fiercely dedicated to her clients and goes to battle for you, ensuring that big wins are always within reach. 

Her guidance has been instrumental not just in shaping my business strategies but also enhanced my leadership skills tremendously. I genuinely cherish her support and feel incredibly grateful to have her in my corner, not just as a mentor, but as someone I can rely on at any time of the day. If you are serious about elevating your business and personal growth, I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Area Operations Manager – Enbridge

Having been in the civilian workforce for almost a decade after retirement from the military, I thought that I had a good grasp on how to continue a path of upward mobility—but translating my evolving skill set into language that resonated with employers was still a challenge. The job market felt like it had shifted beneath my feet. Joel became the mentor and guide I didn’t know I needed.

Joel easily removed the guesswork from the hiring process, helping me find clarity and purpose at each stage. His resume writing expertise allowed me to showcase my military and civilian experience in a way that employers truly valued. Through strategic interview preparation and honest feedback, he helped me understand not only my strengths—but also the areas where I needed to grow. Ultimately, he was responsible for three major things in my professional career: Continued confidence in my chosen profession, How to interview and answer really hard questions, and how to leverage my experience and translate that experience into a resume and conversation that civilian leadership could understand and quantify.

Joel is candid, honest, and exceptionally reliable. I trust him completely because he genuinely put my interests first. You cannot ask for a more authentic and supportive coach. Thank you, Joel.
