JULIE FUIMANO, MBA, BSN, RN, CSAC

Why is it that some of us have to go through things the hard way? That's how I would describe the first part of my adult life. I didn't know what I was supposed to do “when I grew up.” Sound familiar? I floundered early in my career from business to psychiatric nursing where I found home for awhile until the healthcare climate and three layoffs would steer me into staff development and then to human resources and recruiting until I completed my MBA and started my coaching company in November, 2001. Of course, now, looking back, I can see how every experience has shaped the person I have become and was necessary for my development. I have a purpose for being here. And now I am on a mission!

The tragedies I have endured along the way – overcoming drug addiction, a grave illness, divorce, the untimely death of my ex-husband, as well as those three layoffs – have taught me well. I am a true student of life and seek to find answers to life's big questions. Because I struggled, I sought answers, and eventually, those answers found me.

The power to create change is within you.

I have always believed that we have the power to create our own happiness. My quest was to discover those powers and learn how to use them! And now, through my work as a coach, author, and speaker, I empower, inspire, and educate YOU to access YOUR power to change your life so you can experience peace and happiness and live life filled with passion and purpose. I believe that unhappiness merely brings your attention to something that isn't working well and you can use it as a catalyst for change.

No one becomes successful overnight.

It takes years to get to know yourself and come to understand your capabilities - and then learn to live up to them, shedding what the world would have you be for the person who you know you can be.

A transformation, or personal evolution, takes place behind the scenes for years before the success becomes evident. You cannot compare your inside with someone else's outside.

Everyone has a story. It's not what happens to you; it's what you learn from it and what you do with that learning that matters.

This is the basis of my work. My goal is to help you see your own brilliance and hold you to the highest standard of yourself so you can be all you are meant to be. Together, we will help you shine your light on the world eliminating the (internal) barriers that keep you from being all you are meant to be and from achieving the success you desire.

There's greatness within each of us. Your purpose in life is to discover your greatness, develop it, and get out of your own way so you can share it with the world. As your Coach, that's what I do for you.

I am known for being highly compassionate, loving, direct, and astute. I pull no punches and walk over nothing. Life is short and there's no time to waste. My ability to provide clarity and vision inspires individuals to achieve more than they ever dreamed possible. The question is, are you ready for more? Are you prepared for happiness?

Today, I live in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania with my loving life partner Lou, my incredible son Josh, and our five joyful cats.

Your partner for success,
