Meet Julie O, founder of Kairos
Whether you are looking for a coach for you, development for your team, or are interested in creating positive change in your company culture, here are some notes about my approach and what it’s like to work with me.
I believe in personal development and fostering strong relationships.
I focus on nurturing connections with my clients, to ensure you feel acknowledged, valued, and supported. I also believe in the value of straight talk; we will get to the heart of the matter and what may be holding you back.
Driven by a passion for learning and helping others, I am committed to my clients’ success.
Together, we will look at situations through new lenses.
We will get clear on the strengths and behaviors that serve you and your team. We will look at overcoming obstacles, even where you may be in your own way. We will identify ways to gain positive momentum. We will look at challenges as opportunities for growth, exploring different perspectives and approaches, which will lead to new possibilities and a path forward.
We will look at who you are and where you want to go.
Collaboration is key as we work towards identifying your goals for success. Whether discovering, guiding or supporting, my goal is to empower, motivate, and help you achieve your objectives.
I find great fulfillment in my work, engaging with people, giving my all, and being fully present. I have found that thought-provoking questions prompt reflection. We will engage in candid conversations that challenge you to explore your beliefs and inner dialogue to transform yourself and the world around you.
Leveraging Experience in the Field
My background is rooted in the corporate realm, including diverse experience in both large and small companies. Over the past 30+ years, I’ve been a consultant and coach both internally and externally, with leaders on all levels – with individual team members to executive leaders in the C-suite, as well as with small business owners and non-profit organizations. This has given me a good sense of what people in all levels are experiencing. In response, I have developed key strategies to help them navigate through the myriad of challenges they may face.
Working with top leaders and being a part of their teams has helped me truly understand the impacts workplace culture can have on a company. I’ve guided groups to create constructive cultures out of teams that were struggling, and helped to improve their existing cultures.
As an organization development leader and executive coach, I deliver innovative solutions to address each company’s needs. This can be cultivating employees’ talents, aligning people’s initiatives with business and industry drivers, connecting strategic goals with creative solutions, and supporting cultural values.
After working at two Fortune 500 companies and being mentored by outstanding leaders, I sought out professional training to deepen my perspective and solidify my experiential knowledge in the fields of OD and Coaching. I earned my master’s degree in Organization Development (MSOD) from Pepperdine University and a coaching certification from the esteemed Hudson Institute of Coaching. These were significant milestones for me that underscored the importance of a growth mindset, the commitment to which is essential in developing quality culture.
When we work together, I apply decades of knowledge, experience, and personal brilliance in creative and innovative ways to help you and your teams become even more effective.
Words from Kairos Clients
"Natural Enthusiasm"
Julie knows how to engage with individuals, small groups, and large teams with the appropriate amount of enthusiasm. She has a natural ability to get people to open up about their struggles, interests, motivation, and roadblocks. Julie is the type of person who is truly interested in everyone’s story. She genuinely cares, listens, and remembers information that is important to that person, department, or team.
I’ve watched Julie work with individuals who were on last-chance agreements and become top performers. I’ve seen the impact of her efforts in coaching people, and businesses thrive after working with her. ~ HRIS Director
"Just what I needed"
I’ve worked with several guides and coaches over the years. Julie stands out for being rock solid. I felt without direction and wanted anchoring.
Julie’s confidence in my ability to let go and move on is exactly what I needed during my process to explore new options, take some risks, and finally find a path that resonated with my goals and values. On top of her strength, Julie’s enthusiasm is infectious. ~ Writer
"Listener & Innovator"
Julie will challenge and push you beyond your comfort zone. She makes you think and encourages you to dig deeper into your thoughts. It is in these profound reflections that a clearer vision of your goals emerges. The effort invested in this introspection is what propels you towards personal improvement.
Julie has exceptional listening skills. She truly hears you and understands your perspective. Collaborating with Julie is a transformative experience. It goes beyond the standard coaching encounter; it’s personalized to you, ensuring that you emerge as an evolved version of yourself. ~ HR Director
"Positive Impact"
Julie has been a key component in developing my leadership style, subtly guiding me to my own conclusions, providing counterpoints, counseling and insights, helping me uncover what I value as a leader and what I need from my leadership.
Her patience as I initially pushed back on this assistance to focus on “real work,” is something I try to emulate with my own teams. The contribution she has made to the positive feedback I now receive as a leader, can’t be overstated. The only difference I could hope for, is that I’d met her 10 years earlier. ~ Director, Infrastructure Engineering
