About

Julia Carden

094 (ZF 1102 81102 1 003) Based on my own journey and experiences I am passionate about supporting people grow and develop through establishing deep connections. This is what led me to be an Executive Coach and more recently a Coaching Supervisor. I have a deep interest in self-awareness and how it helps us develop and progress, by enabling firstly self-connection and then connection with others. This approach is underpinned by my PhD research into Self-Awareness.

I have worked with a diverse range of senior leaders, middle-managers, and future leaders in both the Public and Private Sectors. My core values of competence, authenticity and choice underpin my work. I pride myself on the ability to build strong rapport and empathy with my clients and I ensure, before taking on an assignment, that all parties are content, comfortable, and clear with the relationship.

My coaching approach is developmental in nature as I work with the whole person whilst holding an awareness of the systems they are working and living within.

Alongside my coaching and supervision practice I am a visiting tutor at Henley Business School teaching on the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching, MSc in Executive Coaching and Behavioural Change and head up the Professional Certificate in Coaching Supervision.

My own development journey is ongoing, and I am passionate about my own CPD so invest in regular coaching supervision (both individual and group) and keep up to date with a range of webinars. I believe continual work on self keeps me at my best for my work. In my spare time, I value spending time with my family, and supporting my son in is burgeoning eventing career.
