Coaching offers a rare pause

A chance to step back, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Coaching isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating space for reflection, discovery, and growth. Through our work together, clients cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and confidence, building the clarity and intention to navigate whatever comes next.

about Julie

I spent more than 20 years as a lawyer in Silicon Valley, including two decades at Google, where I last served as Vice President of Legal leading a team of over 300 legal professionals. Over the course of my Google career, I discovered that what I valued most was supporting people: mentoring, coaching, advising, and leading, especially through times of change and uncertainty.

Today, I bring both my professional background and personal journey to my coaching practice. I partner with clients as they explore career development, leadership and workplace challenges, and life and career transitions, creating space for clarity, growth, and lasting change.

Learn More About Julie

  • "If you are serious about your professional growth, working with Julie is one of the best investments you can make!"

    “Working with Julie Haniger has been such a transformative experience for me!  Julie brings a wealth of experience, but what really stands out is how genuine and empathetic she is, you can just tell she truly cares and wants you to succeed.

    Instead of just helping me fix quick, day-to-day problems, she really digs into foundational issues. I’ve made a ton of progress with addressing my anxiety and building my career confidence working with Julie.   She guides rather than instructs, helping me find my own path and identify my actual strengths. More importantly, she created a space where I feel completely safe to open up. She even sprinkles in her own experiences and vulnerabilities, which makes the whole process feel so much more authentic and supportive. Julie makes me feel like I can actually achieve the things I’m aiming for, and I’m so grateful for her help.”
