Nice things people have said about me and my work!
or, How to make an Australian blush...
Shân Veillard-Thomas
Managing Director, Professional Coaching International
Julie, I found you with endless patience, a sense of humour, and a willingness to work as soon as you possibly could, to alter details endlessly, and maintain a business relationship of trust and enjoyment while pursuing and achieving a high level of professionalism. I liked how you made suggestions and guided me - I especially appreciated your touch of genius in choosing the colour (teal) which sets off the site, and for obtaining the Optima nova font so quickly. I have continued to receive praise for the site.
Shân later added:
Julie has yet again pulled rabbits out of hats and produced top quality professional work, against the clock, by preparing documents for a major international project. Always with a smile, always tirelessly and always on shedule with never a moan, but with suggestions that I trust her with totally. it is a joy to work with her and I count her as a key part of my team.

Julie is a gem; she’s talented, genuine and a joy to work with. I wished to add to my TLC Powertalk business, with a small concert site. Julie produced a neat and nifty little site for me. It was exactly what I asked for. I’m proud to know you, Mrs!

Montserrat Perez-Parent
Curriculum, Quality and Outreach Manager, New Directions
Julie learnt her new role very quickly and soon became highly respected by her co-workers for her willingness to help. Her excellent IT skills soon became apparent and Julie developed IT based systems to streamline much of the work done at the Curriculum Support office. Julie had a significant impact in the monitoring and tracking of learners. She created an Access database to track every Skills for Life learner from the point of first enquiry to their results when achieving a qualification. Julie is a joy to work with, consistently pleasant, and always tackles all assignments with dedication and a smile. She was definitely an asset to the organisation as a whole, as she was always happy to help in other areas. Many of her colleagues sought her advice and support, particularly in IT related matters. She is very well organised, diligent in her paperwork, easily reachable, and always on time.
Giles Manton

Julie’s sublime writing ability means that even the most complex material is explained clearly and concisely. This, combined with her dedication to develop high quality training material and easy-going nature, make her a huge asset for any project she’s involved with.
Roger Cranstone
RPC Consulting
Julie is a pleasure to work with. Very conscientious with the ability to build strong working relationships. Julie has a fantastic command of the English language which is very valuable for training and development content design.
Andy O’Cain
Lecturer, Open University
Julie’s decision to return to study shows a commitment to personal development. Whilst many students struggle to mix work with their studies, Julie has attended every tutorial and handed in every essay on time. She is a very capable and intelligent student who is eager to offer her thoughts. She understands the dynamics of working in a group and is tolerant and supportive of others. She takes a questioning and evidence led approach to her studies and is very willing to question ‘common sense assumptions’. Her written work has been of the highest quality although Julie is always eager to seek supportive criticism and act upon it.
Dr Gretchen Poiner
President, Independent Scholars Association of Australia
With skill and grace Julie performed well beyond the hopes and expectations we held of this appointment. Office management and organisation were executed seamlessly. Our website was established and maintained using her electronic skills which have also made it possible to produce professionally our publications. Her keen eye as copy editor and her appreciation of clarity and elegance in the use of language has provided security in the processes of publishing. Julie’s goodwill, ability and commitment to work with people has always produced harmonious associations. Interacting easily with diverse personalities is a consummate skill and one that I have greatly appreciated. She is quite task-focussed, her sense of responsibility often leading her to undertake and reliably complete more than is required or asked of her. One of Julie’s great assets is her capacity to work effectively and with calm and purpose even under pressure. Such behaviour cannot be underrated; not only does it ensure that she achieves her objectives, it inspires confidence and a sense of the achievable in others.
Gosh!
