Meet Julie Cremoux

 

We recently connected with Julie Cremoux and have shared our conversation below.

Julie, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

My journey into life coaching began as a personal endeavor to understand and improve myself. I took a hard look at my life and the patterns in my relationships, which led me to pursue certification as a life coach. Initially, it was about personal development, but as I progressed through my training and began working with practice clients, the positive feedback I received was incredibly affirming. It helped me realize that I had found my place and purpose in life.

My confidence grew as I immersed myself in learning, particularly in areas like NLP, which resonated deeply with me. The more I practiced and developed my skills, the more I recognized the strength of my competencies. This skill-building was crucial in building my self-esteem as a coach.

However, one of my biggest challenges was seeing myself as an entrepreneur. For a long time, I struggled with imposter syndrome, feeling like I wasn’t cut out for business ownership. I was hesitant to fully commit, always thinking I might be better off working for someone else. The turning point came when I realized that no one else could make my business happen but me. I stopped looking for external validation and took full ownership of my journey, deciding to go all in. This decision, though it took two years, was a significant milestone in my development as both a coach and an entrepreneur.

Through this process, I’ve learned that confidence isn’t something that just appears—it’s built through skill, practice, and the willingness to fully commit to your path.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

When I became a certified life coach after realizing that I wanted to break certain patterns in my relationships and develop myself on a deeper level, it gave me the confidence to fully commit to coaching and to develop my brand, “LifeisBeautiful.me”

What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to empower empaths and coaches to spread their light, protect their energy, and build deeper relationships with themselves and others. I believe that every individual has unique superpowers, and my mission is to help them harness these abilities to create meaningful breakthroughs in their lives. My approach is holistic, focusing on understanding every facet of the self and guiding clients through transformation, creativity, and expansion. One of the most special aspects of my work is seeing clients connect the dots and uncover blind spots they weren’t aware of. The transformation they experience is incredibly rewarding to witness.

Currently, I’m focused on expanding my reach through workshops and programs that support coaches, particularly those seeking accreditation through the International Association For Coaching (AC). I’m also passionate about helping others navigate the complexities of the accreditation process, having personally experienced the challenges that come with it. My upcoming workshops are designed to provide practical support and guidance, making the process less overwhelming for aspiring coaches.

In addition to my work with empaths, I’ve begun working with young adult athletes, helping them develop the mental resilience and mindset needed to excel in both sports and life. Having been a volleyball coach for the last 13 years, this new integration of life coach and volleyball coaching has been incredibly fulfilling. I see the positive impact that mindset coaching can have on athletes performance and overall well-being.

Through “Life is Beautiful,” I continue to pour my heart into helping others grow, just as I have grown on my own journey. My work is a reflection of my belief that, with the right mindset and support, anyone can transform their life in beautiful and profound ways.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back on my coaching journey, three key factors have significantly shaped my development and success:

1. Seeking Supervision and Mentorship:
Supervision and mentorship have been crucial in honing my coaching abilities. Working closely with an experienced mentor provided me with invaluable guidance, feedback, and accountability, allowing me to grow in ways I wouldn’t have achieved on my own. This relationship helped me identify blind spots, refine my techniques, and navigate challenges with confidence.

2. Commitment to Continuous Learning and Professional Development:
Embarking on a Master Practitioner course and consistently engaging in learning opportunities has been instrumental in deepening my expertise. The two-year commitment to advanced certification and my dedication to attending workshops, watching coaching demos, and participating in various training sessions have kept me updated with the latest practices. This continuous learning has enriched my coaching approach, making me a more versatile and effective coach.

3. Dedication and Consistent Practice:
Practicing consistently has been the backbone of my growth. Taking every opportunity to coach and being flexible with my schedule to accommodate early morning classes across different time zones have demonstrated my commitment. The experience of being coached by amazing professionals has provided me with diverse perspectives and techniques, which have further enhanced my coaching style.

Advice for Those Early in Their Journey:
For those just starting, I strongly recommend seeking out a qualified mentor or supervisor who can guide and challenge you throughout your journey. Regular mentorship sessions will help you grow exponentially and build your confidence. Additionally, never stop learning. Invest in advanced certification programs, attend workshops, and stay curious about new coaching methodologies. Diversify your learning and be open to exploring different techniques that can enhance your versatility as a coach.

Finally, practice consistently. Take every opportunity to coach, even if it means adjusting your schedule to accommodate different time zones or learning opportunities. Engage in as many real-world coaching scenarios as possible, and experience being coached yourself to gain insights from the client’s perspective. This dedication to practice and learning will not only improve your skills but also help you build the confidence needed to excel in your coaching career.

By focusing on mentorship, continuous learning, and consistent practice, you can create a strong foundation for success and make a lasting impact on the lives of those you coach.

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?

In the past 12 months, my biggest area of growth has been learning to ask for what I’m worth and not accepting jobs or salaries from a place of scarcity. I’ve become significantly bolder and more direct in my communication. This shift has enabled me to handle tough conversations more effectively and even make the difficult decision to “fire” a client or turn down a supervision job that 2 years prior would have been a dream to have. I’ve found a better balance and established clearer boundaries. This journey required a lot of self-awareness and the development of practical strategies to implement all my new learnings.
