About the author

Julie Starr is an executive coach, mentor, writer and speaker. She works with individuals and organisations to help them clarify a sense of purpose and remove obstacles to progress.

Author of two best-selling books on coaching, The Coaching Manual and Brilliant Coaching, Julie is also a passionate advocate of mentoring. She says:

‘Mentoring isn’t about changing someone, or getting someone to do something differently, it’s about waking someone up to who they really are. The mentor’s challenge is to distil their own experience into bite-sized chunks of wisdom, help or guidance in ways that ultimately help them to discover that.’
