Welcome to Congruent Leadership: An indispensable executive development and wellness resource giving leaders a new way to live and lead.
Hi, I’m Julia.
I’m a psychology-trained executive coach and the founder of Congruent Leadership.
Each week, I share tactical guidance on leadership, company building, and executive wellness inspired by real coaching conversations with venture-backed leaders.
If you’re here, it’s probably because you know that good leadership is actually really hard. We all think about leadership a little differently and anyone can call themselves a leader. But living the fullest vision of how you want to lead while delivering business results, untangling team dynamics, navigating life, and performing at the highest level? Well, that’s in a league of its own. We also know that it doesn’t always go the way it looks in your head when you actually try to go out and do it. That’s why I started Congruent Leadership.
How it started.
I grew up in Silicon Valley and spent over a decade working in tech and venture capital. I’ve lived the early days of building with companies like Salesforce and Aera Technology, and I’ve had a seat at just about every side of the table. Now, I help ambitious leaders navigate some of the most high-stakes moments in business and life.
I’ve lived all over and now I call the little coastal town of La Jolla, CA home. When I’m not writing or in session with clients, you can certainly find me in my kitchen deep in discussion and cooking up something deliciously healthy to share with the people I love the most in this world.
What to expect over here…
Congruent Leadership is an executive coaching firm that works with startup leaders all across the world. Now we’re excited to bring those learnings to your inbox.
Each week, we explore the common yet ever-challenging problems that leaders face. This publication aims to provide you with a radically different lens. By unpacking the person behind the title and the dynamics behind a business problem, we distill complex experiences into simple explanations and tactical solutions that can often determine whether your company grows or dies. Starting with you.
This is Congruent Leadership is more than just a couple emails a week, it’s a strategic investment in your life and business.
We know that time is your most finite resource so we want to make this as impactful as possible. That’s why we’ve designed our content into 3 distinct categories:
Our Foundation Series is made up of long form articles that are free, forever. Once a month, we breakdown the fundamentals of our philosophy on leadership development and company building to help you assess who you want to be as a leader across all aspects of your life.
Power Sessions are weekly posts that serve as your quick, micro-lessons in leadership. These are the skill building sessions intended to make explicit the things that are usually left implicit. In short, we tell you the things that your team wants to, but won’t, to help you grow the skills to do better.
In our Leadership Lifestyle section, we explore the personal alongside the professional to help you build congruence. We do the research so you don’t have to and only recommend the things that we think are worth it.
No matter what function, industry, or stage of growth you’re in, there is a little something for everyone. Everything here is designed to unlock you quickly and compound your growth over time. So, read posts religiously, listen to them when you’re on the road, or save and stack them for a deeper dive.
