Who we have helped

“I highly recommend Julia as a coach for whoever wants to grow in his career. Julia has undoubtedly the skills and wide experience for executives coaching. I truly hope our paths will cross again.”

“I cannot recommend Julia Macmillan highly enough she is an excellent coach and group facilitator. I have grown professionally utilising the learning and reflective practice. Julia allows colleagues to reflect and implement learning both professionally and personally.”

“Julia has been the true professional, guiding our workshops and personal coaching to positive conclusions. Julia follows up after the event to complete an excellent end-to-end service.”

“Julia has run a number of workshops, staff engagement sessions and produced resource materials. The workshops and engagement sessions were informative, engaging and fun; and always received rave reviews from participants. Julia’s expertise combined with her natural, personable style has enabled groups to feel comfortable and to truly reflect on their experiences with the right level of support and challenge. Julia has supported us during a period of transformation by being a gentle catalyst for change.”

“I have just been appointed Strategic Director. I want you to know that much of the confidence and ability that I have is down to the work that I did with you. So I thank you for that.”

“In order to meet new challenges and plan for growth it meant the introduction of change to all employees. Without their “buy in” our future growth plans would be harder to achieve in the timescales allotted. It is also fair to say staff in general are change adverse and my staff were no exception. Julia is a consummate professional. Her preparation and delivery were frankly outstanding. By the end of the session the staff had completely gone through 180º. This exceeded my best expectations. As a consequence, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julia and The Learning Quest.”

“Recently I attended a Mentor Skills Development Workshop where the content, the materials and the facilitation was done by Julia. Julia’s expressive style, her enthusiasm and her rich experience made the content relevant and the workshop was professional, high value against the time commitment and fun. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julia and The Learning Quest.”

We invited Julia to help the entire team with time management in the summer of 2021. We are a fairly unusual organisation and she seemed to understand our foibles straight away. The taught session was very useful, with one to one follow ups, a summary at our team meeting, and follow up activities with individuals. Julia was very empathetic, but firm, and offered additional coaching on unrelated matters. I would strongly recommend Julia.

I have worked with Julia and the Learning Quest for several years. She has provided a wide variety of "soft skills" training in a thoroughly professional style. Feedback from all levels of the organisation is extremely positive and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
