My Team
There is no way to do it all- not alone.
The Executive Coaching and Counseling Team at the Institute is the reason that we can do what we do! Each member of our team brings different skills, talents, experience and wisdom. Together, they provide a well-rounded unit that enables us to serve a wide variety of contracts and services.
We are better together
Julie Hruska
In 2010, Julie had an awakening. She realized she’d been sleepwalking through her life, following a path that was not of her own making. From that moment on, Julie set out on a journey of self-discovery that led her to reinvent her life and career- guiding others through that very same process. Julie now specializes in assisting her clients to engage their best lives by developing high performance habits in the areas of career, relationships, health and finances. In addition to empowering individuals to become the optimal version of themselves, Julie works with corporations to help them develop high performance cultures.
Julie is certified by the High-Performance Institute as a High Performance Coach and Strategist. She also has a master’s degree in Education, specializing in curriculum design and instruction, enabling her to comfortably walk her clients through the development and implementation of solutions and reconfigurations.
