The authentic, candid and open discussions that support forward movement have been the best part of this experience. This experience has been transformational with creating a space for development, connection and vulnerability. I feel more confident in supporting my team. The wealth of experience and commitment from the group is inspiring and has helped shape my leadership journey.

I have enjoyed the experience that this group has to offer to help me navigate difficult situations.

I love joining these sessions, it has been a learning journey for me. Listening to others and discussion real issues in a safe space that fosters support for one other and also inspires both personal and professional growth. There have been so many great ideas, tips, and recommendations that have helped me through some difficult situations.

I found my time in Leadership Coaching to be a great way to refresh myself as a manager and leader. The time spent review tools and techniques gave me an opportunity to reset my skills while improving on abilities to be a leader within our agency. I found the training to be of great value to me and my employer. Julie Lancaster at Lancaster Consulting is an asset to our team. If we need coaching, training, or program analysis, we choose Julie first. She is sincere and authentic, bringing engagement and fun to our team every time. Her passion for growth and development is inspiring and she is phenomenal at connecting with each participant to meet individual needs and styles. I can’t say enough good things and I highly recommend her for coaching, team building and training needs.

This group coaching intensive has made me take a pause and do some leadership training for me again…it’s been great to remember the purpose of why I work and to know that I must bring joy to my every day in order to help those I work with. I also got to meet some pretty amazing leaders in our community!

Julie was a fantastic partner in our strategic planning retreat; she set an inspiring and productive tone for the rest of the retreat that was valuable for moving us in the right direction. Her activities pushed us to reflect on hard questions about our organization and the value of change, which was just what we needed. Thank you, Julie!

Working with Julie has been an incredible experience. She brought clarity, confidence, and actionable strategies to my leadership journey. Through thoughtful guidance, personalized coaching, and a deep understanding of organizational dynamics, Julie helped me navigate complex challenges, strengthen my communication, and lead with greater purpose and impact. I’ve grown tremendously both professionally and personally, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their leadership to the next level.

Thank you, Jeff Kennedy, for leading our group through such an inspiring and impactful leadership program. It has been wonderful to see the excitement and energy in the group as they leave the room after each session. That enthusiasm is truly a testament to the value of the program and your exceptional guidance. Your dedication and care for the group’s growth is deeply appreciated.

I appreciate Julie’s networking skills in accommodating my request for team building event for my staff. I needed an indigenous mind and voice in addition to Julie’s awesome facilitation skills. I was very grateful to hear that Julie worked closely with Ms. Rose Toehe (Navajo/Ute) on these types of requests. Julie and Rose facilitated a wonderful event for my Native American staff. The staff keep talking about how Julie and Rose managed to bring two worlds together to make one. We are ready to take on our Native American Summer Bridge program! Ahe’hee!

Julie is like a campfire; her glow and warmth bring people together in a productive and meaningful way. She uses her skills to expertly lead the group (training) toward knowledge and insight. We’re fortunate to have such an experienced and gifted trainer in our community.

Julie has a magical way of reconnecting teams by encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones and exchange honest feedback within a safe space. Her engaging and entertaining facilitation cultivates cohesion that sticks, long after a retreat is over. Our leadership team is now able to lock arms, support each other, and tackle difficult issues together.

This year was hard. Because of the pandemic, my well-functioning team had to quickly adapt how we interacted with each other and our client base, while not losing our ability to deliver high quality support. As the year wore on, I wanted to invest in the team on a more personal level. Beyond the traditional (and obvious) courses and videos, what could I do to keep them engaged and poised to jump on the next opportunity? I opted for team coaching from Lancaster Leadership. Over the course of a few months, we started to see a change in our approach to work and to our individual professional development. With some reluctance, we shared our leadership philosophies at the conclusion of the sessions and recognized that we are all leaders in some way. Importantly, we came together to support one another on our individual leadership journeys. This experience has empowered our team, rededicating ourselves to our collective vision of success. From the few who embraced coaching the minute I mentioned it, to the most hesitant and suspicious team members, everyone eventually agreed that the experience was helpful to them. I would love to be able to do this again with my team (the coaching, not the pandemic).

I had the opportunity to join one of Lancaster Leadership’s group coaching programs, and I am very happy I signed up. This was simply the best coaching/leadership program I have participated in. Julie’s positive and supporting style matched with an engaging team dynamic created a unique learning experience. I absolutely recommend this program.
