What People Say About Our Workshops
I worked with Julie at a time when I was looking to raise my visibility as a mentor to therapists, and grow my community using Facebook advertising in a way that remained authentic. I was up against deadlines and overwhelm and I needed help! We kicked off with a strategy day together and when I look back I’m pretty amazed at just how much was created on the day. We devised a very detailed strategy and took the strategy through to a very workable plan with manageable chunks and clear dates.Julie continued to support me through the implementation in more ways than I could have hoped, including coaching me through creating videos in such a way that it just feels like a doddle now! What I love about Julie is that she is immensely knowledgeable and practical and yet she really cares.If you are ready to take the action yourself, then Julie is your woman for guiding you expertly through to a successful conclusion.I can’t recommend her highly enough – she is amazing!
I came to Julie Hall at a time in my business when Ginger was successful, but I didn’t know how to take it to the next level.I worked with Julie across a range of activities including developing strategies that are appropriate for Ginger. Julie combined ‘tough love’ (which was never too tough) with an enthusiastic and enrolling spirit to help me not only develop a new set of strategies, but also to understand how to do the same in the future for myself.Implement the strategy. It’s overwhelming to find a new direction for the business as that requires new actions, new suppliers and new content. Julie hand held me through my confused state and has shepherded me into a place of clarity and certainty about my next steps. I cannot recommend Julie more as a whole hearted, brilliant, experienced and highly knowledgeable expert to take your business to the next step.
I came to Julie Hall at a time in my business when Ginger was successful, but I didn’t know how to take it to the next level. I had developed a great 1-woman show, with a handful of friends and collaborators to deliver business, but I was aware that there was a huge amount of potential to grow my online business. The problem was that I was a blockage. My knowledge and business skill had run out and I was feeling lost about next steps. Enter Julie Hall! As someone who has built more than one successful business, Julie was someone who I admire and felt like an obvious choice to help me on my way. I have certainly not been disappointed. Over four months Julie has worked directly with me to: - Analyse the successes and weaknesses of my business as it stood. We celebrated the good bits and unpicked the strange and unsuccessful bits.- Learn about online best practice. Julie’s knowledge is right at the forefront of everything that’s going on online – and she is incredibly generous at sharing her knowledge. This woman knows her stuff.- Develop strategies that are appropriate for Ginger. Julie combined ‘tough love’ (which was never too tough) with an enthusiastic and enrolling spirit to help me not only develop a new set of strategies, but also to understand how to do the same in the future for myself.- Strengthen my marketing brain. Spending time with Julie is always a highly value adding opportunity to learn about language that sells. As an example, she spent an hour or more talking me through a list of my suggested blog articles and giving me direct feedback as to which would work, which wouldn’t and why. I now feel like I have a marketing brain!- Implement the strategy. It’s overwhelming to find a new direction for the business as that requires new actions, new suppliers and new content. Julie hand held me through my confused state and has shepherded me into a place of clarity and certainty about my next steps. All in all this has been an incredibly fruitful relationship, which I am confident will add another £50k to my business in the coming couple of years alone. As to the long-term impact, priceless. I cannot recommend Julie more as a whole hearted, brilliant, experienced and highly knowledgeable expert to take your business to the next step.
I was in a place where I needed to clarify, move things to a new level and set some new goals as I moved into the future. I was feeling lost, overwhelmed and couldn’t see the wood for the trees. I was burnt out and needed a new sense of direction.She quickly finds your marketing potential and works with you, challenging you when needed, to come up with the most effective strategies to move forward within your own unique set of circumstances. Julie is inspirational, challenging, kind and genuinely wants you to win.
Great presenter, very generous with information, a good balance of “how to” detail and overall strategy and detailed insight of how to create multi media products. A very authentic presenter.
The workshop uncovered a world that I thought would be very complicated but isn’t. It’s completely achievable … The course itself was pitched just right for me.
Attending Julie's Wordpress workshop was the best investment I have ever made - the site I was able to build for my storage business www.holwellfarm.co.uk has generated £'000s of storage business we wouldn't otherwise have had.
I attended Julie's workshop on social media marketing strategy yesterday. It was my third workshop with her, and just like the previous two, was exactly what I was looking for. The ideal combination of understanding the wider context and the granular detail. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie's courses and am sure I'll be back for another one before too long!
I attended Julie's course at the British Library. It was an incredibly rich experience which I continue to recommend to colleagues. More than this though it is based on a genuinely empowering idea - that many technological tools are now high-quality and free if only you know how to use them. Julie genuinely "teaches people how to fish" and this is a rare and wonderful quality
Great training as usual. Julie is always at the cutting edge of all things to do with technology and business.
