Hi, I'm Julia - Coach, Leader and Mother

My Mission

It’s simple: to help leaders — especially women -  navigate change, growth, and leadership in a way that’s true to who they are. 


Rooted in my own leadership journey, I show up as a sparring partner — 

offering challenge, new perspectives and support in a safe, trusted space. 


It’s the kind of partnership I wished I’d had at times, helping my clients make empowered, authentic decisions 

across their careers and lives.


I empower women to own their worth, trust their voice, be courageous and lead with clarity, confidence, and impact — 

creating success on their own terms.

Transformation starts from within

"I would recommend Julia to anyone going through a life change, facing a challenge, or looking to turn their ideas into action. She’s an exceptional coach.” 

Mary Francis, U.S.

From Corporate Life to Coaching with Purpose

Cherry blossom pathway symbolizing Julia Ruessmann’s leadership journey and career transformation


I know what it feels like to lead, to stretch, to juggle, to thrive… and sometimes to doubt.


For over 25 years, I led in some of the most demanding global industries — managing billion-dollar business units, transforming strategies, and often being one of the few women in the room. 


It was dynamic and rewarding, but underneath I faced the same questions we ask ourselves: What’s next? Am I still growing — or just grinding?


Julia Ruessmann, executive and growth coach, reflecting on her dual career and motherhood journey

Life as a dual-career and a mother

My career and personal life grew side by side. 


When our son was born during an international assignment in the U.S., I was leading major change by day and reading bedtime stories by night.


Like many women, I carried the invisible load — proud of what I was building, but often exhausted.

Pathway with signpost in nature, representing a pause, realignment, and new direction in work & life

A Pause That Became a Turning Point

In 2021, I chose to pause — not because I had to, but because I was ready. 


Ready to listen, to realign, to ask: What now?

That space became a pivot point. 


I trained as a Co-Active Coach, deepened my own growth, and reconnected with what energizes me most: supporting others ! 


And help women rise with clarity, confidence, and courage.

Bridge across water, representing clarity, courage, and moving forward in leadership

Where I am now — and why I coach

Today, I bring every chapter of my journey into my coaching. 


As an Executive and Growth Coach, I work with executives and female leaders — mid-career professionals, change makers, and those on the rise — who want alignment, impact, and a leadership style that feels true to who they are.


I offer a space where you can exhale, reflect, be courageous, and grow. A space to move forward on your own terms — with clarity, confidence, and purpose. 


If this resonates, I’d be honoured to walk part of your journey with you.

My coaching philosophy - the JAR Method

Julia Ruessmann, Coach and Creator of the JAR Method coaching philosophy

Journey. Align. Rise

Growth doesn’t mean starting over —

it begins by honoring the path you’ve already walked.


The JAR Method stands for Journey, Align, Rise — a powerful, personal framework designed to help you navigate leadership and life with clarity and purpose.


  • Journey – Reflect on and honor your experiences, strengths, and the challenges that have shaped you.


  • Align – Reconnect your actions and leadership with your values, aspirations, and authentic voice.


  • Rise – Step forward with clarity, confidence, and impact — leading and living on your own terms.


It’s a transformative path  to grow into what’s next — not by becoming someone else,  but by becoming more of who you want to be.
