Things that Would Have Paralyzed me Two Years ago Hardly Affect me Now

December 23, 2021

After two years of gathering my courage and showing up in spaces because I wanted to be in them – not because I was invited – something amazing happened. I stopped getting stuck in and owned by failures, setbacks, and disappointment. Now, when I realize I’m not someone’s “cup of tea” or struggle while speaking […]

Julie Boll Consulting is Growing!

September 22, 2021

July was a huge month for Julie Boll Consulting! It’s tempting to skip over milestones when they happen because we don’t want to appear boastful or we don’t want to somehow jinx the win.  But, as we’ve learned in the Dare to Lead program: Daring Leaders consistently practice gratitude and celebrate milestones and victories. So, here […]

My Top Two 2020 Lessons …and how to discover yours

February 18, 2021

One of my lifelines in self-employment is my annual reflection. This time of reflection requires me to pause and answer important questions honestly.  Not only do I use this time to reflect on what I’ve learned, but I celebrate what I’ve accomplished.  I hold space to acknowledge my work and my worth. And I take […]

The Power of the SFD

December 1, 2020

In a recent integration planning session, I asked a workshop participant to share her SFD* with me. Her body tensed, and her voice sped up and took on a frantic quality. Her SFD told her that she was callous, weak, and petty. When I asked her to tell me the rest of the story- her […]

Tales from the Arena

August 3, 2020

Tools for the COVID-19 Arena

May 15, 2020

My COVID-19 SFD is just one sentence long: My business will fail.

May 5, 2020

We all make up stories about why something is happening, and it usually revolves around us and our shortcomings. These stories are our SFDs (Shitty First Drafts) and often have gaping holes in them. I learned about SFDs (Shitty First Drafts) from author and researcher Dr. Brene Brown. Essentially, our SFDs are our secret beliefs […]

COVID-19 Permission Slips

March 18, 2020

Personal permission slips have been in my mental health and courage-boosting toolkit for just over six months. Permission slips are a tool for intention setting I learned about from Dr. Brené Brown and her Dare to Lead™ program.
