The following are some testimonials and endorsements from people that Jules has worked with:

I attended Jules’ Moments of Clarity workshop in the superb settings of Beamish Hall on a beautiful Spring day. A day that will live long in the memory for a multitude of reasons.  Justifying a full day’s course can be somewhat challenging for the self-employed both from a time and cost point. However, Jules presented a very persuasive argument to attend and I am delighted she did.  Her style is relaxed, personable and warm. The messages that Jules brings and the content covered are highly pertinent to anyone from the lone trader to the owner and operator of a large organisation. There is laughter, times of intense contemplation, joy, revelations and realisations during the day – all delivered with a genuine feeling of understanding and care.   The conclusions from the day, both from your personal interpretation and from Jules’ insight into the ways of the working environment and inter-personal relationships are amazing to experience – never has a course been more aptly named!

I would like to give you this testimonial and I would like you to share it with others.  I want you to know the huge impact that you have had on me personally and my business.  Sometime last year, even though my business was steadily growing, I became disillusioned.  I was in a very bad place personally and it was having an impact on my relationship with my business partner and ultimately my business.  Following, what turned out to be a huge misunderstanding with my business partner Paul, I felt I had lost my self worth, my drive, my energy and my passion.  I can’t begin to describe the damage that had been done to a once strong relationship.  Eventually Paul and I decided to invest in you.  I made the comment that I felt you would be compassionate enough to care and understand but tough enough to give me a kick up the backside. You were this and more.  I felt so unbelievably different as soon as we had finished our time with you.  This has continued to grow every day.  Every day I feel better, stronger and so full of life and energy.  My business is going from strength to strength, so much so that we planned to close in January to re-point the building but have had to put it off.  So many good things are coming to us now.  You said they would.  You were right.  I have also been able to start to diet, but I don’t see it as a diet I just feel something massive has changed in my head and I want to eat good, nutritious food instead of rubbish.  The most important thing though is that Paul and I have our fantastic relationship back and our relationship is even better than before.  All I can say to anyone out there is don’t think about this, just do it.  Put the effort in and you will find the most amazing results.  Jules, thank you from the bottom of my heart, our hearts.  Linda Mather, The Chamonix Clinic

“I recently had the pleasure of employing Jules as a management coach. My career and management skills have since exceeded my expectations and I can only put this down to Jules expertise and personable approach to every client. A true professional, I would recommend Jules to anyone.”   Gavin Elliot

Jules was an incredibly supportive and encouraging Manager who put a great deal of focus on team and individuals development.  Jules has a strong instinct for business and highly intuitive people skills in that she can very quickly identify a persons skills, strengths, weaknesses, etc and using that knowledge brings out the best in her team. She combines intelligence, empathy, determination and a broad life experience in her work which is rare and highly valued. Jules certainly identified and helped bring out many of my strengths and I would credit her significantly with improving my confidence, management skills and career prospects.”  Beverley Hunt

Jules is a real get the job done professional, amazing to work with, inspirational and very honest and open. Excellent communication and written skills, able to work at all levels. I would be more than happy to work with Jules again.  Ian Tomkins, MD, P M Advice

The team building day was quite possibly the best money I have ever spent in the last 5 years of running my business. I was extremely sceptical, as were the rest of the team, with comments such as “When does the tree hugging begin?” and “This is a waste of our time!” After the day all the team agreed that the work done by U Turn was fantastic and we don’t know how we managed without them. The initial emergency coaching was only a quick fix and the team building allowed us to fully address all the issues and formulate an action plan to become an amazing organisation.  Justin Turner, MD, CarrotMedia

I really enjoyed Jules training event, the content and delivery were excellent and very relevant.  Many self employed business people don’t invest in themselves; to be successful we need look at ourselves and develop our skills to be competitive.  I left the session empowered and made a decision which has already changed our business direction.

I have recently been through the ‘Moments of Clarity‘ programme with my team and am delighted with the results. The process that Jules took us through was enlightening, humbling and in some cases quite emotional, but by the end of the programme the whole team is now able to view themselves, their responsibilities and their place in the team in a whole new light. I would not hesitate to recommend this programme to anyone who manages people and wants to enhance the productivity, dedication and motivation of their team.  Marianne Whitfield, Cobweb Information

We held a “Moments of Clarity” two day event with our staff team. This had been after a turbulent couple of years with difficult changes occurring within the work place.  Jules Rutherford ensured all past issues were discussed and “laid to rest” in a very supportive way. It has led the team to build very good relationships with each other and has placed the pride back in the work that we all do as everyone has realised that changes occur for the good of the group. We have all continued to build on what we have learned about ourselves and each other and transmit this into our working environment. New ideas which were discussed together have also been implemented since the event and this has been great for staff to see that their ideas have been taken seriously. Thanks for helping us all move on and become focused on “doing the work” again. Sarah Dobson, Project Manager for Playgroup Network and MD for Kids CIC

Mentally I’m in a much better place having cleared the air with my manager and I feel I have a better relationship with her now which is very important. I’ve made a conscious effort to communicate more effectively and manage more projects/tasks myself whilst keeping her in the loop for reference.   Thanks again for all your help! I’m going into work everyday with a smile on my face now and with my head held high.  Anon
