Business and Executive Coach, Healthcare Professional
Julie Entwistle is a Certified FocalPoint Business and Executive Coach and works with business owners and professional service providers.
Julie helps her clients by building their business confidence and competence so they can run, grow, and develop legacy practices that are focused and optimally successful. Julie knows that when professional service businesses do better, their clients also benefit.
Prior to joining FocalPoint, Julie was an independent owner of her own healthcare practice before becoming co-owner and operator of Entwistle Power Occupational Therapy. At Entwistle Power, Julie worked with her partner to successfully merge, build, and sell the practice. She managed operations and workflow to provide exceptional and quality services to clients and customers.
For the last 20 years, Julie has been coaching clients through health events and leading other therapists, teams, and students. As a "therapist," she has training in motivational interviewing, reflective and active listening, facilitated self-reflection, and knows how to meet people where they are at based on their presenting stage of change. As "owner," Julie remembers lacking business confidence and competence until she hired a coach. Then, working with her coach she developed a compass, and the business thrived.
Academically, Julie has degrees in Health and Health Science from the University of Waterloo and McMaster, respectively, and an MBA from Wilfrid Laurier. She is currently attending Queens as a part-time Doctorate student. Julie is also a Chartered Director and has Board and governance experience.
Julie grew up in a franchise family, so business is in her DNA. She has raised four amazing daughters who are off writing their own stories as young adults. Julie is active and fit. She has a black belt in Karate, has played many competitive sports, believes in showing kindness towards all living things, and is happiest when helping others, building wellness through fitness, or engaging in activities outside.
