About Julia Monaghan, MSOD
Hi! I'm Julia, and my expertise (and passion!) is in people: how they think, how they work together, and what gets in the way of real collaboration and impact.
For 15+ years, I've worked with organizations across sectors and at every scale, from small grassroots nonprofits to large international institutions. Misalignment, lack of clarity, competing priorities, and unspoken tensions: these challenges transcend industries, and importantly, don't just affect your internal team. They impact the people and communities you serve.
That's why I'm here: to help your team find clarity, build trust, and move forward together.
