Today Julie is a speaker, consultant, and coach for businesses and school districts who want to increase their ability to make an impact, reach a goal as a team, and create a space others chose to thrive in. Outside of growing her skillset to help others through pursuing a masters in Executive Coaching & Consulting, Julie spent thirteen years in the classroom as a high school speech and debate coach. It was in this space she learned the most about molding and shaping young leaders to be confident world changers. Loving every minute of building relationships with those in her circle of influence she saw success on the state and national levels with all kinds of students. Her method to running a successful program of excellence was simple. Julie focused on connecting through relationship building, effective communication, goal setting and creating confidence. It worked. It worked in the ways that mattered most EVERY SINGLE TIME. Her tenure as head coach proved to be nothing less than prestige. Julie's efforts garnered notable accolades: Double Diamond Coach for the National Speech and Debate Association, multiple national and state champions, and a program ranked within the top ten percent in the Nation. Take the words of former student James Mayville, “The impact she has goes beyond the classroom and beyond the debate round, her guidance has given me tools for life that have given me an advantage in almost every aspect of my academic, personal, and professional life. Because of Julie Schniers I am better equipped to face challenges set before me, and to be a person of intentionality. She knows how to care for people, she recognized my strengths in ways no one had and helped me to move forward when I struggled most. Because of her I have hope, passion and direction.”
