Meet our newest OLCT graduate and TLP Certified Leadership Coach, @Julie_Smithwick !

Hear from Julie:

"I recently completed The Leader's Perspective coaching course, and it was truly transformative. As Executive Director of the Center for Community Health Alignment at the University of South Carolina — and founder of PASOs, which I led through 14 years of transformational statewide growth — I’ve spent more than two decades building community-based programs and developing leaders. I’ve taken many leadership trainings over the years, but this one stood out. It deepened my ability to listen, ask powerful questions, and hold space for others to uncover their own insights. The blend of practical tools, reflection, and hands-on practice and coaching from Patrick made it incredibly impactful. I’m continuing my growth through advanced training and mentorship as I prepare to launch my own organizational leadership coaching practice, helping nonprofit and community-focused leaders find clarity, confidence, and renewed purpose. I can’t recommend The Leader's Perspective enough for anyone who wants to lead and coach with greater intention and authenticity."
