Parent Testimonials
The Know You Project and Julie Champion’s expertise was very valuable to our graduating senior son. Prior to meeting with Julie, he had little direction and little knowledge of what he was gifted in and type of job he would be best suited for. After meeting with Julie and going through the Know You Project we gained vision and helpful information regarding his strengths, talents, personality and giftings.
This new information has helped us make plans for his future and helped our relationship with our son as we have gotten to know him and understand him better. This process also narrowed down the many career choices available and helped him have a specific career pursuit.
Morgan’s expertise enabled her to pinpoint where my students needed improvement and she offered a clear pathway to growth in those areas. The students also became aware of their individual strengths, using those to build confidence and develop a clear game plan for the next chapter in their lives.
Our daughter had a general idea of her interests, but the time spent with Julie was invaluable in helping her solidify her direction for her college major. The sessions with Julie provided her with an environment of openness and trust as her strengths and weaknesses were discussed in a forum that helped her appreciate her unique personality. Understanding how she relates to others was an important element in affirming her confidence in interpersonal relationships. My husband and I were impressed with Julie’s approach of integrating her spiritual gifts with her vocational strengths. We are so thankful that our daughter had the opportunity to spend time with Julie, recognizing that God has used this process in her life in preparing her for college.
Julie helped our senior daughter work through decisions on her major and college. We were so pleased with the process and highly recommend it. It helped us as parents understand more fully the unique design that God has created in our daughter. It was good to see all of this on paper and to realize that her processing aligned with what the testing brought out. It made us appreciate and love her even more, if that was possible. Julie is very good at what she does and helps to bring many tests together to make sense of an individuals design in a broader sense. We will use her services again.
Julie’s work with our son was extremely helpful and insightful. We had general ideas around what we thought would be good post-high-school next steps for him, but after Julie took him through the Know You Project, we gained an invaluably clear picture of the type work-environment that’s suited to his personality and temperament. We truly appreciate the vision and momentum that this experience provided him.
We weren’t sure initially what to expect from the Know You Project, but wow! We were so pleased with the whole experience that Julie walked though our daughter with. Julie helped her and us see her strengths and interests in a whole new way and it brought so much clarity for her future. Her patience and insight were truly refreshing especially in a time when our girl was feeling a little lost in regard to what lie ahead for her. She loved when Julie came over and it was so comfortable and yet so professional. We believe Julie has developed something that everyone could benefit from.
We signed them both up for the full gamut of the Know You analysis over the summer. With Tiffany, we were pleased to confirm exactly what she and we had originally thought about her strengths and personality traits, giving her a stronger peace about her undergraduate major and likely future path. For Brittany, she saw in words some things which she had previously felt, but had trouble expressing coherently. For me personally, I was able to see that some of the ideas which I held for her were never going to work and that her personality, once described, was an excellent fit for other, equally rewarding professional options.
Digging deeper into spiritual gifts, understanding how our career interests connect with our gifts and the need to calm pre-college jitters are all reasons we chose to have our daughter work with Julie. The weeks Julie spent working with our daughter allowed our daughter to explore in a non-threatening way her thoughts on so many issues. Julie’s personal style and the way she connected with our daughter allowed her to ask herself questions and explore thoughts she had been holding inside for some time.
My husband and I would both highly recommend parents having their high school and college age children working with Julie. The confidence and deeper understanding of God’s work in her life our daughter had after these sessions was such a blessing. We will most definitely have Julie work with our son as well.
My 17 year old son was interested, engaged and raves about the process. Julie won’t map out your child’s future, but will help him focus on where his interests and passions lie. It narrowed the possible fields of study and motivated him to look into college majors he hadn’t thought about. Choosing your area of study can be overwhelming to anyone, especially a smart kid with very broad interests. Julie helped him narrow his focus to a handful of fields that he was motivated to learn more about. I highly recommend her.
Working with Julie was a great benefit to my identical twin sons. She helped them both to see how God had uniquely created them, gifted them and then gave them great guidance as they headed off for their freshman year in college. It was very helpful for them to understand and see how they are ‘wired’ and to receive this knowledge at such a crucial time in their lives. Julie has a great ability to communicate with boys, understanding them and being able to relate to them. My boys thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and both feel like it helped them tremendously. We highly recommend Julie.
