It's time to take control of your career!

The Career Coach + Strategist behind the content...

Julia Toothacre, MS

For over 10 years, I have worked with thousands of clients to help them find clarity in their career path and develop action plans to take the steps necessary to get them where they want to go in their career.

Most professionals fall into their career through a well-meaning mentor or connection only to realize years later they hate what they do. They keep climbing the corporate ladder and wake up one day to the realization that they have lost control of their future.

In my experience, 90% of professionals have what they need to take control and pivot their career in a way that makes sense for what they value in this season of life.

While one-on-one career coaching and strategy is my main passion, I believe career resources and information should be available and accessible for everyone. Check out the Strategies page to access tons of FREE content and a few reasonably priced resources for you to get started advancing and managing your career TODAY.

You can also listen to the podcast where I share ALL my secrets, questions, and examples from my career and my client's career to show you the way. This isn't a situation where I give you a few nuggets and expect you to figure it out. I share it all! I also keep my episodes relatively short so you can listen to them on your commute or a walk around the block.

If you are interested in working with me one-on-one, you can schedule a complimentary 30-minute Career Coaching Clarity Call, connect with me on social media, or email me at hello @ ridethetidecollective [dot] com.

Why am I qualified to do this work?

I started this journey in a counseling-focused master of science program where my then passion was working with college students. I spent 8 years working in higher education in various roles within university career offices helping everyone from freshmen to doctoral students to mid-career alumni to encore career alumni figure out their path in their current season of life. I spent my time coaching and creating career programs and I've used that experience to create my career management and advancement program that is everything you need to get where you want to go.

I found my niche and passion working with new and mid-career professionals who have lost their way, are in toxic environments, or who are so high-achieving they don't know where they fit in the working world. I support and respect the need for people to have a 9-5 job and I help you find your place and path in your career journey.

I'm also certified and educationally eligible to administer and interpret multiple personality and interest assessments, which I use in my coaching program.

It's important to note that I didn't wake up one day and decide to do this work. I'm highly trained in career coaching and counseling, have been part of multiple career-related professional associations, and I LOVE this work.

I look forward to connecting with you and helping you find success in you career, whatever that looks like for you.

Meaning Behind the Company Name

I know what you are thinking, “Julia, why don’t you use your name for your company name?” Well, I thought about it, but to be honest, I want my services to be bigger than me. Yes, I’m a strategist. Yes, I’m a coach. Yes, I provide awesome resources.

BUT what I do is not about me, it’s about you.

YOU have to want it.
