Julianne Hammond
BCom (Marketing) (UNSW). Accredited NMAS Mediator (The College of Law). Registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (The College of Law). Founder Equate Mediation.
My career accelerated quickly after I joined The Coca-Cola Company in Sydney, Australia. The next fourteen years would see me working and living in the US, Japan and Hong Kong (this post included China Taiwan and Macau). I experienced different cultures, learnt to look at issues from different perspectives. I loved building a team, identifying opportunities to make things better - the systems, brands, businesses and most importantly the people.
I've raised a family, I've volunteered in the community. I became an Executive and Business Coach and more recently an accredited NMAS Mediator and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner.
I love to truly listen, to understand what's really being said. Growing up my father used to say, 'there's usually three sides to a story, two sides plus the truth which is somewhere in the middle.' I'm open minded and impartial. The incredible journey that is life with its ups and downs has increased my tolerance, resilience and compassion.
Through my Executive Coaching and life journey, I've observed that many people struggle to resolve conflict either because they don't have the skills, they're dealing with a difficult person or situation, or, because they let their emotions get in the way. This is normal and understandable. Often it means though, that relationships end before they need to, or people live with unnecessary anger and resentment. My goal is to help as many people as I possibly can to resolve conflict, learn conflict management skills, help make the world a more peaceful and productive place. This is my passion and my purpose. I will go the extra distance with you to help resolve disputes, improve relationships, get better outcomes.

GENERAL PRACTITIONER
'Working with Julianne in only a short time I've accomplished goals that have remained incomplete for years.
I work in a creative field and Julianne was able to understand the non-linear approach of my industry, this was very important to me.
Julianne's soft and nurturing but firm as well, which is what I needed. The entire process helped me understand myself better and look at myself and my business in a new and fresh way.
Coaching with Julianne helped me lose my fear - grab the reigns of career with excitement and determination, it was actually really fun to do this with her.
Julianne has helped me break down some long term barriers and take stock of my career and where I want to go. I'm ready for 2022 in a big way thanks to Julianne.'
