Chronically ill clients can be quite challenging. Julie will be hosting a workshop where she can guide you step-by-step in learning how to work with the chronically ill. She will do this through understanding laws and regulations governing chronic illness in the workplace, establishing how to create a positive relationship with your chronically ill employees by understanding their symptoms and struggles, and identifying and addressing potential obstacles posed by chronic illness.

Julie Hamilton is the founder and creator of Coaching PI and Life on Your Terms.  She was diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2009 and has learned how to manage her chronic illness from just surviving to thriving.  As a former Human Resources Director, she knew the resources to use such as Family Medical Leave Act and workplace accommodations to help her with the tasks she and was struggling with.  She didn’t need to worry about her job when she needed to take time off for flare days or medical appointments. She went from missing two to four days per month to missing two days or less a year.  Then after relocating to Ohio, her chronic illness made it impossible for her to work.  That is when she studied to become a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach and learned to manage her fibromyalgia.  She has gone from being in 90% of her life to walking three miles a day and even participated in her first 10k.  She now helps professionals who have fibromyalgia to maintain their career and regain their active social life.  Her goal is to help companies create an inclusive environment for the chronically ill and assisting them in implementing policies to benefit both the employee and the company.  She understands what it takes to make it work and can educate the company and the employee on how this collaboration can work.
