Julie Rich, Leadership Coach with over 30 years of commercial experience in the property sector

Meet Julie Rich, Founder of Composed

I’m Julie Rich - a Leadership Coach, mentor and guide for professionals in the property industry who are ready to lead with more confidence, clarity and courage.

With over 30 years’ commercial experience in the property sector - from development management to executive leadership - I’ve sat where you sit.

I understand the challenges, the pressure, the imposter syndrome, and the fatigue that can come with leading in high-stakes environments.

What I learned during my own leadership journey is this: you don’t need to change who you are to lead. You just need to become more of who you are, with intention.

That’s the work I now do with clients across Australia — helping technically brilliant professionals evolve into people-first leaders who communicate with clarity, hold presence in a room, and lead teams with purpose.

The Way I Work

Through practical coaching and behavioural insight tools like the PRINT® Profile, I support individuals and organisations to:

  • Understand what’s getting in the way of leadership confidence

  • Build emotional intelligence and influence

  • Create stronger communication and team dynamics

My approach is calm, clear and grounded. I’ll walk beside you — not ahead of you — as you grow into a leader who feels both capable and at ease.

Whether you’re stepping into a leadership role for the first time, navigating growing team responsibilities, or seeking to develop a stronger leadership culture in your business — I’d love to support your next step forward.
