Julia Ngapo Coaching
Julia Ngapo
My point of difference
My point of difference is that I don’t just coach the business, I coach the woman behind it. Many women come to me thinking they have a strategy problem, when often the real challenge sits beneath the surface in overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, visibility fears, boundary issues, or old patterns that quietly affect how they lead and grow their business. I combine over 25 years of commercial leadership and business experience with mindset coaching, personal development, and holistic approaches to create deep, sustainable change. My work blends practical strategy with emotional insight, helping women build businesses that are not only successful, but also feel aligned, sustainable, and genuinely fulfilling to run. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen, challenged in the right way, and able to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and calm.
About
I’m Julia Ngapo, a Business and Mindset Coach supporting women in business to find and follow their true north. I work with intelligent, capable women who are often doing well on paper, but behind the scenes are overthinking decisions, underpricing themselves, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected from the business and life they’ve built. My work sits in the space between the woman and the business. While strategy matters, I believe sustainable business growth starts with the person behind it. Together, we unpack the patterns, conditioning, and mindset blocks that quietly impact confidence, visibility, leadership, and decision-making, while also strengthening the practical side of business growth and strategy. With 25+ years in corporate leadership and business, I bring both commercial insight and deep human understanding to the work I do.

Why I am a member
I joined NZ Businesswomen because I value genuine connection, collaboration, and being part of a community of women who are building meaningful businesses and supporting one another along the way. As someone who works closely with women in business, I know how important it is to have spaces where conversations can go beyond surface-level networking and into real growth, leadership, confidence, and shared experience. I’m passionate about supporting women to back themselves, own their value, and build businesses that are both successful and sustainable, and I’m excited to connect with like-minded women doing the same.
Testimonials
“Julia has an incredible ability to get to the heart of what’s really going on, both personally and in business. I came to her thinking I needed strategy, but what shifted everything was the work we did around confidence, boundaries, and trusting myself. The changes in my business have been significant, but the biggest transformation has been in me.” “Working with Julia gave me clarity I hadn’t been able to find on my own. She creates such a safe, supportive space while also challenging you to think differently and take action. I now make decisions with far more confidence and feel much more aligned in how I run my business.” “Julia blends practical business insight with deep personal understanding in a way I’ve never experienced before. She helped me recognise patterns that were quietly holding me back for years. I feel calmer, clearer, and far more confident in both myself and my business.”
