A steady place for clear thinking when life feels complex.
Vela is a coaching and facilitation practice offering one-to-one support alongside thoughtfully facilitated conversations for teams and organizations.
Where a New Perspective Begins
Vela offers a grounded, thoughtful space for inquiry—supporting people as they engage with complex personal or professional challenges that call for perspective and discernment.
Through careful questioning, reflection, and dialogue, clients explore layered problems, emotional dynamics, and strategic decisions—arriving at insight and direction that are difficult to reach alone.
Facilitating Inquiry
Sessions are conducted in a focused, intentional setting that supports clear thinking and meaningful conversation. Whether working one-to-one or with a team, the emphasis is on presence, attention, and creating the conditions for thoughtful dialogue.
We explore complex topics through deliberate conversation to cultivate insight that can be carried forward with intentional action.
One-to-One and Team Support
Vela works with individuals through one-to-one sessions and with teams through facilitated conversations and strategy sessions.
Sessions are available remotely, with in-person work offered by arrangement. Engagements are designed to fit the context, pace, and needs of the people involved.
Meet the Founder
Vela is led by Julianna Ogden, a coach and facilitator who works with individuals and teams navigating emotional, relational, and organizational complexity.
With a background in executive leadership, facilitation, and inquiry-based coaching, her work draws on established frameworks and evidence-informed practices, applied with care and adapted to context. She is known for careful listening, clear ethical boundaries, and deep respect for the intelligence and experience clients bring. Julianna is often sought out as a steady thinking partner—someone who can hold nuance, ask incisive questions, and support clarity in moments that matter.
“Julianna brings a rare mix of perspective, calm, and practical insight. Our conversations help me see situations more clearly and approach decisions with greater confidence and focus.”
