ABOUT JULIEANN
I AM JULIEANN RICO GERACE
I had a highly, successful career as a lawyer spanning 40 years. In that time, I led and designed legal teams, represented private and public organizations, provided legal counsel and strategic guidance to executive teams, and mentored and supported professionals to seek and reach their highest goals.
Some of my greatest achievements during that time were:
* Florida Bar certification as an education law specialist
* Florida Courts Arbitrator
* Awarded prestigious Judge Edward Rogers Diversity Award
* Served Palm Beach County Bar as its first elected female Bar President
In addition to this, I also co-founded a Florida-based biotech company and taught education law at public and private universities.
This all developed my reputation as a solutions-based, impact change leader, and creative problem solver.
In 2009, despite all of my success, my career, marriage, finances and health were all shattered within in few short months (read the full story here).
I was broke, scared and alone. I was also solely responsible for supporting my young son and my mother. The real estate market crashed and the job market was bleak. Times were tough.
I was devastated yet determined to put my life back together in a way I could not only thrive, but feel alive, live without fear and live with meaning and purpose this time around.
I finally secured a solid position in 2013 and in that role, I realized that the things I had always loved about my professional life, centered around making a positive difference, supporting others to succeed and leading to influence change.
I created a new vision for myself and got clear about what makes my heart sing. I focused on aligning my core values and my mission to how I live my life every day - personally, professionally, spiritually. It became crystal clear that my purpose is to mentor, coach and support others to succeed so I decided to become a transformational coach.
In October 2020 I achieved my long-term dream of living in a small medieval Tuscan town with a rich personal history for me (see more about that here) and was featured on HGTV’s House Hunters International, which aired November 2020.
Creating a sustainable satisfying plan for “life after the law”, inspired me to take action, take back my life and make my dreams come true.
Now, I guide other professional women to live their best life using the stunning backdrop of Tuscany. I was inspired with rich metaphors and examples to convey teaching and ideas and that is how Transformations Tuscany was born!
I developed a unique transformational curriculum designed to ignite, inspire and support professional women over 50 to live the life of their dreams just like I did for myself!
