About

My name is Julie McCain and I am a 27+ year veteran educator with a diverse background of knowledge and skills. I have experience in a Title I high school campus as an English teacher, department chair, advanced studies cohort chair, and summer interdisciplinary camp coordinator; I have dedicated my career to improving workplace systems through a unique mix of upward, downward, and sideways leadership influence.  

My educational background includes studying psychology, leadership, and English, with master’s degrees in Juvenile Forensic Psychology from Prairie View A&M University and a nearly complete Industrial-Organizational Psychology master's degree from the Harvard Extension School, along with a graduate certificate in Organizational Behavior. I also graduated from the prestigious Holdsworth Center’s 2-year educational leadership program, which is a Texas-based nonprofit committed to improving leadership in the public education system. 

 I believe a focus on developing people, identifying and troubleshooting systemic problems, creating a strong culture, and applying research-based and innovative solutions will make our classrooms stronger for student and educator well-being and performance and love to be part of those processes. I specialize in organizational behavior, strategy consulting, student and adult learning, emotional intelligence development (with specialization in motivation), performance and life coaching, culture building and repair, leadership development, and negotiation and conflict resolution.

Above all, I desire to help. One of my greatest joys is seeing others reach their potential. Embark on an incredible journey with Growth Train.
