About Julica
My credentials:
- I have been successfully coaching since 2003, with over 300 coaching hours.
- I have a Bachelors degree in Political Science, a Masters degree in Sociology and another Masters in Social Work, all from the University of Michigan.
- I have a strong background in social justice education, group facilitation and training. I’ve won several teaching awards and taught a variety of courses on community service and social justice.
- I’m currently working toward my ICF coach certification through Coachville.
My story:
I first discovered coaching as a grad student in 2002, when I started working with a coach myself. Talk about stumbling onto your life calling! I was so lucky to have a great coach, and to quickly realize that coaching was something I could do well, and love to do.
After a year of amateur coaching with family and friends, I started my coaching training through MentorCoach, with a six-month foundations program. During this time, my coaching practice was part-time and secondary to other life commitments. For the next couple of years, my life had many turns and spins, including marriage, a new baby, and finishing my graduate work.
In 2004, I started working with my family’s business as a coach, trainer and consultant. In 2006, I left a position at the University of Michigan’s Office of LGBT Affairs as Assistant Director for Education, and decided to dedicate myself full energy and full force to my coaching practice. I signed up (and am currently working toward) my ICF coach certification through Coachville’s Graduate School of Coaching. I have been coaching full time since then.
My commitment to social justice predates and precedes my experiences in the coaching field. (That’s a longer and more interesting story, to be told elsewhere.) Happily, coaching is an ideal profession for helping others identify their calling and how they will make a difference in the world. So here I am! Making the world a better place, one agent of social change (or several) at a time.

"Beyond being a brilliant and gifted coach, Julica brings all of herself to the work. Her lived experience and intellectual understanding of the dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression across race/ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and class (among others!) made her the perfect match for working collaboratively with the MSU Office of Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, and Transgender Concerns, Office of Racial and Ethnic Student Affairs, and Multicultural Center. Her ability to address social justice concerns in the context of coaching is phenomenal!"
--Brent Bilodeau, Ph.D.,
Director, Office of Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender Concerns,
Michigan State University
