About Julica

My credentials: About Julica Hermann

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.
