How I Coach

The coaching concept is quite simple: in sports and in life, a coach helps a player or a team of players win their game. In life coaching, the player (that would be you) and the coach (me) determine the nature of the game, what it takes to win, and then we get to work!

My specialty is coaching college students and young professionals who want to life a life they love, and who want that life to make a difference in the world.

I will help you define and articulate your game, a.k.a. your true life calling, and determine how to make your game winnable—in other words: attainable, rewarding, and fun!

Here is a list of skills that I know you need to be a successful social change agent and to live the life you love:

Clarity on your core values and chosen area of social change
An understanding of how social change happens, and how you can catalyze it
Playing from joy, not anger
A clear understanding of and peace with your social identities (both the privileged and the underprivileged ones!)
Academic and/or job success
Successful parent and relationship management
Effective energy and time use
Masterful money management
Networking and leadership skills
Health and spiritual well-being (to prevent burnout)
Being present to see opportunities and take them

Got all these down? Then you don’t need me! But if any of these skills above make you nod, groan, cringe or sigh wistfully, then you know you’re on the right track and you’re reading the right webpage.

In either individual or group coaching, I will help you identify your strengths and your areas of opportunity (a nice way to say weakness). We will identify which of the skills mentioned above you have mastered, and which we need to get a move on. We will create gameplans especially tailored to suit your needs and your quirks. And before you know it, you will notice more joy, more enthusiasm, more energy, and more social change happening around you! See more details about my services

"Working with Julica as a coach was incredible. She provided insight into my patterns and the motivation to examine those patterns in order to develop a new "game plan" as I started graduate school. Her coaching helped me with the many transitions going on in my life at the time and a safe environment to discuss my goals/dreams/problems. I am sincerely thankful for having had the opportunity to work with her!"
