Hi, I'm Coach Julian!
I'm a coach who helps young people build confidence, overcome obstacles, and get genuinely excited about their future-including areas where they've previously struggled or felt stuck.
My approach is rooted in personal experience. I wasn't always the person I am today. I spent years going against the grain, insisting on doing things my own way, and resisting any offer of help. I also had a habit of waiting far too long to act on my goals-and when I finally did, following through was a real challenge. The turning point came when I accepted something simple but powerful: I needed help, and that was okay. Being open to guidance and advice changed everything for me. That's what I bring to my students now. I use my own missteps as real-world examples, and I meet them where they are. One of my biggest lessons was learning that goals don't have to feel impossible to be meaningful. Breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps builds momentum-and celebrating even the small wins along the way does more than most people expect. I've seen this work, again and again.
I spend as much time outside as I can-being in nature keeps me grounded and clear-headed. I love running (I completed three half marathons last year, and I genuinely don't love running-but I love what it teaches me). I'm in the middle of learning Spanish, and I'm always picking up new skills because personal development is a lifestyle for me.
