How Julia works
Julia uses a process she created called Control Your Career. She built it from her years in university career offices, after finding that standard career theories were limited by where they came from. The process is intentional, flexible and action-oriented. She pairs it with a direct and honest coaching style. Her offers include individualized coaching, a do-it-yourself career strategy option and career courses.
Background and qualifications

She also hosts the Control Your Career podcast and offers media and speaking work.
