About

Most bios are written in “third person,” even though the “first person” is writing them. Since I’m writing this bio, I’m going to skip the third person approach and simply tell you about myself.

I am founder and president of Live It Forward LLC, a personal and professional development company that helps people “make the move” to the life and work they love.

I also speaks to thousands of students and educators all across America each year (www.KentJulian.com). Whether I am speaking about goal setting, leadership, careers, or achievement and success, my focus is on helping people realize that  ”Normal Is Overrated” and equipping them to be “Way Beyond Normal” in both their lives and leadership.

I’ve been blessed to receive lots of glowing testimonials and endorsements about the Speak It Forward Boot Camp, Live It Forward LLC, and my speaking career, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am just an “Average Joe” with no royal pedigree or over-the-top life story. Yet, something I speak on frequently and teach every single one of my career coaching clients is this:

REAL Success is not about tons of talents or special abilities…
it’s about living WAY BEYOND average in a few, very important roles in life.

This means the success I’ve experienced in my life is not because I’m more talented than the next guy or gal, it’s because I’ve been highly intentional and proactive about a few, very important principles. I call this living a “BIG is Little and Little is BIG” lifestyle.

Okay, now that you know all the promo stuff, how about some personal info. I am an avid exerciser, which means you’ll often find me running, swimming, or doing strength training. I am crazy-in-love with the most incredible woman on the planet—my wife, Kathy. We have three great children, a son Chris and twin daughters McKenzie and Kelsey. I love living in the Atlanta-area, and my favorite pastimes include coaching a local swim team of 180 swimmers, eating sushi, reading, and sipping dark roasted coffee.

Oh yeah, one last thing…I’m very comfortable with my bald head because as I like to say, “God only uncovers that which is perfect.”
