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 speak to thousands of educators and students all across America each year (www.KentJulian.com). When speaking to students, my focus is on helping them answer two big questions: what should I do with my life and how can I really be successful? With educators, my focus is on helping teachers remember exactly what makes a great teacher so….GREAT!

Even though I’ve been blessed to receive lots of glowing testimonials and endorsements, I know I’m 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. So, 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 key things.

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 incredible children, a son and twin daughters. I love living in the Atlanta-area, and my favorite pastimes include coaching a local swim team of 160 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.”
