About Gloria Julien

I\'m a Life Design & Career Transition Coach for intuitive overthinkers — and honestly, I used to be one of my own clients.I was a mechanical engineer who bounced around engineering-adjacent roles for years, quietly knowing something wasn\'t quite fitting but unable to name it. I wasn\'t burned out. I wasn\'t falling apart. I was functioning completely fine. I just had this low hum underneath everything — like I\'d built a life that made sense on paper but wasn\'t quite mine. And once you notice that feeling, you can\'t really unknow it.So I did what overthinkers do: I analyzed. I researched. I made spreadsheets. I thought if I just gathered enough information, the right answer would eventually reveal itself. It didn\'t. What actually moved things forward was experimenting — taking small, scrappy action before I felt ready. That\'s what eventually took me from engineering to UX design to design thinking facilitation to here.That journey is the foundation of how I coach.My work sits at the intersection of honest self-inquiry and practical experimentation. I bring a diagnostic lens — shaped by design thinking and behavioral science — that helps us find what\'s actually underneath the surface, not just what\'s presenting as the problem. We\'re not trying to fix you. We\'re trying to figure out what actually fits.Most clients come in thinking they have a career problem. What we usually discover together is something more specific — a pattern, a belief, a constraint they\'ve never quite named out loud. That\'s where things actually shift. After working together, clients know what they want and why — not just what sounds right. They have a decision-making process they trust. And they leave with documented evidence of what changed, so when doubt creeps back in, they have receipts.If you\'re in the middle of a career transition, questioning your direction, or just sitting with that quiet pull toward something different — I\'d love to talk.ICF-Certified Coach | Life Design & Career Transition | Design Thinking | MS User Experience & Interaction Design | ME Systems Engineering
