Jullien is fun and inspiring. He has a lightness that is a blessing. He has a voice that is suited to reducing the fear most folks have when asked to consider “changing. He has a rare depth of understanding about what it truly takes to actually change in a world that likes to chat about change, sugar-coat what it truly means to “change.Pip Coburn, CEO of Coburn Ventures

Why do we care?

1. We believe that employees create jobs too.
2. We believe low performers bring high performers down, teams down, companies down, and collectively they bring down our economy.
3. We believe that unemployment is a result of underemployment—employees not being fully present in the work they do. As a result, many employers are paying full-time salaries for part-time presence. That’s not a sustainable business model for anyone.
4. We believe in the power of questions and deep listening to engage those we truly want to work with. Questions lead to insights which lead to authentic answers.
5. We believe that an employee’s desire for career change is driven by the misalignment between who they are and what they do and there is an opportunity to engage employees on a deeper level through innerviewing.
