Kent Julian

Kent Julian is many things—a family man, champion swim coach, professional speaker, fish taco lover, and proud bald guy. But it wasn’t always this way. He began life as an at-risk child with severe learning challenges and SAT scores so low, he had to take Developmental Studies courses just to get into college—on probation.

From these humble beginnings, Kent went on to work with youth organizations and eventually became the Executive Director of a national youth association, driven to support teenagers facing similar challenges to those he experienced. Then, after 20 years in nonprofit work, he took a bold step and launched two successful businesses.

Along the way, Kent realized that his successes were never truly his own. Whether he was working with Millennials and Gen Z students, leading businesses, or speaking to organizations and associations, the positive results he experienced stemmed from the team members he was privileged to lead and the mentors who invested in his life.

Now, with expertise in leadership and employee engagement, Kent is privileged to speak, write, and consult with leaders and teams on what it takes to create an E+R=O culture.
