Julia Starr — Translating Creative Mastery into Professional Power
Send us a text
This week, we sit down with career and leadership coach Julia Starr to unpack a practical path through professional pivots. Julia isn't just a coach; she is a master of the "bold move." From her time as a Fulbright Fellow in Malaysia and a BCG consultant to her work streamlining a family sawmill business and earning an Ed.M. from Harvard, Julia has navigated the exact inflection points she now helps her clients master.
In this episode, Julia explains why the skills of a performing artist—the discipline of an opera singer (for example), the multilingual adaptability of a touring musician, and the high-stakes presence of a stage actor—are actually elite assets for global business and leadership.
We dive into:
- The Identity Shift: How to separate who you are from what you do.
- Career Design Thinking: Why you should treat your next move like a prototype—testing hypotheses and gathering data rather than guessing.
- The Language of Translation: How to turn your creative "strength stories" into the strategic language that recruiters and CEOs crave.
- The 5 A.M. Test: Why being a "thoughtful, curious colleague" is the ultimate competitive advantage in any industry.
Julia also shares her Value-Strengths-Action method, offering a look at how to use AI to surface adjacent roles you never knew existed. Whether you are an artist looking for your next stage or a professional feeling "stuck," this conversation provides the strategy and the "momentum" needed to build something extraordinary.
"I can spot the thread in someone's story that leads to their next chapter, and help them walk toward it with clarity." — Julia StarrAll episodes are also available in video form on our YouTube Channel. All episodes are hosted by Elizabeth (Lizzie) Bowman.
