Finding Fulfillment in a Changing Tech World
Julia's Signature Keynote
In today’s fast-changing tech industry, career transitions are no longer the exception—they're the norm. In this keynote, I draw on three decades as a tech executive, recruiter, and career coach to illuminate the realities professionals face and the opportunities that emerge when we navigate career change with intention.
I begin by exploring current career transition trends—from the impact of layoffs, AI, and automation to the rise of adjacent industries actively seeking tech talent. I bring these shifts to life through a real-world case study, showing how one professional moved from uncertainty and burnout to clarity, confidence, and renewed purpose.
To help participants move from insight to action, I introduce one of the most powerful tools from my book Discover Meaningful Work: the Career Assessment Exercise. This interactive activity invites participants to self-reflect on their current career satisfaction and uncover the personal drivers that form the foundation for designing a meaningful career path.
Participants leave not only inspired but equipped with a proven framework—The 5 Phases of a Career Transition™, and practical takeaways they can begin applying immediately to their own careers.
