    About Julia Ivy, Ph.D. Psych, Ph.D. Mgmt

    BE-EDGE > About Julia Ivy, Ph.D. Psych, Ph.D. Mgmt

    My Passion

    I passionately believe that we must better assist well-educated people who face the “What’s next?” challenge.

    I categorize these people into two groups: graduates who are Millennials, and career changers, which include accomplished professionals, veterans, and retiring athletes.

    These people have made sizable investments in their multidimensional profiles.

    They are interested in and ready to craft their own unique edge for today’s job market.

    I BELIEVE WE, EDUCATORS AND SERVICE, CAN DO MORE … SPECIFICALLY:

    We teach our graduates to define vision and differentiators for businesses, but we do not equip them with instruments for shaping their own unique and differentiated space in the market.

    We teach students to apply design thinking to overcome tough challenges in product design, but we do not teach them to apply design thinking to their OWN career design challenge.

    We direct our students to take a strategic approach to a variety of projects, but we do not guide them through making their OWN strategy project.

    We send students to internships and connect them with companies, but we do not measure the impact of these placements on students’ personal capital, social capital, and professional capital — the types of capital that they will need for success.

    We invite veterans, former athletes, and other accomplished professionals into our programs but, too often, ignore their already accumulated, rich, and highly multidimensional profiles.

    WHEN IT COMES TO CRAFTING A PROFESSIONAL LIFE, WE SIMPLY

    IGNORE THE NEED FOR

    A PERSONAL STRATEGY AS SCIENCE AND PRACTICE

    THAT MUST BE AS RIGOROUS AS ANY OTHER STRATEGIC ENDEAVOR.
