January 2017 Spotlight

January 17, 2017 Leave a Comment

As we focus this month on setting and managing expectations, I’m excited to feature college freshman Julia Khan in our January Millennial Spotlight!

Julia’s passions focus on making positive change through community outreach and public policy. She knows how important realistic expectations are! As a result, I was so excited to talk to her.

 

In this Millennial Spotlight, Julia shares…

  • How to distinguish between setting and then managing your expectations.
  • To be successful, you must have the self-awareness to set realistic expectations.
  • Inside, you know when to stop when you’ve done enough. Most of all, we have to trust this instinct.
  • Life is a pathway, not a destination.
  • Rather than the outcome, plan the event.
  • As a result, it’s important it is to leave space for life to surprise you.

More About Julia!

 

Julia Khan is currently a first-year student at Barnard College of Columbia University. She plans to pursue her interest in public policy, focusing particularly on cyber conflict and children’s issues through community outreach.

While serving as a member of California YMCA Youth & Government’s Board of Directors, she ran a mentorship program that paired together women with similar ambitions and coordinated discussion panels with female elected officials.

No stranger to California state politics, Khan has had significant public policy experience serving as an intern in the California State Senate and at Organizing for Action, President Barack Obama’s nonprofit. In 2014, Khan served as a Student Representative on the Mountain View Los Altos School District Board of Trustees, where she successfully advocated for the creation of an official homework policy, an initiative to combat the notorious Silicon Valley stress levels felt by high school students. She also interned with a group called WomenCount PAC, which aimed to elect Democratic women to office by encouraging peer-to-peer donations. So she’s been busy!

Julia plans to study intellectual property law and one day become a judge. Finally, she loves 80s alt-rock, public transportation, and Trader Joe’s.

  • When I first started working with Leslie, I was very apprehensive about coaching, but her warm and down to earth approach quickly put me at ease and I found it easy to trust in her and be open up to my inner potential.
