Moving Past Perfectionism with Julian Reeve


Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:

Is perfectionism getting in the way of your life? Are you facing the idea of a career shift? In this episode, I am joined by Julian Reeve, a speaker, coach and motivator for people going through career transitions. Right now, many people are facing career changes so I thought you’d really enjoy Julian’s take on how to navigate transition with ease. We chat about his experience of going from being a Music Director for HAMILTON to what he does now. Julian shares his experience with perfectionism and how to get back to your real, authentic self. He also dives into letting go of the pressures of society and the world.

About Julian Reeve

Critically acclaimed for his work as the Music Director on the 1st U.S National Tour of the Broadway musical HAMILTON, Julian Reeve has enjoyed a successful career in music, business, and education. Born and educated in Cambridge, England, he has toured the world with over twenty-five theatrical productions, whilst remaining dedicated to his work as an educator in the U.S, Europe and Japan. Outside of music, he has founded three businesses in the creative sector, including the boutique talent agency ‘Boland & Reeve’ in London’s West End and The Elev8 Workshop Series in Los Angeles.

Julian experienced a major life change in early 2019, having to quit his career as a performer due to injury. He now works as a speaker, coach, and motivator, helping people facing career change find clarity in their situations through coaching and workshops. He is also a regular speaker on the keynote circuit, with talks across numerous subjects including Perfectionism, which was also the focus of his TEDx Talk released earlier this year.
