As a humorous speaker and inspirational storyteller, listeners can check out her book, The Learned-it-in-Queens Communications Playbook: Winning Against Digital Distraction. The last time we recorded an episode was just before the global pandemic hit in 2019. Our conversation touched on my journey into podcasting, Julienne's experience in writing and improving communication skills. We also highlighted the importance of accountability and supporting one another. Additionally, we talked about the pleasures of cooking at home, law enforcement agencies, and my interviewing style and influences.
