About me
I am a Communication Catalyst. I help people find and use their voice—without raising it—to improve their sense of self and build authentic connections.
I deliver humor with a purpose and work with clients in creative ways that encourage active listening, constructive dialogue, and laughter.
Using tools like Narativ® Storytelling, Motivational Interviewing, Coaching, and the AccuMatch Behavior Intelligence Map®, I help clients see how they show up for others and take immediate, targeted action.
My goal is always the same: to create deep, transformative experiences where clients feel engaged, empowered, and connected.

What’s the benefit?
My clients learn how to communicate respectfully and effectively in a supportive space. They challenge assumptions, let go of unhelpful habits, and explore fresh approaches to relationships and communication.
By developing stronger listening skills, clients gain context, build trust, and become more effective, engaged, and productive professionals.
"Julienne worked with my team regarding self-awareness, and relationship building/connectivity with others through storytelling. She is a very dynamic speaker and facilitator. She draws the best out of individuals and keeps everyone engaged during her workshops "

Have you noticed how hard it’s become to hold people’s attention?
We half-hear what’s said, fill in the blanks with assumptions, and end up repeating the same misunderstandings—meeting after meeting.
But what if you could disrupt that cycle and re-energize your team?
What if you could shift from:
• Frustration → Focused listening
• Disengagement → Genuine presence
• Digital distraction → True connection
I use storytelling techniques, practical insights, and humor to help teams:
✅ Conduct respectful conversations
✅ Build trust and engagement
✅ Boost productivity while actually enjoying the process
Because when people truly listen, laugh, and connect—they work better together.
