Shifting Gears

By August 5, 2021 No Comments

What do the stories we tell ourselves say about us? In many cases, the personal narrative we tell ourselves about our abilities might not be true, but identifying those stories are a starting point to understanding and self-awareness. 

That is why it’s a privilege to be joined today by a gifted storyteller, coach, and author. She recently published The Learned-it-in-Queens Communications Playbook, which features straightforward, humorous advice to help you communicate better. 

As a coach, Julienne Ryan’s work is rooted in both stories and empowering people to be real with themselves and others. In today’s episode, she reveals why retirement is not an end to a story — but a shifting of gears into what’s next. 

  • Why powerful storytelling changes how we look at ourselves and others
  • How to successfully drive connection through creating stories
  • The significance of listening to your inner voice for fulfillment
  • 3 topics to tackle with your spouse when retirement is approaching
  • Julienne’s recommendations for surviving an abrupt retirement
