Look up mover, shaker, connector, change agent in the dictionary and you are SURE to find this week’s guest, Julia Taylor. Past President of both the Greater Milwaukee Committee as well as the YWCA of Greater Milwaukee, Julia is a dream MAKER in the Cream City. She is also a consummate connector of people and builder of relationships across the city getting things done at the “speed of trust,” which we both agree is exactly the right speed! 

Listen as we talk about … 

  • The unexpected career trajectory of a serious CHANGE MAKER because she said YES! 
  • A gem of advice for young leaders today.
  • An important lesson she learned from a failure, and how she pulled herself out of a funk after a legislative loss she’d spent years working toward. 
  • So many things can happen around a dinner table, hear how Julie hosts and why she prefers the Jeffersonian Model of conversation. 
  • How and why to stay connected to creativity, even if you don’t consider yourself an artist (though NEWSFLASH: we are ALL creative).
