Emotional Intelligence - with Monique Russell

March is Women's History Month - Here is how we are honoring
it. 


Emotional Intelligence

How does it affect you on a daily basis?

We'll do a deep dive into this and much more with Monique
Russell, 'Communications Expert'.



Expert only begins to describe Monique she is also into:

Executive Communications | She is a Virtual Speaker & Trainer
| a Podcast Host | She Coaches African Diaspora Women | and
speaks about Diversity & Inclusion

I dare say this is informative and valuable!





In her own words:


I’m Monique Russell, an executive coach, leadership guru,
communication expert, and the founder of Clear Communication
Solutions. Well, that’s what many people say about me.


I come from a long line of educators in my family. I thought that
one thing I was NEVER going to be was an educator. So it’s funny
how I’ve been one all along, but never really realized it.



All I wanted to do was to be on TV. I started acting, public
speaking, and hosting events at a very young age. I was often
called on to read in church or serve as the mistress of
ceremonies. I loved it. I loved every bit of it. I continued
public speaking throughout my school years.  I was very
active in leadership roles in many school clubs and community
groups.





Keeping in line with my desire to be on the big stage, I earned a
Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism.  Then I quickly
realized the moolah just wasn’t enough. I went back for two
Masters of Science, one in Public Relations and the other in
Advertising.
Well, life didn’t work out the way I planned.





For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be the “star of
the show”. I wanted to present, facilitate, please my parents,
friends, family, and everyone else. Then, I got older. I faced
one too many rejections. Life happened.
And one day, I realized I had lost my confidence.





I almost couldn’t recognize myself. I became fearful and doubtful
even in my natural abilities.
Through a process of self-awareness, introspection, empowerment
outlets, coaching, and a support system, I slowly gained my
confidence back. And I am determined not to go down that path
again.
When I decided to impress and love myself first, the zone of
genius began to unleash. I am an excellent communication
consultant and coach, that’s why I’m ready to guide you with my
gift so you too can be a confident and clear communicator. This
is how Clear Communication Solutions was born.
