She is passionate about serving Black and Women Employee Resource Groups, organizations like Amazon, Microsoft, the Centers for Disease Control, Verizon, Intel, Equifax, and the world’s busiest airport, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International, trust Monique to guide them in implementing communication strategies that foster connection, community, creativity, and courage.

Monique has 20 years’ experience in the science of Communications and leads Clear Communication Solutions – an international training, coaching, and consulting firm that focuses on confidently communicating from the inside out.

In this episode we cover:

the 4 quadrants of emotional intelligence
her approach to relationship management
how to approach your struggles with procrastination
where to start if you want to work on your emotional intelligence
example scripts to use
challenges that women leaders face
how NOT to tackle your imposter syndrome

It is a great and value-packed interview on all things emotional intelligence and one that I learnt an incredible amount from personally.

Enjoy.
