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:

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.
