For years, I have served as a useful source to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our world. I founded the LYF Matters Project with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, and I have been at it ever since. Take some time to explore the blogs, read something interesting, and feel free to reach out if you would like to collaborate on a project together.

IQ states, you are smart in a specific topic, therefore I want to listen to you.

EQ (Emotional Intelligence), says you understand me, therefore I want to follow you. Ms. Monroe came to our annual conference and taught the priceless gift of self-awareness. We left with a better understanding in what ways we need to improve our empathy, open our minds and challenged unconscious biases. We gained awareness of of how we can build stronger relationships, that allows us to make better nd effective decisions. Behind all our titles are leaders who lead with EQ not power or ego.

Ms. Monroe's courses have been truly helpful in how we as a team connect with each other. We’ve seen significant benefits of investing in developing these EQ and CQ skills. The employee populations who experience these programs tend to have higher retention rates, mange stress related tasks, increased performance and even created a more mindful culture here. I’ve had a number of program participants tell me that the training not only made them a better leader at work but also a better partner/ spouse/ parent/friend etc. – more equipped to navigate the world we live in.

Ms. Monroe has a way of teaching with impactful kindness and makes the learning of her courses impactful and fun. I’ve personally seen team members leverage the EQ strategies in high pressure situations and always set the better example as a result. They are enabled to not to get triggered by people, challenging them to stay calm and come up with innovative solutions more collaboratively.
