Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to LaQuita Monley. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
LaQuita, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
My journey to discovering my purpose started when I was 25 years old. It all started with a “triggering” moment that occurred after church. One of my mother’s friends wanted to get my attentions so she called out to me, but instead of calling me by my name she called me “Sis Kim’s daughter”.
There was no harm intended when she called out to me but it was this moment that would become the catalyst to my journey of self-discovery. When my Mom’s friend didn’t call me by my name it angered me in a way that was very unexpected and I lashed out in anger that would embarrass me .
On my way home, I asked myself what was wrong with me, why did I behave like that and sadly I had no answer at the time. I would ask myself these questions for more than a year, during this time I also began to talk my life’s journey as a Christian very seriously.
It was my times spent in prayer, meditation and the study of scripture that not only did I discover who Jesus is but I also discovered who he created me to be.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
1. The Process of Change (Think, Say, Do = What I think determines what I say; What I say becomes what I do; What I do defines who I am)
2. Know who you are (knowing your identity)
3. Relationships are our greatest resource (our network/support system is far more valuable than money
Start is the most important step, while on this journey you must have a willingness to accept change. The inner work you will have to do can be difficult but don’t give up keep pushing forward and never allow negativity to cause you to stop.
We’ve all got limited resources, time, energy, focus etc – so if you had to choose between going all in on your strengths or working on areas where you aren’t as strong, what would you choose?
I think that having a growth mindset is necessary and to me growth mindset means that I cannot simply focus on my strengths but I must be willing to invest into improving my weakness. The willingness to work on our weaknesses in an effort to become more well rounded is a demonstration of maturity and as well as trait of most successful people. Although our weak areas may never become as refined as our strengths, improving those areas can lead to better decision making, and our overall ability to operate successfully in life and business.
