Monique Kelley: Embrace Your Bold Side

Send us Fan MailAbout This EpisodeWith a 92% bold factor, Monique Kelley has always embraced new opportunities and not been afraid to go off-script. One of her earliest moments of being bold happened while she was a track athlete. As in life, performing well in track requires setting the right pace, embracing that you can’t control every variable, and taking calculated risks. Monique discusses how she unintentionally built a portfolio career, working across corporate, agency, and academia, and how each of these opportunities built off of from one another. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on your purpose and moving towards what you want out of your career and your life, not delaying something you want to do. You don’t have to wait until you have more experience or until you feel completely ready to make a change. Tune in to hear how to have the confidence to try something new and go after what brings you joy. About Monique KelleyMonique Kelley is a purpose-driven strategic communications professional with a growth mindset.
