“If you take care of your employees, your employees will take care of your customers.  It’s as simple as that.  Loyal employees are assets.”

– Richard Branson

Montiqua Mathers

Throughout my career, I’ve heard leaders, politicians and even educators utilize the phrase, “People First”. 

These words seem to be a catalyst used to garner support, expedite opportunities, or even evoke confidence in the mind of the listener.  While People First sounds like a catchy phrase, the truth remains that words without action can do more harm than good.

Most organizational leaders are well intended but lack the time, support and or knowledge to create a culture where people are first, and they matter.  Having grown weary with hearing the phrase absent the action, I decided to take the skills and knowledge learned from Best- in- Class organizations as well as my more than 20 years of people management experience to create a pathway to success.

Let's connect to learn more about the pathway to impart equity, promote diversity, and ignite a culture where people thrive.

Client Testimonials

“Montiqua will inspire and encourage a positive work environment and motivate people to operate in a spirit of Excellence. "

Wendy Anger, Founder of Women of Influence Business Summit

I highly recommend Ms. Montiqua Pettway as a great resource, educator and motivator in the business field. She served as a speaker at our 2022 event and had the audience captivated and focused on the subject of mentors vs. advisors. The ladies all spoke of how they didn’t realize there was a difference and stated that they needed to change some things in their lives.
