Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dr. L. Quaneck Walkes Commander. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Dr. L. Quaneck , appreciate you joining us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
Taking risks as a serial entrepreneur across multiple vocations requires courage and perseverance. Early in my journey, even before my forties, I struggled with the pressure to fit into a predefined mold. However, I have come to realize that my mission, goal, and desire lie beyond conformity. I thrive on versatility, embracing opportunities in education, technology, and spiritual modalities.
There were moments when I wanted to give up, but each time I considered quitting, I thought about the people who influenced me during my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. I also reflected on the future generations who might benefit from my journey. When I look at my past and envision my future, I realize I am too determined to stop. My legacy—helping others achieve more through education, technology, and holistic spiritual healing—is at stake, and I have come too far to turn back now.
I am confident that my mission is to help as many people as possible realize and live their dreams in the way they desire.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
For readers who may not be familiar with me, I’d love to share a bit about myself, my journey into my industries, and the work I do. I specialize in technology, communication, education, and holistic spiritual practices. My role often involves solving complex problems and offering tailored solutions, which has led me to provide a range of services, including training, consultations, and hands-on and/or remote support. I take pride in addressing my clients’ challenges with a focus on exceptional customer service while yielding high-quality data driven results.
What sets me apart is my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth. I train regularly to ensure I deliver the best possible service, standing firmly behind the products, services and solutions I offer. This dedication has allowed me to be sought out for opportunities rather than having to seek them, something I consider a great privilege.
The aspect of my work I cherish most is helping people, places, and organizations improve and thrive. Meeting individuals from diverse backgrounds is another highlight, as it enriches my perspective and fuels my passion for problem-solving. What I value most is being recognized as someone who gets the job done and fulfills promises, even if achieving the desired results takes time.
I want potential clients, followers, and collaborators to know that my brand is built on integrity, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. My ultimate goal is to leave every person and situation better than I found it.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
Yes, there are three resources that I consistently turn to for inspiration and guidance: Leadership Challenge by Barry Posner, Bob Proctor’s 11 Forgotten Laws videos, and Les Brown’s You Gotta Be Hungry YouTube video.
Each of these resources has profoundly influenced my mindset, especially when I need to check in with myself or lead a team on a job site. I deeply appreciate how these individuals share compelling stories of challenges and the victorious outcomes that come from confronting obstacles head-on. Their narratives often convey powerful, inspiring morals that help me stay motivated and focused, both personally and professionally.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Word of mouth has been my most reliable source of new clients, thanks to my commitment to delivering data driven results and maintaining a strong work ethic. My approach includes waking up early, staying up late, and consistently going the extra mile to meet and exceed client expectations.
I believe that following through on my promises has been key to building trust and credibility. This is supported by my dedication to continuous improvement—I train, conduct research, and practice regularly to ensure that my skills remain sharp and that I provide the highest quality service possible. This combination of diligence and dependability has helped me attract and retain clients over time.
