When asked to describe what she does for a living, LaRhesa Moon says she helps companies solve problems. Whether it’s because of a merger and/or acquisition; a crisis in communication, or solving strategic issues that impede corporate growth, LaRhesa Moon steps in and helps companies navigate what can often be an unclear path.
“WHEN I WAS ABOUT 35, A COUPLE OF OF OLDER WOMEN REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO THE POWER AND JOY OF WOMEN FRIENDSHIPS AND MENTORING. THEY INSPIRED ME TO BE A MENTOR AND ADVOCATE FOR OTHER WOMEN.”
“I work with companies to see how we’re going to get through this,” said LaRhesa. “I work well under pressure and see patterns where other people can’t. I’m always trying to move forward and improve things; to figure out how we can be better. That kind of drive allows me to help be a change agent in those situations.”
“Some people like to cross items off a checklist every day. If I have too many days like that I get bored. I thrive when given a difficult task or challenge. Unexpected. Time-sensitive. Highly confidential. Those are the kinds of situations where I do my best work.
“I feel so blessed to be able to work with the corporations I do. Many are oil and gas companies. As an independent consultant, I have a bit more personal flexibility and yet can still be so intimately involved with an organization that I am an integral part of the team.”
Baseball fans may remember LaRhesa’s father, Wally Moon, a former Major League Baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wally Moon was an outfielder who threw right-handed but was a left-handed hitter. He was known for hitting what fans called “Moon shots.”
“For me, he was just my dad. I’m the youngest, so he’d already retired from baseball and moved us to a farm in Arkansas for a simpler life. He was very available to me. I remember him taking me to kindergarten every morning and picking me up and then we’d have lunch together.
“Because of our ages, my siblings and I each got to experience our father in a different way. Life is different when you’re the Major League Baseball star, than when you’re the Christian Athletic Director, helping to create a new university in a little town in Arkansas, or when you’re the owner of a Minor League Baseball team in a city like San Antonio. He’s been a remarkable man in every role and especially as a father. I’m very blessed to be his daughter.
“When I was younger and thought about people in their 50s and 60s, I thought, ‘Those people are so old.’ With a grandmother who is 107 it has definitely changed my perspective on ages and aging. I want to continue to explore industries and utilize my skills in different ways. I’m so excited about life and the opportunities still to come!
