What they say.

I embarked on my coaching sessions with Monique with some reluctance as to their efficacy in helping me achieve my goal; but from the first session, I felt galvanised. Monique has a knack for putting you at ease and making you feel comfortable to share. During each session, she provided support and guidance whilst simultaneously allowing me to work through ideas and find solutions. Even on the occasions when I was frustrated, Monique calmly brought me back on track and I came away feeling enthusiastic and motivated, especially when she highlighted my small victories. I also loved that she sent me encouraging messages and tips between sessions - they were a huge help! I highly recommend Monique. Her guidance helped me recognise and change patterns of behaviour and she ultimately helped me achieve my goal - in a record 4 weeks!

Our sessions really prompted me to ask myself certain questions – it has brought more awareness and has gently implored me to consider things from a different perspective. I often find that I continue to research and introspect long after our sessions. You are a BRILLIANT listener who is able to connect the dots. One of the most powerful breakthroughs for me was you linking how I had approached nutrition with my work routine. This has truly helped me in terms of taking full ownership over the areas that I wish to see transformed. I would 100% recommend you. As much as I have found it challenging to consider all the questions you have posed, it has ultimately been a helpful tool for self-reflection and awareness. Thank YOU so much for the gift of your time and amazing skill.

I highly recommend Monique's coaching to anybody who values their personal growth. Monique has a gift for putting you at ease and creating a supportive environment that allows you to open up and work through your challenges with more clarity. I initially had some hesitations reaching out for coaching; I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of sharing my perceived shortcomings with somebody else. I also felt strongly that I needed to get unstuck and to change the way I was approaching my career, but I wasn't sure how. In short, I needed some guidance. Monique listened carefully to my goals and struggles. She asked relevant questions that helped me reshape my internal narrative and shed some of my limiting beliefs. The results surprised me. Suddenly challenges that I couldn't bring myself to face didn't seem so daunting. I started to find pleasure in setting small targets, facing my fears head-on and celebrating the little victories that pave the way to big goals. Her coaching helped me gain the momentum I needed to make strides in both my professional and my personal life.

I had concerns about time constraints and felt uncomfortable about peeling back layers but you made me feel comfortable and you were empathetic. You helped me challenge myself and made me look at things from a different perspective. I would absolutely recommend you. You have a wealth of experience in so many different areas of life that add depth to your coaching. You are patient and calm and you do not shy away from a challenge. You listen really well and you make people feel comfortable. You are an excellent problem solver and you were able to challenge me to face my issues head-on. Thank you for including me in your practice.

I have experienced cbt therapy before but I was unsure exactly what life coaching entailed before I started working with Monique - but feeling a little stuck I was drawn to the program Monique offered. Monique immediately made me feel comfortable and was extremely quick and perceptive in identifying with me the elements that we should focus on. I really enjoyed the results-driven process and I also really appreciated that Monique worked with me to get the most out of the number of sessions we had. We worked together on a series of lasting changes that I was able to implement almost immediately in my life in an organic way, immediately easing some of the anxiety around my issues. These changes have been something that I have really come to appreciate as I see how much impact they have had on my life. I would highly recommend Monique.

I think that everyone should experience life coaching at some point if it is available to them. Monique helped me understand how to identify, prioritise and work towards my personal and professional goals independently enabling me to ‘put my own oxygen mask on first’ - this is a phrase I understand in a new way since working with Monique. Thank you, Monique, for helping me understand how to spin life’s many plates more seamlessly. We worked remotely during lockdown and it was a great experience. You can benefit from Monique’s help no matter where in the world you are.

Monique has been involved in my start-up from the ground level. Initially providing business and financial planning advice, she then took a pivotal role in our successful capital raise and has since helped shape the company’s marketing and HR strategies as we geared for launch. Monique has pushed me to follow my instincts on major business decisions and realise the importance of networking. Her list of contacts is invaluable for high-level access to a broad range of sectors, and her personable approach and extensive experience also makes Monique a great sounding board on a wide range of topics. A genuine and enthusiastic person – Monique is an asset to any fledgling entrepreneur.

I loved how you work from a place that the individual already has all of the tools and answers to help themselves. That starts everything off from an optimistic and positive outlook. Then from there, I like how you use prompts and questions to get us to dig deeper to understand whatever challenges we are facing better. Also, I found it useful how I had to put together a list of things I wanted to work on. The fact that I had two weeks in between sessions was beneficial because it really allowed things to percolate. I also think you are just a naturally intuitive person, so you know how to connect with people. Finally, the tweaks you gave me were small but major in terms of benefit and impact. I would honestly rate the experience a 10.

We worked with Monique for just over a year. Monique started by learning about and growing an understanding of business, starting with the staff at all levels and also looking at our structures, processes and procedures and trading history. She used this to identify gaps in our business and areas that required development. This then formed the basis of a plan that was designed together to help us to improve the running of our business from the ground up.

Once the plan was agreed, Monique went to work using her vast experience from within the foodservice industry to help us develop and formalize our business and staff structure which resulted in an improved working relationship with our staff and clear communication path. This coaching activity helped us to understand the importance of clear communications with our staff, job descriptions, conflict management and staff development. In essence the basics of turning a startup into a more mature and long term business, and putting in place the basic things that may have been previously considered not important. This helped improve staff morale and performance, not just as a one-off exercise but as something that could be maintained and managed on an ongoing basis.

Monique frequently visited the cafe giving us valuable feedback, not just on food and service, but also on smaller details that would perhaps be missed by the untrained eye. This helped us to develop and improve our service and the dining experience for our customers.

Our collaboration was a 10! I don't remember how we got there exactly but I realised that what was blocking me was letting go of one identity - the outsider artist and recognising that I had outgrown that self and claiming the self that I'd been working hard to bring into being. Since our meeting I've made progress personally and professionally, I am more aware of my behaviour and how I present myself. If I'd have not got what I wanted or needed from our session I would have kept going / searching but I didn't which is proof for me that it was efficacious. I would recommend you as a coach because you listened and understood what I needed, read between the lines perhaps, asked good questions and I had an actionable take away. I believe that there needs to be trust for coaching to work and I trusted you and valued what you had to offer. We were lucky in that a friendship / trust had been established beforehand, but that said it's also perhaps a challenge to work with someone you have become friends with because it requires a different kind of relationship / levels of trust. I am fortunate that my trust was well placed, and that our professional and personal relationships are confluent.

As a solo founder looking to expand my business, Monique not only helped with the practical steps which prepared me for finding investment but was also someone that I could confide in, bounce ideas off and learn from. Her honest and direct approach to business is refreshing and helped me build confidence in my abilities as an entrepreneur. Running a business can be incredibly lonely sometimes so having a mentor like Monique - who would always check up on me and was readily available to meet for a chat - provided a huge amount of support and resilience throughout a very challenging time.

Monique, I love you! I can't emphasise enough what a shift I've had on your calling me out on my stoicism - it's been revelatory. You have a genius knack for the most appropriate kick up the backside. Thank you.

I had no hesitations about working with you as such, it’s just whether I needed coaching what type of support I / we needed - the understanding that whoever we worked with truly understood the challenges of a business like ours. I have noticed that I am much more proactive in strategising and organising my time - prioritising - structure - being able to see clearly where the gaps are and what needs attention - without losing touch of the need for flexibility and creativity in the business. With your guidance and strategies I have re-framed my mindset and the beliefs I attached to sales and selling; lining up, and closing, high value business development opportunities and projects feels more natural. What I liked best about our collaboration is your holistic approach - structure - flexibility - emotion - physical - psychological - sensitivity - business therapy and being extracted (nicely) from the day to day running of the business and clearly being able to see where the issues lie and working towards short and long term solutions. I recommend you without a doubt.

I worked with Monique over a period of 3 months as I was transitioning from a corporate career into launching my own business, while also navigating big changes in my personal life. Her support and expertise was invaluable in helping me identify and work through my strengths and perceived blockers both on a personal and professional level. I feel lucky to have found a coach who not only helped me uncover my beliefs, patterns and linked behaviours so I could build a more balanced and fulfilling life, but also guided and helped me through starting a new professional chapter. Thank you for everything!
