Monique Helstrom
…Speaker, Coach, and Recruiter for Talented Assistants and Busy Executives.
Creating the foundation to build a career, a business, and a life without limits.
Foundation: (n) the basis or groundwork of anything.
How does one build and maintain a solid partnership, team, or business?
It takes self-awareness, confidence, and skilled communication.
All things we rarely, if ever, are taught how to do.
I’ve designed customized coaching programs, keynotes and workshops, online classes, and recruitment services to fill that very gap.
Why else?
WHY MONIQUE?
As the “How” to Simon Sinek’s “Why” for almost a decade, I worked as the Executive Assistant, Producer, and “Chief of Simon,” New York Times best-selling author and TED celebrity.
I produced everything he did to inspire and scale his movement, including launching three of his best-selling books, developing his world-famous speaking career, and coordinating his media appearances.
I had the opportunity to meet thousands (and thousands) of people, all of whom were unique and special. Yet, the issues they faced were quite similar.
What do I bring to the table and how can I use those skills to amplify a partnership, team, or organization?
My experience gave rise to my practical and honest approach to individual excellence, team collaboration, and how communication is at the center of it all.
I have 23 years of experience developing humans and building organizations in both the corporate world and small businesses alike.
I have been an Assistant on and off since I was 18, taking after my mother, aunt, and grandmother who were Assistants and Office Managers their whole lives (plus, my sister is a COO). Organization and prioritization are in my blood.
Named in PeopleHum’s “Top 100 Global Thought Leaders that will inspire you” in 2020 and 2021.
I am one of the very few recruiters specializing in the Executive and Assistant partnership.
Speaking topics include self-awareness, human skills, executive presence, confidence building, professional communication, feedback and hard conversations, organizational development, and building powerful partnerships and teams.
“I am obsessed with growth and development. I am on a mission to show others that they are limitless, and it all starts from within.”

KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS
Some speakers inspire, and some give you theories or opinions, but they don’t always give you the tangible steps to achieve your goals.
