You are not “just” anything.
You are…
Office Managers. Administrative Assistant. Assistants. Executive Assistants. Executive Assistants to the C-suite. Administrative Support. Operations. Project Coordinators. Chiefs of Staff. Executive Business Partners.
You are not “just an Assistant.” And you are not a unicorn.
You are a real human with exceptional talents that very few people possess.
“Single most valuable thing I learned was this quote from Monique:
‘If you don’t feel good enough, no amount of validation will matter.’”
— Picket Street Administrative Retreat Event Attendee
NEED A SPEAKER?
Does your audience need a fresh approach to their work? Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.
I have a deep passion and appreciation for this partnership. I spent 15 years in the demanding role of an Executive Assistant, including my last decade as the “Chief of Simon Sinek.” During that time, I met with thousands of Executives and worked with thousands of their Assistants. I have seen partnerships at their best and at their worst, and I know the building blocks for both.

“I wanted to become a better Chief of Staff. Little did I know that working with Monique would help me cut through the external noise and get to the heart of what I really wanted, and where I truly needed to grow. In short, she taught me how to feel! Her straightforward approach, thoughtful questions, insightful lessons, and practical exercises gave me the tools and a whole new language to wake up in all areas of my life.
When you're ready to make a real change in your life, call Monique!

What will we discuss?
Before coaching with Monique, I felt unprepared for my new role as an assistant to a high-profile person. I desperately needed someone who could prepare me for the road ahead and teach me the necessary skills to do excellent work. I cannot express how helpful Monique been. She is my coach, my counselor, and someone I completely trust. She has set me up for success, helped me navigate the unexpected, and taught me how to communicate with my executive. She encourages me to grow and maximize my strengths and urges me to take care of myself along the way.
Best coach I have ever had.”
— Whitney Caudill, Director of Community Relations, Hosanna Wong Ministries

Your willingness to speak with other admin is a blessing and I hope you know that you made me feel loved, supported, and safe. You lived your Why with us and, honestly, I cried after you left because of how much everything you said hit me.”
