Courageous conversations

A space to reflect, learn, and lead with courage,

one conversation at a time.

Let's begin here

Lead with clarity, courage, and confidence

1:1 Coaching

For leaders ready to speak their truth and lead with authenticity.

Lead with clarity.
Speak with compassion.
Transform what matters most.

Because it’s not just about having honest conversations, it’s about doing it in a way that builds trust, strengthens long-term relationships, influences meaningful results, and aligns how you show up with who you truly are.

Team Workshops

Build the skills for radical candor, honest feedback, and conflict transformation.

How do we navigate vulnerability, power dynamics, and emotion, without losing ourselves or the relationships that matter?

These workshops create a brave space to practice real conversations, shift unspoken tensions, and build trust that lasts.

Leadership intensives

Half-day or full-day retreats designed to deepen trust, elevate communication, and unlock courageous leadership.

These immersive experiences help leaders, teams, and change-makers develop the mindset and skillset to have Courageous Conversations, the ones that create clarity, strengthen connection, and move the work forward with purpose and alignment.

Your Invitation to Transformational Leadership

A Track Record of Transformation

In over two decades of work, I've witnessed and guided powerful breakthroughs for leaders and teams.

Together with my clients, we have:

Navigated courageous conversations: from resolving deep-seated conflicts to opening up honest dialogue, building trust even when topics were tough
Unlocked leadership potential: discovering hidden strengths and confidence, enabling emerging leaders to step up and seasoned leaders to reach new heights
Strengthened team culture: fostering environments of trust, inclusion, and collaboration where creativity thrives and everyone feels valued
Driven meaningful change: translating big visions into actionable strategy and results – from social impact initiatives to organizational transformations that last

Grounded Presence & Radical Empathy

What truly sets me apart as a coach is the space of trust and safety I create. I bring a grounded, calming presence to every conversation, listening deeply and meeting you exactly where you are. With radical empathy, I make sure you feel seen and understood, free to share the real challenges on your mind and heart.

I also won’t shy away from the hard truths. In fact, I’ll help you confront the “undiscussables” – those sensitive issues or unspoken hurdles holding you or your team back. With clarity and courage, I guide you in shining light on the shadows so you can move forward with newfound insight and confidence. It’s transformation rooted in honesty, compassion, and unwavering support.

"I was contemplating leaving my organization or stepping down from my position as a team leader. I was burned out, overwhelmed, and very unhappy. I appreciated Monika meeting me where I was throughout our journey together. I feel like I've completely turned things around for me and my team. Overall, I'd say I've learned to really love being a leader. I appreciate my leadership style much more and I am more confident to step into situations that would have scared me away before. I feel like working with Monika has really made it possible for me to really pour love and attention into my workspace. So I am very grateful for her and all the ways that she's helped me." - Taiawentón:ti' Chelsea Sunday, Whole Community Language Revitalizer

"After launching my own sustainable clothing brand and setting up the internet store, I thought the toughest part was behind me. Couldn't be more wrong! I found myself desperately trying to juggle family life, the creative process, business, and marketing. I felt stuck. I felt I had no time to be creative anymore. That's where Monika came in. She helped me find MY OWN WAY of running the business." - Zuzanna @DressYourColor
