Did you know that employees waste an average of $1500 plus an eight hour workday for every crucial conversation employees avoid? Did you also know that in the organizations where employees were able to candidly and effectively speak up about concerns or issues, the projects were less than half as likely to fail? Over the past 22 years, Monique has built companies, elevated teams and ignited relationships. She has toured internationally, delivering her vital content to organizations large and small. With nearly a decade as the Executive Assistant, Producer, and “Chief of Simon Sinek,” New York Times Best-Selling author and TED celebrity, Monique learned the power of active communication, empathetic leadership, and taking ownership of oneself. In her dynamic workshops and keynote addresses, Monique will share her adventures (and misadventures) of being the HOW to Simon Sinek’s WHY and her observations working with thought leaders, executives, celebrities, educators, social activists, entrepreneurs, HR, and assistants alike. Throughout this experience, she gained invaluable experience on how to build and sustain the machine behind an incredibly successful and ever-changing business. She learned how partnerships work. She learned the value of communication. She learned how to be limitless. Now she gets to share those skills with you.
