The Confidence Queen
What if the right story could transform not only your business but your life? Monique Bradley doesn’t just believe it—she’s lived it.
As New Zealand’s first recipient of a Masters of Creative Practice focused on keynote speaking, Monique is redefining how storytelling drives success. With over 25 years of experience captivating audiences as a keynote speaker, MC, and communication coach, she has reached over 200 million people worldwide. Monique’s expertise lies in transforming complex ideas into compelling narratives that inspire action and deliver results.
Her client portfolio includes global and national brands: Xbox, Dilmah Tea, DeLonghi, Kenwood, MBIE, AA Insurance, United Fire Brigades Association of NZ, Diabetes NZ, and Kidney Kids. These collaborations have equipped Monique with unparalleled insights into what it takes to engage, connect, and convert.
In 2024, Monique achieved another historic milestone as the first Kiwi keynote speaker to take the stage at the BNI Global Convention in Hawaii, an honour that underscored her global reputation as a thought leader in storytelling. That same year, Monique was also awarded Professional Speakers Association of New Zealand’s MC of the Year 2024/25, a testament to her unmatched ability to command a room and create unforgettable audience experiences.
Monique’s keynotes aren’t just presentations—they’re experiences. She delivers actionable strategies with humour and heart, empowering audiences to harness the power of storytelling to achieve visibility, credibility, and profitability. From her hilarious lessons learned in TV shopping, where she mastered “Stories That Sell,” to her insights into creating team harmony through storytelling, Monique equips leaders and teams with tools to thrive in business and beyond.
But Monique’s true magic lies in her ability to help people rewrite the stories holding them back. Her transformational keynotes inspire resilience, confidence, and the courage to lead authentically.
For event planners looking to deliver a keynote that entertains, educates, and leaves a lasting impact, Monique Bradley is the name that belongs on your stage.
Because the story of your event deserves to be unforgettable confidence, and the transformative power of storytelling.
With over 25 years of experience as an MC, speaker, and coach, she has become renowned for her authenticity and profound insight into the journey of self-empowerment. Monique’s story is one of overcoming adversity and confronting imposter syndrome head-on, finding her true voice and reclaiming her identity along the way.
Her journey is not simply about speaking but about encouraging others to tap into the unshakeable confidence that lies within their own stories. This path has not always been smooth; like many, Monique faced moments of self-doubt, wrestling with the internal dialogue questioning her worth and capabilities. Through the medium of storytelling—both her own and the voices she has helped others amplify—she has unlocked the tools for profound personal and professional growth.
Monique’s philosophy rests on three pillars: Visibility, Credibility, and Profitability, which she believes are the foundation of a compelling personal brand. This approach empowers individuals to step forward authentically, connect deeply, and cultivate meaningful success. Her achievements, including winning the “MC of the Year” award from the Professional Speakers Association of New Zealand, reflect her commitment to helping others own their narrative and build enduring confidence.
Central to her work is the belief that confidence is not an innate trait but a skill developed through embracing vulnerability, connecting with others, and reclaiming one’s story. Monique’s passion for storytelling shines in every interaction, inspiring others to embrace who they are, communicate with clarity, and live a life of purpose and empowerment.
