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.
