Since the start of the year my associate and I have been meeting regularly with Monica on issues relating to overall work performance and have thus far, witnessed a remarkable transformation.  With Monica’s help, we’ve been able to drill down into the issues using real life examples, and to speak candidly about them in a relaxed, private environment. 

Like the great coaches, Monica is a keen listener who seeks first to understand before recommending simple, straightforward solutions and providing unbiased encouragement. 

I unequivocally recommend Monica to anyone seeking a coach that listens, provides solution, encouragement and support every step of the way, and enjoys helping others.  Without her help, we would not have been able to achieve such outstanding results within a very limited timeframe. 

Thanks Monica for helping us become better at what we do and who we are!

What helped make it happen is Monica's dynamic personality, her candidness and her ability to tailor her coaching style to individual members' opportunities/needs.  I personally benefited by sharpening my leadership skills."

In the past two years, she provided me with high quality "reflective back-talk", or the plain but often unspoken truth about perceptions others had of me that I needed to face into and address to increase my organizational impact. 

This, combined with helping me to more clearly articulate my career goals, enabled me to realize I needed to switch companies to get closer to achieving my goals.  Monica is very people-perceptive and knowledgeable about how to improve one’s performance in organizations as well as how to better manage their career.  And at all times, I truly felt she cared about me which comes from her caring nature.  I highly recommend having a leadership coach and that Monica Blake be that person!"

Working with Monica I have become a more effective manager, and found my spark of inspiration again.  She has helped me remove “career blockers” that no one else has had the courage or insight to share with me in the past.

When I am about to take on difficult interpersonal situations, I consult Monica.  She provides clarity to problems and new perspectives, and has given me extremely good advice time and time again. She is clear, concise and courageous enough  of a communicator and individual to tell it like it is, skillfully guide me into solving the problem."
 

I have changed jobs/careers several times in my life, and had always done my own research and made my own decisions - with decidedly mixed results. Monica was extremely helpful in my most recent career/life-change decision process. 

She listens well, provides excellent feedback and guidance, and was very helpful in keeping me focused on what was important to me. I am sure that I arrived at a better career decision than I would have reached on my own, and I feel very strongly that it is an excellent decision.

I am very happy I had the opportunity to have Monica as my career coach and would recommend her highly to anyone."
