Coaching sessions with Monika offered me a lot of motivation and self-reflection. I started working with her after being laid off, and our conversations gave me clarity around the kind of work and industry I’d like to pursue moving forward. She’s acted as a consistent sounding board and gut check during my job hunt.

Our financial runway exercise allowed me to worry less around money and focus on seeking the right next role. I recommend Monika’s coaching for a number of reasons, especially because she’s relatable and has personal experience in successfully switching industries.

What I appreciated most about Monika's coaching style is how she understood when to push and when to provide support, creating a personalized experience tailored to my needs. She celebrates every success, big or small, and her enthusiasm is contagious. If you're looking for a coach who genuinely cares about your growth and well-being, I highly recommend Monika.

Working with Monika at The Springboard has brought me tremendous professional clarity. Monika is the best of coaches. All the breakthrough moments came out of our sessions. She observed what I didn't admit, and challenged me in holistic ways. This silver lining of my layoff – creating my business Velocity Ave – would not have happened without our conversations.

Working with Monika as my coach has been really enjoyable. We worked together as I finished graduate school and began working full-time.  I highly recommend Monika as a coach if you’re managing a life or career transition. 
 

In one of my favorite coaching sessions, we dug into my personal and professional values. It was reassuring to reconnect with these values that had been a part of me for so long but hadn’t been top of mind in recent years. Using these core principles as a guide has been super helpful while navigating through career and life changes.

Working with Monika was a rewarding experience. Her coaching style, goal-oriented approach, and ability to break down objectives into manageable steps all contributed to my professional growth and readiness for the future.

 

We set clear action items between sessions, ranging from small, immediate tasks to larger, long-term objectives. This made it easy to track my goals and progress over time. She helped me define and articulate my goals. She has a talent for breaking down larger objectives into smaller, more attainable milestones. I'm grateful for the positive impact she's had on my career journey and would highly recommend her coaching services.

Working with Monika has been incredible. She brings so many of the qualities that make a truly great coach. I love how our sessions build on each other, so we never lose momentum and can dive right into the work. Monika also holds me accountable for the action items we discuss, which keeps me moving forward.
 

Our conversations often feel like brainstorming sessions. Monika helps me explore different perspectives and come up with new ideas. This collaborative approach has been incredibly valuable in helping me achieve my goals.

Working with Monika held me accountable for actually doing what I said I would do to achieve my vision. I juggle a lot as a working parent, it’s easy to say ‘I’ll focus on myself another time.’ Coaching created space to focus on my own needs – ultimately being a win for me and my whole family.
