COACHING
Executive and leadership coaching for leaders operating at the intersection of technology, people and business
Uncertainty has always existed.
What’s different today is the sheer accumulation of it: the pace of change, the volume and complexity of consequential decisions, and the visibility of how leaders carry themselves under pressure.
I work with leaders in technology and technology-enabled organisations who want to make a positive difference. I came to coaching through 15 years of my own experience as a senior leader and operator across technology startups and enterprises, including senior product leadership roles at the BBC and Bain & Company.

What shifts and expands through our work
You step away from the noise, expectations and pressures. You gain perspectives, name the assumptions underneath your decisions and indecisions, and you explore the options. From that quality of thinking, something shifts. Not because you've been given answers, but because you've found your own.
Over time, clients tend to find the courage to have the honest conversations they’ve been avoiding, the ones that change the dynamic entirely. They feel more grounded, more attuned to their strengths and more themselves. They gain clarity about what matters and confidence to act. And their decisions become sharper and more timely.
“Monika was able to peel back layers to help me to really get to the root of the issue.”
“I felt supported, safe and heard. I have walked away from the session with absolute clarity about something I need to do.”
Senior Leader
"I came to Monika feeling unsure about my career direction.”
“Through our sessions, I identified my strengths and values, which helped me focus on the right opportunities. I gained clarity and the confidence to explore more opportunities, including outside my field. Her approach suited my neurodivergent brain. I felt listened to, supported, and challenged throughout.”
PHOEBE, CHIEF OF STAFF
“Her ability to constructively challenge my thinking while providing a safe space for reflection has helped me grow significantly as a leader.”
“Monika guided me in developing clarity around my leadership style, improving decision-making, and building confidence in navigating complex challenges. What stands out is her talent for asking the right questions that unlock new perspectives and lead to meaningful action.”
Tim Bevans, CEO
How will you know if we’re a fit
I believe coaching is a partnership. One that is both supportive and challenging, exploratory and practical.
Where useful, I offer tried and tested tools to sharpen thinking, not replace it. I'll ask the questions you haven't asked yourself or avoided exploring. I'll hold the mirror honestly and without judgement, and create space for you to hear yourself think. And I'll hold what you share with care and in confidence.
Our coaching partnership works when there's genuine commitment, honest conversation, and clarity on what we're working towards. If you're ready to do that work, we're likely to work well together.
If I'm not what you need, I'll say so and will point you toward someone who might be. And if the timing isn't right, you're always welcome to get in touch in the future.
Our discovery call is just that – a conversation.
Paying it forward
Widening access to leadership coaching matters to me. Each year, I offer a limited number of pro bono and reduced-fee coaching partnerships to aspiring and seasoned leaders working in charities and non-profits focused on climate emergency, women’s and mental health, and disability empowerment.
