Executive coaching for leaders operating at the intersection of technology, people and business
Expand your leadership range as your scope and pressure grow, while staying true to who you are
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.
Where is your current way of leading starting to break down?
You are ambitious and committed to making a difference through your work, but your role is expanding beyond what has made you successful. Decisions and relationships you face are becoming more complex, visible and harder to navigate.
You want to shift from overthinking and overworking, move from reacting to responding, and start making deliberate choices. When you’re choosing deliberately, you’re leading with agency, not from pressure. And people around you feel the difference. That’s where you and those you lead can thrive.
What we will work on together
The work we will do is set in your reality and in service of your goals.
We work with your decisions, relationships and context. With your presence, patterns, assumptions, values and strengths that shape how you lead under pressure.
Here is what we typically work on:
Stepping into a broader role where what worked before is no longer enough. Recalibrating how you lead, decide and act at the level the role now requires.
Navigating the gap between the leader you're expected to be and who you feel yourself to be. Building the confidence and courage to lead from who you actually are.
Making high-stakes decisions without the certainty you'd like and preparing for the conversations and consequences that follow.
Navigating misalignment, competing agendas or tension with peers, stakeholders, your board or your own leadership team.
Leading through significant change, restructures, layoffs, strategy pivots, mergers, without losing the trust of the people around you.
Creating space to think in a role that can feel increasingly isolating.
Building the relationships and influence that let you lead effectively beyond your immediate team.
Developing the people around you. Creating the conditions for your team to think and act effectively, and to do their best work without depending on you for every decision.
Preparing for a significant transition. Working out not just what comes next, but who you want to be in that chapter.
The work is not about fixing your leadership style or adopting someone’s playbook.
There isn’t a single leadership approach that always works.
It’s about expanding your leadership range, so you have more choice in how you lead, decide and act in the moments that matter most, and not default to what’s familiar or comfortable.
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.

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.
"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.

How will this work in practice
Our initial 1:1 executive coaching partnership starts with a 3 or 6-month commitment.
Discovery conversation
A confidential space to explore your situation, goals, what you want to work towards, and whether this is the right fit. Once we schedule our initial conversation, you’ll receive a few reflective intake questions to help us both prepare for our discovery call.
03
Ongoing coaching partnership
Fortnightly or monthly 60-minute sessions focused on real decisions, situations and actions; the frequency depends on what you want to work towards.
01
Coaching agreement
We define what matters, how we’ll work together, and what success looks like for you.
04
Between sessions
Light-touch support over email or WhatsApp, practical reflective practices, and accountability support, where useful, optional short spot sessions for high-pressure moments.
02
First coaching conversation
A 90-minute session where we explore further where you’re right now, what’s holding you back and what’s serving you - and what might become possible.
05
Working with organisations
I work with a small number of organisations each year to support leaders through transitions, expanded responsibility, or periods of significant change.
If you're looking to invest in a leader on your team, someone stepping up, navigating a difficult season, or needing a thinking partnership that internal support can't always provide, I’d welcome a conversation.
Paying it forward
Expanding access to coaching beyond commercial contexts matters to me.
Each year, I offer a limited number of pro bono and reduced-fee coaching partnerships to individuals working in charities and non-profits focused on climate emergency, women’s health, mental wellbeing and disability empowerment.
