"[Monica] is a critical friend. She will tell you things that others hold back because you are the senior leader. But you know she has your best interests at heart."

"The way you can work with people and help unlock their full potential has massive leverage and benefit to our business. What I admire most is the way you challenge me – both intellectually and the drive to do everything even better."

"[Monica] brings insights and learning and offers different perspectives that are often overlooked. She challenges when needed and pushes back after some considerable thought – “shooting from the hip” isn’t one of her skill sets. "

"In a firm full of people with high IQ, it’s welcome that we shine a light on the emotional side too. Whilst we prize IQ, I don’t think we’ve historically appreciated the importance of EQ. That it’s (rightly) risen in prominence is largely down to a few people, of whom you’re one."

"When setting up an award winning charity, Monica was one of the first people I approached to ask if she would consider sitting on the Board of Trustees. Having worked with Monica previously, I knew she would bring dynamism, a keen strategic eye and some straight talking into the mix!"

"Give a Dog a Bone… and an animal a home, is a unique and award-winning charity – tackling loneliness for older adults, via animal companionship. As Founder and Chief Executive, over the past 10 years, Monica has supported me personally to continually improve the vision and mission of our charitable offering."

"Monica has helped me with leadership, building relationships, prioritisation of personal goals, interview prep and career advice. Her coaching has not only helped identify areas in which I can grow but has provided tangible tasks and targets that I can use to see my progression throughout the year."
