Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coaching? How are Business & personal Coaching Different?
Both business and personal coaching focus on growth and goal attainment and overlap in several ways.
Business coaching is tailored more as a professional service designed to help business leaders and entrepreneurs reach their (or their organization’s) mission. The process provides guidance and support to identify and work through challenges, develop necessary skills, and set and achieve goals. Through business coaching, business leaders can gain insight into their current practices and identify areas of improvement or opportunities for growth. As your coach, we will employ a variety of techniques, tools and strategies to help you gain clarity and focus on your organizational and professional objectives.
Personal coaching is distinct in that it focuses on helping you to identify and achieve personal life goals. Our co-active, partnership approach recognizes individual strengths to help you unlock your potential and make positive changes in your life. Coaching can focus on specific areas such as career, relationships, health, and finances, or it can be take a more holistic approach and look at how you seek to achieve overall wellbeing. Our work together can help you gain clarity on your direction in life, and work through any challenges you may be facing.

TESTIMONIALS
“Monica has been an absolute gem to work with. Our agency hired her to help strategize improved program operations and to guide us through understanding, applying, and implementing the numerous grant opportunities coming from the State. Not only has she excelled in doing that, but we have started using her for guidance on everything from brainstorming wellness initiatives to how to operationalize new positions.
One of the great things about working with Monica is her ability to manage our weekly needs while not losing sight of the big picture focus—this helped to keep us on track. She is highly flexible in her approach and worked well with the full range of people in our agency. We would often spring new meetings or last-minute invites with other senior leadership to meet with and she handled everything we threw at her with grace and intelligence.
On a personal level, she is a joy to work with. She is smart, funny, straight-forward, and not easily ruffled. She smoothly handled all of our random needs, requests and ideas and somehow arranged all those things into a clear plan. She is a pleasure to work with and we appreciate all that she has done for us.”
“Shawn Brown is one of those unique individuals that can build a connection with anyone and bring out their best. Whether it’s helping someone find their confidence or uncovering obstacles preventing them from growing or preparing them for the impossible – he can do it! He’s compassionate, funny, engaging and wise. Regardless of your age, interests, educational or income levels – you will find a connection with Shawn that will lead to fast trust and the opportunity to be your best self!
Not only have I experienced the casual brilliance Shawn brings, I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing about his impact from others. Talk about six degrees of separation – I was recommending Shawn to a friend and they immediately knew who I was talking about because he had already made an impact on others in their circle. Take the time and make the investment in yourself, you won’t regret it.”
“Monica has always exhibited professionalism to the highest degree. She provided amazing support as a professional coach, pushing us to new learning, insight, action, and growth.
Additionally, her business acumen and strategy are unparalleled. She partnered with us to provide excellent thought leadership, creative business and program strategy, and innovative solutions.
We were impressed by Monica’s knowledge and expertise in so many areas of focus, including regulations, clinical practice, funding, public relations and more. She is also excellent in design and curriculum, and in facilitation and teaching. I recommend her highly for any organization looking to move to the next level!”
