Work with Monique
Training & Coaching.
I coach speakers. I build confident communicators. I train rooms.
Whether you are developing your own keynote, stepping into leadership, or bringing the power of storytelling and communication to an entire organisation, the work starts in the same place: what are you trying to say, why does it matter, and how do you communicate it so somebody else cares?
Monique provides speaker strategy, keynote development, public speaking training, presentation skills workshops and communication training for leaders, teams and aspiring speakers across New Zealand and internationally.
Storytelling is the method. Greater confidence, clarity and impact are the outcomes.
How Monique works
Three ways to work together.
One to one
I coach speakers.
Private coaching with Monique goes much deeper than learning how to speak confidently in front of a room. It is for aspiring, emerging and established speakers who want to develop the idea, message, keynote and positioning behind their speaking.
You may be defining your keynote, finding the meaning in a powerful story, strengthening a signature talk, clarifying your positioning or becoming more commercially relevant as a speaker.
Together, we can work on
- •Your central idea
- •Keynote development
- •Story selection
- •Message clarity
- •Keynote structure
- •Audience relevance
- •Speaker positioning
- •Delivery and stagecraft
- •Professional speaker strategy
- •The bigger direction behind your speaking
Every session is bespoke and built around where you are right now. There is no generic coaching programme and no predetermined script. Sessions are available online and in person.
Professionals and leaders
I build confident communicators.
One-to-one communication coaching for professionals and leaders who want clearer, more intentional communication in meetings, conversations, and presentations.
Whether you need to present ideas with authority, navigate difficult conversations, or deliver concise messaging without getting lost in the details, this coaching focuses on closing the gap between what you intend to say and what others understand.
We can focus on
- •Confidence in meetings
- •Concise messaging
- •Difficult conversations
- •Presenting with authority
- •Leadership communication
- •Stakeholder influence
- •Managing nerves
- •Thinking on your feet
- •Clarity of thought
- •Executive presence
Ideal for individuals stepping into leadership, preparing for a high-stakes presentation, or simply wanting to command a room with greater presence and clarity.
Teams and organisations
I train rooms.
Monique delivers storytelling, communication and presentation training for business, leadership and sales teams in workshops, half-day sessions and full-day intensives across New Zealand and internationally.
Every session is designed around what your team actually needs. Not a generic workshop. Not a slide deck someone else made. The content reflects where your people are, what they are trying to achieve and the specific communication challenges they are facing.
Training can include
- •Business storytelling
- •Leadership communication
- •Sales storytelling
- •Presentation skills
- •Confidence and clarity
- •Audience engagement
- •Communicating ideas effectively
- •Collaborative communication
- •Building trust through story
- •Speaking with greater impact
Available online and in person. For leaders who want to lead more effectively. For sales teams who want to sell with trust instead of pressure.
For organisations that want storytelling and communication woven into the way their people connect, present and lead.
When you communicate with confidence and clarity, people understand your message, trust your direction and know what to do next.
The programs
Structured programs and workshops you can join.
Alongside bespoke coaching and team training, Monique offers four structured programmes for individuals, speakers, business owners and organisations.
01
For individuals and teams
Speak with Confidence, Clarity & IMPACT
A practical workshop for anyone who knows they have something worth saying but struggles to say it with confidence.
This workshop helps individuals and teams communicate with greater clarity, presence and conviction. You will work on managing nerves, structuring what you want to say, storytelling, delivery, audience connection and thinking on your feet.
You speak. You practise. You receive real-time feedback. Because confidence is built through competence.
02
For speakers
Story to Stage
For people who are serious about becoming speakers.
Story to Stage helps you move from having expertise, experiences and something worth saying to developing your message, building your keynote, getting stage-ready and learning how to position yourself as a professional speaker.
It is not simply about becoming more confident on stage. It is about knowing what you want to say, why it matters, how to structure and deliver it, and how to create opportunities around your speaking.
03
For business owners
Story to Sales
For business owners and entrepreneurs who want to use storytelling to demonstrate value, build genuine trust and convert conversations into clients without pressure, scripts or the ick.
Story to Sales helps you identify the stories already sitting inside your business and learn how to use them strategically.
People do not always remember the pitch. They remember the story that helped them understand why it mattered.
04
For teams and organisations
Collaborative Communication
A half-day or full-day corporate workshop for teams and organisations who want to build stronger trust, connection and communication through storytelling practice.
Collaborative Communication gives your people a practical way of understanding one another, sharing experiences, listening differently and communicating with greater empathy and clarity.
It helps turn culture from something written on a wall into something people actively build together.
