Mona's approach to coaching is action-based, in which she provides the tools to create sustainable changes in behavior. She helps you self-reflect and identify the core of matters. Her technique ensures that answers to critical situations and your actions to solve them come from your own process of introspection. Mona's methodology is highly effective, as it drives you to make that approach your own.
Mona has a talent for understanding the unsaid and asking the right questions to talk about the real issues. Her questions were always spot on, made me think, evaluated my thoughts and feelings, and then through my responses, led to the right action. She is a wonderful leadership coach, and her insight was very valuable to my growth. I appreciate the way she challenged my way of thinking, and how she showed me a different way to look at a situation or consider a different approach. She always tied it back to our Personal Leadership Survey on the "why" I might think or feel that way and how to make slight adjustments to shift from reactive to proactive. Talking with Mona always felt natural and comfortable. I'm much happier in my day because of the advice she gave around delegation and how to put what's important to me first. I spend more time on my family, developing myself, and focusing on the right tasks at work. I am a more productive leader now, and that feels great.
I've worked with some very good coaches over the years, but what distinguishes Mona from others is her unique ability to make a hard-driving, results-oriented business executive focus on the heart of matters in an effort to activate thinking and to take actions that make a difference.
Mona Kelly is an excellent strategic partner verses a traditional coach; with a thought provoking style that unlocks your intuitive sense. With a core focus on results, she builds dialogue to move you to the next level as a person and Executive. She expects results; driving to the core of complexity and distilling the gray matter that can fog a course of direction. She won’t let you settle for less than the best result.
When I first met Mona I was going through a period in my life where I was not sure what I wanted to do. I am a psychotherapist, however during that time I was not sure if I wanted to practice traditional therapy. I loved working with people, but I was frustrated with the traditional models that psychology offered; those models look at clients through the lens of dysfunctional and mental instability.
I sought Mona's services because I wanted to change careers. What I learned with Mona's help was that I wanted to go about the business of therapy in a different way. With Mona's support, I went to Columbia University and obtained a coaching certification. I now support clients using a coaching-counseling hybrid. I went from earning less than $20,000 per year to a 6-figure income in just one year. Mona helped me get the career I was searching for. Now I get to help people and earn a great living. I would not be where I am today without Mona's guidance. If you want to turbo-charge your career, Mona is the one to see! I highly recommend her services.
I had the pleasure of working with Mona at the Coca-Cola Company. Mona brings a diversity of global business experience working as a coach, mentor and strategic adviser to individuals and leaders at all levels of corporate and non-corporate organizations. Mona is a bold, honest, and values-based leader, coach, and adviser. She has mentored many across The Coca-Cola Company and through her volunteer endeavors. Notably, Mona has coached global function leaders, operational leaders and pipeline talent in the signature development programs of the Coca-Cola Company. I highly recommend Mona to anyone seeking a personal coach, a sound board or a strategic adviser.
