Monique Helstrom

Monique is passionate about helping both visionaries and those that support them understand their essential and unique role in making great ideas – and great partnerships – come to life.

For the past 21 years, Monique has methodically moved projects, products, campaigns, events, and entire businesses from concept to reality using her energetic combination of:

• Functional solutions and achievable outcomes;
• Well-defined and specific short-term action plans;
• Harmonious team building that relies on streamlined goals;
• A practical understanding of how to achieve ultimate success;
• And loyalty, dedication, discipline and encouragement.

Monique knows inspiration only comes to life if there is a good process to back it up and thus has perfected the art of making things happen. After nearly a decade as the Chief of Simon Sinek, New York Times Best-Selling author and TED celebrity, Monique now uses her unique set of skills and experiences to build, organize, and manifest her clients’ and partners’ dreams. Monique understands how to thrive in an ever- changing environment and build the consummate partnership between Executives and their Assistants.

Monique’s unparalleled experiences and perspective shifts have equipped her with the tools necessary to decipher and disentangle common issues plaguing Assistants around the globe. She offers keynotes and intensive workshops focused on helping Assistants (Executive Assistants, Support Staff, Coordinators, Logistics, Administrative, etc.) reclaim their purpose, rejuvenate their performance, and flourish in their dynamic environment.

Additionally, the fundamental skills of how to appropriately utilize an Assistant are not taught in academics or in business. To fill this need, Monique offers keynotes and workshops guiding solopreneurs, small business owners, and corporate Executives on how to operate with, delegate to, and cultivate a strong relationship with an Assistant. Ultimately, Executives need to focus on building the business, not be weighed down by inefficiencies.

Monique recognizes that no one person is more important to an organization than another, and she helps both Executives and Assistants alike build individual confidence based off their own innate strengths and natural abilities. After all, momentum comes from enhancing your talents, not wasting time worrying about your limitations.

Monique also offers her organizational expertise to new businesses and startups. The evolving operational needs – both foreseen and unforeseen – necessary for entrepreneurs to keep up with their flourishing business requires solid foundational systems, processes, and procedures. As a solutions executer, Monique constructs the stable infrastructure that your business uses as a framework for success.

Monique offers a combination of inherited common sense and a strong rational mind which makes her a particularly effective decision-maker and problem-solver. She is an experienced world-traveler, a confident public speaker, and an efficiency expert.

The angel is in the details, and Monique is that angel.
