About Monica Kenton
How I Help Leaders and Teams Thrive
I’m a leadership and team consultant specializing in strengths-based strategy, decision clarity, and collaborative performance.
I’m Kolbe Certified™, which means I use a powerful strengths-based system to reveal how people instinctively take action and my work goes far beyond reports. I help leaders and teams make smarter decisions, collaborate more effectively, and create real momentum that lasts.
With over 20 years of experience across leadership, education and organizational growth, I bring clear perspective and strategic depth to every conversation. My work isn’t surface-level strategy—it’s about uncovering what actually drives people and teams, and translating that into sustainable, powerful action.
“Monica is my go-to when I need a fresh, grounded perspective. She distills the noise and helps me uncover what actually matters—often in just one conversation.”
Heidi Nicholl
CEO, Australia
Who I Help – And How
I don’t hand you a formula. I help you see what’s actually going on and lead from a place that’s clear, confident and aligned.
I’ve guided co-founders back into collaboration when they were ready to walk away.
I’ve supported leadership teams through gridlock into real teamwork.
I’ve helped high performers on the edge of burnout reclaim clarity, energy, and direction.
Because I see the patterns others miss, and I help people work the way they’re actually wired.
This is the work that makes success sustainable, and leadership worth living.
Fun facts…
- I speak fluent Spanish and love foreign travel.
- I recharge in funky cafes, fueled by good coffee and bold ideas.
- I practice yin yoga (the kind that lets you actually rest) and have a budding obsession with pickleball.
- I live in Minnesota with my husband and our quirky little dog.
“Monica is a powerful coach who encourages and inspires you to become the best version of yourself possible and to know that nothing is ever impossible.

She doesn’t just hold the vision for your best life – she shows you the exact path to walk to get there.”
