Know, Own, and Be Your True Self in Life & Business

More than Life & Business

Most holistic business coaches focus on the combination of your life and your business. I take a step beyond. My approach combines your soul, mindset, and self-leadership with your brand and business.

By uncovering your innate brand archetypes and unleashing their potential, together we tap into the soul of who you are, what you stand for, and your purpose.

We discover your unique stories that only you can tell to attract the right clients and sell what you offer in a feel-good way.

I love the metaphor of the labyrinth. There's no path to choose, but your unique path will unfold naturally, as long as you're present and willing to dive deep into your inner core.

The Cycle That No One Talks About

Besides the linear and exponential growth curve, there is another truth that is hardly talked about by other business coaches. They are talking about growing into 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses.

You and I don’t long for such a big business. We cringe at the very thought, don’t we?

And intuitively, we feel that this growth, purely for the sake of continuous growth, is only half the truth. There is more to life!

The secret is an innate human cycle of 5 stages, see the box on the right. This cycle and its dynamics are very important because it is here that we are most likely to get stuck.

And if we don’t know where we’re stuck and why, our actions to break free are often not the right ones, right?

I am here to enlighten you, bring clarity, and guide you on your entrepreneurial journey up the metaphorical hills and through the valleys. You’ll find my 2 coaching options below.

PS: I’m working on a self-assessment and guide on this topic, so watch this space for an update and link.

5 stages

1. Rigidity

Working upstream and hitting the Growth plateau.

2. Risk Avoidance

Exploring new ways is too risky. You have to keep going.

3. Release

Letting go of the pieces that aren't aligned anymore.

4. Regrouping

Repositioning by claiming your true aligned space.

5. Revival

Revitalising your growth beyond your wildest dreams.

Authentic Alignment Session

Get Clarity and Focus in just 2 hours

Authentic Alignment means you are aligned with your true self, and not the self that others suggest you should be.
In entrepreneurship it means that you follow your unique path and style that suits your true self and soul’s desire.

There are so many pieces to the business puzzle that it’s easy to get overwhelmed, right? Where to start? What comes first? You can no longer see the forest for the trees.

Whether you want to focus on seeing the big picture again, or the nitty-gritty details of marketing, sales, or automation, I can help.

Enchanting Brand Journey

The Enchanting Brand Journey is a personalised 6-month journey that combines coaching, training, advice and done-with-you or done-for-you automation of your funnels and emails.

This programme is for you if you feel that what your business radiates does not match your real self. It’s also a great option if you want to go in a different direction with new clients and new products, courses, or services.

If you want to come home to your true, authentic self and get extraordinary results, then let’s chat.

The Enchanting Brand Journey isn’t just a business programme, it’s a magical journey that leads to a way of living the brand archetypes through my work but also through who I am. I’m showing my unique brand, my work as visual storyteller, and who I am from my inner sparkles. It’s pure magic and beyond words…

Marja Sas, owner and visual storysteller of Sparkles from the Soul

Monika is a skilled, wise, and considerate business coach. I came to her seeking to streamline my social enterprise where I was busy all the time with lots of work but not bringing in income. I needed clarity on where to focus my energies, on who exactly were my target market and ideal client, how to position myself to connect with this market, and get an overall make-over of my brand. Monika was able to help me with all of this and over-delivered with templates, resources, and personalised reports. She was flexible with when and where we could meet and even helped with advice between meetings. She really “had my back” which is something solo entrepreneurs really need as its difficult pioneering new ideas/services on one’s own. A few months after the coaching, I got my first ideal client and look forward to many more.

Monika has highly developed eyes for business. It was great that her eyes helped me to set priorities. She also helped me see that owning a company is not just for “Mr. Directors”.

Monika doesn't just guide, she journeys with you, meeting you exactly where you are. When I was stuck or uncertain, Monika was there with a helping hand, a guiding question, an "oh yeah" moment that propelled me forward. Even when tears flow or emotions stir, Monika's unwavering presence helps you draw out the best within. What sets Monika apart is her magical ability to embrace the full spectrum of your experience. She doesn't shy away from emotions; she embraces them. She mirrors your actions, your words, and your feelings, encouraging you to explore deeper layers of authenticity. Old pains and habits become not roadblocks, but stepping stones on your journey. I feel I have come home to my true, authentic self.

I know now how to access more powerful words to add to my marketing materials and my website. They will truly represent me in a way that lets people feel who I am. It was so refreshing to be in a group that was not head-centred. Several of us re-connected with others present and made for great energy and lots of laughs. I would highly recommend any of Monika's workshops if you want the world to see who you really are, in all of your marketing.
