Success Stories
From CEOs to creatives, board members to business partners—here’s what leaders say after working with Monica. These stories reflect the depth, clarity, and transformation possible when you align how you work with who you truly are.
“Putting Kolbe into practice with our team has been a game-changer. I now understand how I operate best—and how my team does, too. That clarity has made our collaboration more efficient and energizing.
I’m no longer drained by tasks that don’t match my strengths, and my team members are stepping up in powerful ways. It’s not just about personality—it’s about results.
Since the Team Success Seminar, things we’ve talked about for months are finally getting done. The whole team is more aligned, irritants are down, and we’re moving forward with real momentum.”

“It helped me understand why I do what I do—and gave me permission to let others help where I’m not naturally strong.”
Rachel Bohnsack
Founder, Northern Starz Center for the Performing Arts
“Working with Monica has been a major unlock—realigning my energy and helping me build stronger boundaries in both business and life.
As an ambitious overachiever, I used to get caught in patterns of scarcity and burnout. Through our work, I’ve reclaimed the value of my time, my work, and my leadership.
I’ve shifted my business to attract clients and team members who respect my expertise and share my values. Monica gets to the heart of what matters and helps you grow from the inside out. I recommend her to any leader ready to align their life and business with clarity and purpose.”
Madeline Reeves
CEO & Founder, Fearless Foundry
“I’ve worked with Monica for many years, so when she introduced me to the Kolbe Index™, I couldn’t wait to take it. Learning how I instinctively take action—and how to work with that instead of against it—was a game changer.
After our insight session, something clicked. Within three weeks, I had more energy than I’ve had in years. I felt different. I was staying in my zone and getting more done without the usual burnout.
I honestly didn’t think a shift like this could happen so quickly, but it did.”
Katie Humphrey
Screenwriter & Author
“It was so interesting to see why people handle things differently—and that it’s not wrong, just different. That shift helped me appreciate our team more and start seeing where everyone’s strengths actually are.”
Megan Olsen
Board Member, Northern Starz Center for the Performing Arts
“I appreciated the detailed examples that reflected our nonprofit. The in-person interaction made a big difference.”
Jackie Mjolhus
Board Member, Northern Starz Center for the Performing Arts
“I used the Kolbe Index during a recent hiring process, and Monica’s insight helped me understand both my own strengths and what kind of support I truly needed.
With her guidance, I was able to hire the right person—and go in knowing where our strengths are very different. Because we’re aware of those differences, we can balance them consciously and avoid unnecessary conflict.
Monica’s sensitivity and deep understanding of how people work—on a personal level, a team level, and even within job design—was exactly what I needed to start this new chapter with confidence.”
Bea Palya
Singer-Songwriter and Voice Coach, Hungary
Today, I lead a thriving business with a team that supports me—and I actually have time off. I’m no longer overworking or second-guessing every decision.
Monica helped me create a new vision of what success could look like—and then step into it fully. This work changed everything.”
BT
Founder & CEO
“I learned that something I thought was a weakness is actually a strength. That one insight changed how I show up at work—and gave me more confidence to lead the way that feels natural to me.”

I’m not just running a business—I’m running it as a true CEO. Even my personal life has shifted. I’m focused on my health, creating a more peaceful home, and surrounding myself with aligned support.
It’s been one of the most powerful investments I’ve made in myself.”
