What some of our clients say about us

"Tina worked with me to clarify my career goals and aptitudes. Through her training I understood that careers are fluid beasts, which require regular nurturing and evaluation.  Frequently she asked me "how do you feel about this?" an approach that clarified my decision-making and helped support me as I made some major career decisions. Tina's support and guidance was invaluable and I highly recommend her to anyone needing or wanting to make a major career change."

- Liza, Sydney

"My time with Tina has been inspirational and it is with gratitude that I write this testimonial. It has not only been a journey towards a new career path for me, but has also been a journey within, a path of self-discovery I hadn't anticipated. It has been a time for self-reflection and interestingly, has provided a much needed boost to my self-esteem and creativity.

My career focus has now been clarified and I have confidence and patience in finding the right direction at the right time and have revised my resume which is now ready to go. The 'informational interviewing' technique has been very helpful in guiding me through what to do and what not to do in possible career choices.

Tina is sincere and thoughtful and has given my particular situation a heartfelt response for which I am most grateful. Thank you."

- Kate B, Sydney

“Tina, I really valued our time together and appreciated your talents at coaching, listening and providing helpful and constructive solutions.”

- HJ, HR Coordinator, Property Development Industry

“I found the whole experience very enlightening and empowering I can't thank Tina enough for her guidance and support.”

- JM, Small business owner

“Tina has been a fantastic resource to draw upon both in terms of professional and personal development. Her programmes are tailored for individual needs. On a personal basis, this involves the analysis of current/past patterns of behaviours and communication skills. She then provides the tools we can use to bring about more effective change.

I found each session extremely valuable. The sessions were insightful and interactive. They opened my mind in so many different ways.

I highly recommend Tina to any organisation/individual. For any individual considering this or an organisation that truly values and wants to see the best in their staff – the benefits undoubtedly follow.”

- M.R.   

"Working with Tina was a valuable and productive experience that provided me with clearer insight, practical suggestions, and a broad variety of options and possible pathways. I found that Tina's approach encouraged me to come up with my own ideas and take ownership for my development, whilst at the same time, her genuine warmth, ability to listen, and desire to help made it a pleasure to work with Tina. I was particularly impressed by the care and attention Tina took after our session to check in with me and continually offer her support and help. She is approachable, generous with her time and expertise, and I would not hesitate to recommend Tina to anyone seeking professional, dedicated and experienced career coaching."

- Emily   

"Tina Monk has worked with me personally as a coach since late 2001 and has also facilitated at an important workshop for my business CONNECTED MEDIA. Tina's experience and understanding of the issues facing small business have been critical in moving this business forward. She also has a unique way of working with teams which brings out the best in them. She practices patience along with an ability to keep people on track of the important issues facing them and their business.

I would recommend that anyone considering starting a small business, consult with Tina to ensure the best results.”

- Claire Moffat , Principal of Connected Media

"Since being coached by you I have put a number of strategies in place to enhance my relationship with staff. This has proved to be mutually rewarding. For staff members, they have a mechanism for minimising disturbances and providing constructive feedback.

What I found particularly beneficial was to be able to step out of my shoes and analyse the issues from a different perspective. Coaching has allowed me to focus on the cause as opposed to reacting to the effects. Both myself and my staff have greatly benefited from your coaching".

- Mark Costello, Victorian Govt.

"Tina Monk has been my life coach for the past year. I have found her coaching to be of immense benefit, particularly as I am currently learning to coach adolescents and young adults myself. Through regular coaching covering both business and personal development, Tina has taught me how to use my own resources to improve my life and to coach others effectively.

After just one hour with my coach, I found that the difficulties I was facing in starting a small business, faded into insignificance. In each session Tina gave me the encouragement and strategies to overcome the hurdles I was facing, redefine my purpose and move forward.

I find Tina's coaching to be empowering as she draws on my own strengths and digs deep to find the answers that already reside in me. Everyone needs someone to believe in them, draw out their dreams and desires and create an environment where they can flourish. Not only is this what Tina has done for me, I also now have the privilege of creating this environment for others.

I highly recommend Tina Monk, Coach, to anyone who needs someone to cheer them on and equip them with the tools for success. Tina will help you discover the often hidden, internal resources you already have to flourish in every area of your life."

- Vanessa Hoyes, Principal, Vision for Life

"Tina Monk was assigned to me as my mentor through the Australian Women's Business Network Mentor Program. Prior to meeting her I was unsure of what to expect and whether she would be able to assist me in achieving my business endeavours. I must say that within the first 5 minutes all my reservations disappeared. Tina is warm and sincere and made me feel relaxed and comfortable when discussing my fledgling business aspirations with her.

Tina has provided me with invaluable advice and guidance, helping me to realise short and long term goals. She is a fantastic sounding board, listening intently and asking all the right questions enabling us to work towards pinpointing barriers, overcoming hurdles and ultimately solving problems that may be preventing my business from improving or expanding.

Tina is always available for advice and is easily contactable either by phone, fax or e-mail.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tina to other small business owners and cannot express how invaluable her guidance has been to me."

- Rebecca Mitchell, Principal, RAM Marketing

"Tina Monk is warm and engaging, she allows you room to grow and learn about yourself, while ensuring you stay focused on achieving your personal successes.

Tina's friendly and caring approach, helped me to sort through my current challenges and come to sound solutions, to deal with them.

Tina empowers you to make your own decisions and to take control of your own success. My enthusiasm for what I was doing soared.

Thanks Tina."
