Elevate Your Executive-Assistant Partnership

Unlock the true potential of the Executive - Assistant dynamic with my expert guidance.

With decades of experience within this partnership, including extensive time as the “Chief of Simon Sinek,” I’ve mastered the art of this powerful relationship.

Imagine having a seamless partnership that amplifies productivity, fosters innovation, and transforms the way you work. Sounds too good to be true, right? It may be!

Executives often struggle with how to utilize their assistants effectively, leaving a vast reservoir of potential untapped.

Similarly, Assistants aren’t taught how to excel in their roles, missing out on opportunities to shine and make a significant impact.

That’s where I come in.

I bridge the gap with personalized coaching, practical strategies, and actionable insights tailored to both sides of the partnership.

My approach turns confusion into clarity and frustration into functionality, ensuring that both Executives and Assistants can thrive together.

Let’s transform your working relationship into a powerhouse of efficiency, trust, and mutual success.

Maximize your efficiency and impact with a top-notch assistant. As a specialized recruiter for the Administrative Profession, I can help find your perfect assistant AND coach you on how to fully leverage their potential, creating a seamless and powerful partnership that drives success.

HOW TO BUILD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AN EXECUTIVE AND AN ASSISTANT.

Simon Sinek's Former Executive Assistant Monique Helstron

Who is Monique Helstrom?

As the “How” to Simon Sinek’s “Why” for almost a decade, I worked as the Executive Assistant, Producer, and “Chief of Simon,” New York Times best-selling author and TED celebrity.

I produced everything he did to inspire and scale his movement, including launching three of his best-selling books, developing his world-famous speaking career, and coordinating his media appearances.

I had the opportunity to meet thousands (and thousands) of people, all of whom were unique and special. Yet, the issues they faced were quite similar.

What do I bring to the table and how can I use those skills to amplify a partnership, team, or organization?

My experience gave rise to my practical and honest approach to individual excellence, team collaboration, and how communication is at the center of it all.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Monique said everything that was on our hearts and minds. She was engaging, honest, and relatable, and left us speechless by how spot on she was. Her talk inspired us to take action, to have tough conversations, and to be the change for ourselves. Monique didn’t just inspire us. Monique empowered us..”

Siobhan Edwards, Manager of Speakers & Events

“THANK YOU for your incredibly impactful coaching work with my Exec and me today. I have taken so much away from our time together, and can honestly say it's the best thing I've done to lift myself up as a working professional. I truly appreciate you and will sing your praises low and high to every EA that I encounter forever. You are 1,000% in your zone of genius doing this work. You're amazing!”

Molly McKnight, Executive Assistant, Handshake

“Monique has been a tremendous resource for me. After carefully studying my work habits and needs, she found a fantastic Executive Assistant who has, in very short order, made a huge impact on our organization.  She also spent several coaching sessions with me and my new EA to help us learn how best to work together.  It’s been a great experience, and I highly recommend Monique to anyone looking to fill this role.”
