Career & Life Coaching

You don't have to have it all figured out.

You just need a place to begin.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, navigating a major life transition, struggling with confidence, strengthening relationships or simply wondering what's next, coaching gives you the space to slow down and focus on you. Together, we'll better understand where you are today, uncover what's getting in your way, and begin creating meaningful change, one small step at a time.

Book Discovery Call

Choose the support that's right for you.

Complimentary discovery call

Every coaching relationship begins with a conversation. Before we meet, you'll complete a brief client questionnaire so I can learn a little about you and what you'd like to work on. During our discovery call, we'll get to know each other, talk through your goals and challenges, and determine whether coaching is the right fit.  We will also discuss 2 specific tools I leverage to help build self awareness.

Complimentary Positive Intelligence® (PQ) assessment

After our discovery call and determination of best tools for building self-awareness that is right for you- you may receive a complimentary Positive Intelligence® (PQ) assessment. This quick, 5-minute assessment helps identify the mental habits that may be holding you back, giving us a valuable starting point as we work together.

Energy Leadership assessment & coaching session

For those who want to go deeper, I offer a personalized Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment and coaching session. This research-backed assessment by iPEC provides insight into how you naturally respond to everyday life and stressful situations, helping us identify opportunities for meaningful growth. The investment is $150, and if you choose to continue coaching, that investment will be applied toward your coaching package.

Ongoing coaching

Whether you're navigating a career transition, building confidence, strengthening relationships, or simply looking for a trusted partner to help you move forward, we'll create a coaching experience that meets you where you are. Some clients work with me for just a few sessions, while others choose ongoing support over time.

Speaking & workshops

I also partner with organizations, community groups, and professional teams through speaking engagements and workshops focused on resilience, stress, conflict management, leadership, and personal growth.

For organizations looking for executive coaching, leadership development, or group facilitation, I also partner with Gelinas Group.

Accessible coaching

I believe coaching should be accessible, supportive, and centered around your goals. That's why I offer flexible coaching options and monthly payment plans to help create an approach that works for you.

Here’s what you get:

  • Greater confidence in yourself and your decisions

  • More resilience through life's challenges and transitions

  • A deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns

  • Practical tools you can use long after coaching ends

  • Stronger relationships at work and at home

  • A personalized approach built around your goals

  • Honest, judgment-free support every step of the way

  • Coaching tailored to your unique goals and journey

  • Meaningful growth, one small step at a time

  • Lasting change from the inside out

Imagine moving through life with more confidence and clarity.

When you better understand yourself, everything begins to feel a little lighter. You respond instead of react. You trust yourself more. You move forward with more ease, greater purpose and intention.

Monica Maheshwari, Career & Life Coach, smiling outdoors on a city street.

Hi, I’m Monica

Personal growth is powerful - whatever the goal.

For much of my life, I focused on doing what was expected of me. As a third culture kid, I built a successful career, raised a family, and spent years fitting in and supporting everyone around me, but somewhere along the way, I lost sight of my true self. When I finally gave myself permission to slow down and ask what I wanted, everything began to change. Through that journey, I built the confidence, resilience, and self-awareness I had been searching for all along. I am my own best friend now.

Today, I partner with others who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their mental fitness, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. I won't tell you what to do. I'll meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you discover the answers that are already within you. It is your journey after all.
