Community Highlights: Meet Monica Marie Jones of Monica Marie Jones Coaching

Today we’d like to introduce you to Monica Marie Jones. 

Hi Monica, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself
After realizing that I wanted to do more to impact outcomes for youth and families with my background in education and social work, I began doing work as a national field consultant in the Youth Development field. This work gave me the opportunity to travel around the country facilitating trainings, conducting assessments, and coaching adults who work with children and youth to support them in improving the quality of their programming. Over the course of nearly two decades of doing this work, I began to realize that the adults needed just as much support and care for their own development. This inspired me to transition into executive coaching for women and leaders who wanted to focus on their personal and professional growth. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I transitioned from teaching and working with youth directly early in my career because I had a hard time separating my emotions from the work. I would go home crying at night worrying about the challenges that my students were facing. Shifting to the indirect work of creating and facilitating professional development for the adults who continue to support youth helped, but it didn’t change the fact that I was still a highly sensitive and empathic person. During the pandemic, the demand for my work of supporting adults increased. While I was honored to meet the need of the moment, holding emotional space for the trauma that so many were experiencing took a heavy toll on my own mental and emotional health. I had to pause and remember that I was experiencing the same collective trauma as the rest of the world and that I needed find ways to release or clear all of the emotional space that I was holding for others during that time. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Monica Marie Jones Coaching?
As an executive coach and facilitator, I guide my clients through big breakthroughs in their careers, businesses, relationships, health, and money. I’ve used my expertise in human development, education, social work, behavior, and mental health to develop a distinct process that is proven and powerful. Whether I’m working one-on-one with someone or coaching a group, I support my clients as they unleash complete clarity and unlimited personal power. 

I know how to shift out of stuck because I teach not only from my professional education and experiences but my personal journey of self-discovery and success. After finding myself struggling to move to the next level, personally and professionally, I realized that there were some patterns from my past that life continuously brought me back to, and that I could no longer ignore. On that journey, I discovered the necessity of uncovering emotional wounds, interrupting old patterns and cycles of negative thoughts to facilitate healing, growth, and success. As I continued to delve deeper into my own shifts and what it took to make them happen, I realized the need for a different approach to transformation. So, I created it—a signature process that leverages traditional therapy and life coaching, but infuses the principles of facilitation and experiential learning to reach individuals where they are with the tools they need to create lasting change. It is that signature method that allows me to support my clients in achieving what were once impossible goals, from releasing weight to surpassing sales targets in their businesses to discovering unshakable confidence. 

My work spans corporate, government, and nonprofit sectors. I consult with businesses and organizations to create transformational programs that reconnect leaders and teams to their careers with passion and purpose. 

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
If you’ve seen me facilitate a workshop or speak at a conference it may not be that surprising, but I have a lot of history and experience in the performing arts. As I watch many of the popular tv shows and movies that are out now I see several of my classmates, friends, and other people who I’ve worked with as a performing artist. From the age of 8 to 28 I studied and performed all forms of dance, acted in the theatre and film, and even toured nationally and internationally as a backup dancer for recording artists.
