I bring 25 years' professional experience working with businesses ranging from Fortune Global 500 companies, to start-ups, to mom-and-pop shops.
“My clients benefit from the lessons I’ve learned while transitioning from corporate career professional to a coach and entrepreneur. They can witness me as someone who walks their talk. I live in alignment with my passions, manifest my heart’s desires, practice emotional self-management tools, and consciously create my life.”
Background
I’ve worked as a corporate executive, built multiple successful startups, received accolades for entrepreneurship, launched an impactful non-profit, grew and sold a ‘green’ version of Groupon, honed a unique style of tessellation photography, forged a signature approach to intuitive art for personal development, and lived in seven different time zone. But it hasn’t been all sweetness and light.
My journey was necessary in order to arrive where I am.
I survived a health crisis as a child, endured tragic loss early on, and navigated an ambush-style business betrayal. Today I recognize how the setbacks I faced ultimately served me. Excelling in spite of the challenges led me to become a grounded, resilient and compassionate human being.
Today I love and trust myself and appreciate my life’s journey. I have manifested work that inspires me. I adore my loved ones and celebrate my long-lasting friendships. I am mission-driven, passionate, and continually expanding my perspectives.
In order to choose your most rewarding path, you must know and trust yourself.
I relish every moment I spend mentoring and encouraging others to create their own rewarding, expansive lives. It is an honor to help people discover the ease and freedom that comes from being true to oneself.
Experience
I spent eight years working for Accenture out of the US and London creating and delivering internal Executive Leadership training programs, consulting with telecommunications and technology clients, designing and developing performance management systems, managing strategic global internal communications, and moving employees swiftly through comprehensive change programs.
I also served as Executive Account Director with Big Fuel, a Publicis Groupe company, leading Samsung’s Global social media footprint, JP Morgan Chase social media strategies, and Anheuser-Busch social media campaigns.
Prior to that, I launched The Green Half, a thriving online business with 10,000 subscribers who frequented the site to purchase gift cards to sustainable businesses, while supporting local non-profits. Before being sold to Cumulus Media, The Green Half was originally linked to GreenPlate, Inc., a non-profit organization I co-launched which was aimed at the reduction of disposable plastics consumption.
In the decade previous, I served as Regional Director for Ladies Who Launch, mentoring female entrepreneurs with their startup launches. Personally, I concepted and created three one-of-a-kind art businesses, CraZy MoOn ArT RoOM, T-Shirt Construction Co., and Paint Awake – each applauded in the press for value and ingenuity. T-Shirt Construction Co. was rated 2006 Critic’s Pick for best in New Art Trends by the Creative Loafing and voted top 100 “IT” List by Sunday Paper.
From international satellite training and communications projects to unique retail shops, I have enjoyed the challenges and rewards of launching success. My breadth of experience allows me to speak from personal experience when addressing my clients' visions, goals, and concerns.

“Another amazing find that I want to keep all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair! I was looking for an experience to help me set my real self free. Montine’s coaching has truly been a gift. Through the process, I’ve been able to better understand my “edges” and face them with direct action. With Montine as the watchful guide, the experience has been nothing less than transformative.
