Meet Monique
Helping others see what’s possible.
Monique Lecomte brings more than stories—she brings momentum. With 20+ years leading teams and coaching leaders, she knows how to turn insight into action and energy into lasting change.
Audiences don’t just listen, they lean in. Monique’s story is one you have to see to believe. She traded bare feet in the backwoods of Alabama for high heels on the cobblestone streets of Europe and beyond. Now a published author, speaker, facilitator, and coach, Monique is living proof that where you start does not determine where you finish.
Whether you’re energizing thousands of NextGen leaders or motivating a small team to take big steps, Monique has made it her life mission to inspire resiliency and leadership in others from the inside out.
“The obstacles we face, the friction and hardships we endure, and the choices we make all define how we rise or fall. In any given moment, we have the power to make the choice: lead or follow.”
- Monique Lecomte

Along the way, she gathered hard-earned wisdom, turned ‘setbacks’ into fuel, and transformed struggle into strength. Monique’s story inspires others to trust their path and embrace the belief that life happens for us, not to us.

Keynotes
-
Leadership
The Expert Generalist: An Unpaved Road to Leadership
Instead of learning entrepreneurship on an Ivy League campus, Monique’s backdrop was hawking peaches in a K-Mart parking lot and saving puppies on an abandoned backroad in rural Alabama. Monique’s rare perspective on leadership leaves audiences inspired to embrace uncertainty and “stand tall and make a new plan” in their own lives.
-
Connection
The Power of the Digital Disconnect
In an always-on world, people feel more disconnected than ever. Monique explores how urbanization and technology have reshaped the way we engage and left us more isolated in the process. She challenges individuals to step into their own brand of leadership-by-example, living more present and digitally-disconnected lives.
-
Communication
Master the Message
In today’s competitive environment, showing up with confidence and clarity is essential. Whether meeting new clients or giving a project update, how you present yourself—and what you say—matters. This talk helps individuals and teams sharpen their communication, storytelling, and presentation skills to build stronger connections and connect with others.
