Embracing Transitions and Building Resilience with Monique Helstrom

Mike "C-Roc" is joined by Monique Helstrom, former Chief of Simon Sinek and now a prominent speaker, coach, and business consultant. Monique shares her transformative journey from her high-profile role with Simon Sinek to becoming an entrepreneur just before the global pandemic hit. Monique recounts the invaluable lessons she learned while working with Simon, particularly about embracing failure and learning from mistakes. She emphasizes Simon's supportive attitude towards trying new things and how their team tackled the challenge of scaling Simon's message without him being physically present everywhere. The conversation then shifts to Monique's personal experience with identity crisis post-transition, where she discusses the difficulties she faced, including depression and the struggle to redefine her purpose. She and C-Roc highlight the importance of not tying one's identity to their job role to avoid emotional setbacks when circumstances change. Monique introduces her current mission: helping executives find their perfect executive assistants. She explains the components of a successful executive-assistant partnership, based on her extensive experience and observations. This mission aims to prevent leaders from burning out by ensuring they have the right support to focus on their strengths. Listeners will gain deep insights into managing transitions, building resilience, and the power of supportive professional relationships. Monique's authenticity and vulnerability offer valuable lessons for anyone facing change in their personal or professional life.
