"Dynamic Coaching came into my life in the person of Monica Jonsson as an Executive Coach. In the past year, we managed together to set a roadmap and implement the action that were needed to define my function and responsibilities, redefine the job content in relation to that responsibility, set priorities, define and implement the action plan.

The result is amazing. Going back to the roots and back to the essentials of the function, brought me back in control of the situation, what allowed me to focus only on the things that have to be done."

Philip Maertens
Director Automation & Drives, Belgium & Luxembourg
Siemens N.V./S.A.

"Coaching with Monica is a great experience. In a difficult time, she helped me put my thoughts in good order, understand what I really wanted, helped me formulate how I wanted to achieve my professional goals and helped me identify the needed actions to achieve those. I would recommend executive coaching to any organisation."

Philippe Ringard
VP, Head of Funds Control
JPMorgan Asset Management

 "I was introduced to CoachDynamix™ at the start of this year and through my sessions I have really benefited both professionally and privately. It's remarkable to see how easily certain problems can be solved and how the solutions and results can surface from within yourself. Monica supports me to see things from another perspective and discover outcomes which I did not find in the past. As a result of my positive experience, I want to give my team members the opportunity to grow and develop their potential further in the results-oriented and highly personalised way that coaching offers: setting your team up to win."

Fredrik Holm
Deputy Head of Private Banking
Danske Bank International

"When I first met Monica I was very skeptical and wondered if coaching could really add value to my managerial skills. From meeting to meeting Monica succeeded due to her interpersonal strengths, to transform my skepticism into more and more enthusiasm.
Monica's coaching has been very helpful to me. I have known Monica to be an excellent listener who inspires trust. Being very professional, well organized and highly committed it is easy for her to achieve commonly agreed objectives in a way that you will certainly like.
Thank you Monica! "

Jens Geyer

"Working with and being coached by Monica has not only been an immense pleasure throughout the process but proved to be life-changing for me both professionally and in private life! The coaching has given me very useful insight in myself, my strengths and weaknesses and what way to go forward in life.
The tools provided by Monica to get the most out of myself and to destroy any barriers that keep me from achieving this, continue to help me on a daily basis….and this is only the beginning! "

Albertine Elberse

"The timing for my coaching couldn't have been better as I really needed someone to help me to get my motivation back. Monica immediately made me feel like we were a team, she was on my side wanting me to succeed. I felt empowered and energised, working on defined goals, and organising my approach to challenges. Monica has a lot of great analytical, organisational tools that helped me along the way. Talking with Monica helped me focus. Many times I would talk about a situation or challenge and she would reflect back to me and pinpoint the underlying essence of what I was saying or wrestling with questions to draw out the wisdom I needed to move forward."

Sofia Wise
Operations Manager
Commercial Union International Life S.A.

"I benefited immensely from the well structured and individualized coaching with CoachDynamix™. It enabled me to clarify my professional objectives and to focus on how best to accomplish them. Thank you for putting me on the right path and for offering me such invaluable tools for the future."

"Being new in my role and thereby being faced with a new set of expectations and challenges, Monica has been indispensible in helping me to sort out my priorities and becoming successful in leading and coaching my team."

"I observe myself and so I come to know others." (Lao Tse)

"With Monica's guidance, I have found the one on one coaching engagement to be an invaluable experience. The key differentiator for me was that her sessions are not reduced to some theoretical platitude, but that each session is focused on existing issues, challenges and suggested applications in my professional life. It's very beneficial to have an objective view of your professional world, and to stop and consider the impact of your behaviour, as well as that of those around you, on performance and engagement with your colleagues. Every executive should go through this once-it's not often we take the time to stop and evaluate our own performance analytically with a few to self-improvement. The knock on benefit in terms of taking stock of how time is spent beyond work and re-evaluating my work-life balance was a surprise bonus. Highly recommended."

Janice Kallmeyer
Business Transformation Director: Europe

"By working with Monica for the last 1.5 years, I got really proven how powerful coaching can be with the right coach. It has not been one major step at a time that I did with her, but rather a lot of little steps, to both my professional and private life. She has the talent to ask you the right questions at the right point in time, that you start thinking about yourself, your behaviors, your habits and even more your surroundings, from a different perspective. Overtime this certainly leads to minor adjustments, which each one in his own is not even visible, but the sum makes a change which is sheer unbelievable.

I can only highly recommend for all open minded Senior Managers to do Executive Coaching with Monica! It will empower you, as you will look at yourself and your surroundings in a better way. "

Department Head of a Global Bank

"After a personal reflection time I realised that I needed to change both personally and at work. I set up goals, but I felt that I did not have the tools and skills to implement the changes. Monica was recommended to me and she gave me the tools and support to realise these changes. It is good from time to time to have a third party to speak to in order to see things with new eyes or to get confirmation from others than the ones you know and are surrounded with."

Christina Coustry
Head of Private Banking
Swedbank S.A. (Nov 2007)

"I have discovered coaching techniques by coincidence a year ago and decided to give it a try. The really nice aspect about the coaching approach is that the results are truly yours. The coach unleashes your potential by questioning you, not by telling you what to do. One finds his own solutions. After one year, I am positively amazed at how much more performing I became. The results are beyond my highest expectations. Many people in the management team have now embarked on the same programme and the first results start to crop up steadily.

This is a really positive experience I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone at any level, with any positive and constructive objective in mind."

Jacques Bouvy
IT Director
Lombard International Assurances S.A. (Jan 2007)

"Monica has helped me to clearly identify where I was and where I wanted to go. Together we worked on how to get there. Monica has helped me understand where my strengths and weaknesses were. This was a good basis to start from and we've gone a long way together since then. I owe my personnel growth to Monica and would always recommend CoachDynamix™ to any colleague and friend"

Carole Miltgen
Managing Director
Prisma S.A.

"Three years ago, due to the circumstances of life, I was standing at the foot of the mountain and was asking myself how to get the motivation to climb the mountain again and to reach the top. I've walked a long way alone standing not far away from the top but meeting Monica gave me the power to reach the last meters. A Winning Attitude, Transforming Limiting Thoughts and Positive Approach are some of the principles she taught me and she has been supporting me going through this and improving my self-confidence. Last but not least, there is still one goal to achieve but that's between Monica and me . . ."

Christine de Ridder
Business Manager
Automation & Drives
Siemens Luxembourg S.A.

"CoachDynamix™ has proved a perfect partner when balancing private and work life. Monica gives me the tools I need to prioritise and become more efficient, focused but at the same time and more importantly - harmonic. Spending time with Monica is very energizing and I highly recommend it to anyone. As Monica once said "don't fight reality, accept it and start living"

Anna Bonde

"Coaching is the best investment that you can make in yourself and makes me want to share what I have learnt about it from Monica with my wife and children. I would not have believed that I would be saying this at the start, but coaching really should be taught in schools as a standard part of the curriculum. It really helps to bring out the best in yourself and helps you to bring out the best in others. With so much positive energy present at coaching meetings with Monica, you can only succeed. Like a sports coach, Monica encourages performance and achievement in a paced and measured way... and like all good coaches is only fully appreciated in retrospect"

Robin Hayes FCCA, AMCT, DipIFRA, FMAAT

"I am part of the Lombard management team and started coaching with Monica 1 year ago. It is amazing to experience how easy it becomes to achieve goals and to get results. Monica's coaching helps me through my career and my private life. It feeds self-awareness and awareness of others. I recommend Monica's coaching to all my colleagues and friends due to the benefits you get out of it."

Lombard International Assurance S.A. (Oct 2007)

"When I first started sessions with Monica I must admit I wasn't quite sure what to expect from coaching, however after just a few meetings I started to find myself really looking forward to each session and constantly thinking about what we had discussed. As a result of working with Monica my confidence is now much higher, my communication is better, and I am far more organised in all areas of life. I also started to realise that people were really noticing the positive changes in me. My coaching experience was extremely helpful in looking at my goals, setting priorities and taking action. Monica is a great insightful listener, I often rave to friends about what a positive effect coaching can have."

Joanna Asbury
Client Relationship Manager
Prisma S.A.

"Coaching by Monica has helped to guide me towards achieving many personal and professional goals. In fact I am truly amazed at how coaching can prompt you to look at avenues and choices that previously you considered unthinkable. Like the best rugby coaches I have had Monica and she gives you the confidence and some of the tools to realise your potential. Thank you Monica."

John Paul Keane
Assistant Manager, Fund Accounting
Lombard International Assurance S.A.(Sep 2007)

"Thanks to the coaching with Monica, I have benefited both personally and professionally. I have gone from a situation of close to burn-out and lack of direction to now having more joy, feeling more open and having focus once again. My business has successfully developed further and my key people have also experienced the benefits of coaching. Today we have a good team spirit, open communication, common goals and a vision. I can highly recommend Monica's coaching."
