Personalized private coaching

One-on-one coaching is an opportunity to work on your specific goals with personalized support from your coach, Me—Monique Melton. What makes my coaching distinct is the focus is on Black liberation, reclaiming our humanity. This means this type of coach is suitable for anyone seeking to experience liberation in their lives. I infuse multiple techniques and practices into this restorative process.  

I have coached many one-on-one clients over the years to support them in accomplishing both business and personal goals. I have also created and coached many group coaching and learning experiences centered around Black liberation and anti-racism. Many of these learning experiences are now self-paced, peer-led and community-facilitated. This allows me more time to offer one-on-one services as this is something I thoroughly enjoy. However, I only work with a limited number of clients at a time.

  • Liberating Life Coaching

    The focus is on committing to Black liberation through reclaiming your humanity. Through this process we examine areas of your life that you want to reclaim and become more liberated in. This process is a transformational and expansive approach to uncovering ways that systems of oppression are impacting your life and community while working to explore healing and restorative practices and strategies to divest and dismantle these systems.

FAQs

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Simply put, my coaching is an opportunity to work on specific goals and establish new practices that are rooted in Black liberation. Therapy is provided by a licensed professional who can treat mental illnesses and provide a therapeutic approach using techniques that they are trained and licensed to do. A therapist can also help you reach goals but often their approach will be different, such as by focusing on the mental and emotional as well as the past. Whereas a coach will focus on the present and actions you can take—mindset and beliefs are also explored but not in the same way. Coaches are focused on helping clients reach goals and taking action in their lives to reach those goals. A therapist will focus on helping clients understand why things are the way they are by diving into the past. They work to help clients with their mental health as well as managing mental health diagnosis.

It’s important to remember that working with me as your coach and educator is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. In fact, I highly encourage therapy. And most of my clients are also in therapy and continue therapy while working together. Therapist are licensed and trained professionals with the ability to treat and diagnose various conditions as well as offer support in various ways whereas with coaching we work with you to identify and accomplish specific goals and to take specific actions towards growth in specific areas of your life. Coaching is not therapy and is not a replacement for therapy.

At no point will I offer therapy or attempt to work on matters that are intended to be addressed in therapy.

transformative Reviews

Eliza Barnett

“This experience has been so eye-opening to all the layers of racism and implicit bias that have lain unnoticed and undisturbed in me my entire life. I’ve been challenged to push beyond my own discomfort to get at the root of my beliefs and feelings, and then to do the work to actively change them. Because, as I’m learning, it’s not enough to just be “not-racist”, I need to be anti-racist, and that takes intention and action.”

Julie Hamilton

“Any organization would be fortunate to have Monique as a consultant to create a healthier, more well-rounded, more aware world.  We’ve all seen major organizations made huge, costly marketing mistakes that could have been avoided if Monique had been able to educate their teams. She is the right person for the job!”

AJ Porrini

“I was really impressed with Monique's breadth of knowledge on anti-racism. Monique provided real, actionable things that can be done on the daily to support anti-racism”

“The visualizations were wonderful and the soundscape really allowed for space to ease those constant thoughts.”

Susan Stripling 

“Monique is INCREDIBLE. Her preparation was really professional, and her delivery of the subject matter was empathetic, kind, passionate, firm, and heartfelt. It would be an honor to work with her again, and I cannot recommend her more strongly.
