Mona Khalil, Egyptian-Guyanese-American executive and leadership coach

About Mona Khalil

As a first-generation Egyptian-Guyanese-American, I've rebuilt my life multiple times. My 20-year career has taken me from the Peace Corps to Big Tech (Tesla, LinkedIn) and Fortune 500s. I know what it's like to succeed on paper while losing yourself in the process. Now, I help high achievers navigate and rebuild through reflective writing and values-based coaching.

"Writing is really a way of thinking—not just feeling but thinking about things that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious, problematic or just sweet." — Toni Morrison

I'm ACC-certified through ICF and trained in the Hudson Institute's transformational coaching methodology.
