☞ "I am a better writer, a better coach, and a better human being after having worked with Mona." — Kelly H., Writer & Coach

You don’t need another productivity plan. You need a pause.

You've done everything right. You got the degrees. You went after the promotions. You've got the hustle. But lately it's been feeling heavier and heavier. You're in between where you are and where you want to be, and you're frustrated.

This is where I come in. While other coaches focus on mindset, performance, and manifestation, I work differently. I partner with you to move through an introspective process that starts with moving inward while moving outward.

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 flexible coaching methodology.
