About Monica
Meet Monica
Monica Brooks is a high-energy motivational speaker who travels across the U.S. and Canada. Every trip gives her a chance to meet new people, hear their stories, and see firsthand how connection and perspective can change everything.
With over a decade of leadership experience, Monica equips others with practical, impactful strategies to unlock their potential—one small, intentional step at a time.
Before becoming a full-time speaker, Monica spent more than a decade in leadership, learning that success isn’t about doing more—it’s about being intentional with your time and energy. That belief deepened after a stage three cancer diagnosis that shifted her entire outlook. Instead of letting fear take over, she chose growth.
Monica’s talks resonate on both personal and professional levels, blending authenticity, humor, and actionable insights. Whether guiding a team through change or helping individuals reconnect to their spark, her down-to-earth style creates space for reflection, courage, and impact.
Home is Columbus, Ohio, where Monica stays grounded through service. She’s board president of a local swim team and serves as board secretary for Thriving Beyond Breast Cancer. When she’s not speaking or serving her community, she’s usually planning her next adventure.

Whether it's as a speaker, emcee, or moderator Monica will excite and engage any audience."

She delivers on key factors that influence workplace cohesion. I received many comments on how much staff enjoyed Monica and what they individually took away from the presentation. I would recommend Monica if you are looking for personal and professional growth within your organization."
“Throughout the day, I heard feedback from employees at every level — from entry-level associates to senior leaders — all saying how fantastic Monica was. Her message was relatable, inspiring, and applicable to both personal and professional growth."
