Monica
Monica Kleijn Evason
Leadership can be lonely. Monica knows how that feels after she was catapulted into a leadership role at a young age at an International Brand Design Agency. She likes to think of herself as a partner in first time leadership development, bringing a global perspective to the table with Italian roots, Dutch heritage and 12 years of life in Spain. Her passion lies in action centred learning and effective communication.She thrives on inspiring change through human connection and the art of natural storytelling. Life threw her some curve balls that she managed to turn into her superpower as a change ninja, leaning heavily on the latest break throughs in applied neuro science. She simplifies the complicated; keeps things very real and tries to remember multiple times a day to find the funny. Monica works with first time leaders in : Pharma, Hospitals, Banking, Education, Media, Retail, FMCG, Energy, & Not-for-Profit.
