Hi, I'M MONIQUE STEVENS

My personal and professional journey has led me to a place where I want to share the lessons I have learned about organization and individual development with clients in a way that is true to my values and beliefs. I started my career with one desire, to help people at work. At that time, human resources was the only profession I could imagine where I would get the opportunity to make the workplace better. I quickly realized that while being an HR professional did provide a service to employees, I was not having the impact that I wanted or felt called upon to do.

I stumbled into organization development and found a true love. Through this work, I help organizations become more effective and efficient. They successfully reach their organizational goals and sustain performance. Not only does the organization benefit, but also an environment is created where employees feel empowered, enriched, and happy. 

I found that I could have an even greater impact by adding coaching to my skillset; it allowed me to offer clients a full transformational experience. I love helping people gain clarity on their personal vision and guiding them to create actionable plans to achieve it. The intersection of these two worlds has opened up endless ways I can help improve people’s work and personal lives, which in turn helps me fulfill my purpose.

One thing I have learned over my career is that change, whether it be in an organizational or personal context, is hard… real hard. It is especially difficult when our logical brain thinks of all of the ways it won’t work. My job is to help quiet that voice, enable you to clearly see the options in front of you, and support you while you jump into new possibilities.

That messy navigation through change is where Pivot Pointe Consulting was born. There is a point where we all must decide if we move forward or stay where we are. It is definitely safer to stay, but I can assure you that if you pivot, even just a little bit, you will see a difference. It has been a true honor for me to bear witness to all of the amazing and courageous shifts my clients have made over the years. 

Pivot Pointe Consulting is not just my business, it's my way of life.

I BELIEVE:

  • The universe IS conspiring to help you achieve all that you desire.

  • Change is less scary when you have someone by your side.

  • Inserting the mantra, “This is good because…” during a challenging time will change your life.

  • Everything I have leaned about the world can be summed up in one word… Love. Love what you do, love your unique and amazing life journey, and most importantly, love who you are.
