In her no-holds-barred keynote Challenge to Win, Monica pulls back the curtain on how the challenger mindset doesn’t shake up organizations—it redefines them. She’ll dive deep into real-world case studies of brands and businesses that don’t just face a challenge, they seize them as fuel for breakthrough innovation.

Forget playing it safe; this is about turning every obstacle into a launchpad for radical change and leaving conventional thinking in the dust. Get ready to rethink the rules, embrace disruption, and ignite a culture where your team doesn't just adapt to change—they are the change.

Challenger Innovation is the sweat the small stuff kind of innovation. You know, the kind that everyone in every corner of your org can own. It’s not the big broad – "better than sliced bread" - kind. It’s the tweak this, do that, tackle the obstacle before you and come out the other side more efficient, less costly, better than the competition kind. It's the kind of innovation that your organization needs.

Through real-world examples and actionable insights, this session will inspire audiences to rethink limits, embrace change, and foster a culture where questioning the norm leads to powerful breakthroughs. Whether you're facing internal roadblocks or external competition, you'll walk away with strategies to drive innovation, fuel resilience, and lead with a challenger spirit.

In addition to her innovation and culture thought leadership, Monica is also a highly-sought after women’s empowerment speaker. The only female in the C-suite of a $20-bil-dollar global org, Monica knows what it takes to not only survive, but thrive in a male-dominated industry.

In this electrifying talk, she challenges women to stop waiting for permission to take a seat at the table and instead build their own. She’ll reveal the tactics to help women assert themselves, negotiate like a boss, and unapologetically claim their value. No more asking for a chance—this is about seizing your power, smashing the glass ceiling, and turning your biggest dreams into a reality.
