Read Rewrite Founder Monique Shaw’s story

Hello…

I’m Monique, an Executive Career Coach and Brand Story Specialist helping frustrated professionals to rewrite their stories from the inside-out to create careers, businesses and lives that actually work for them.

I’ve rewritten my own story many times to create a life that fits with the way I want to work and live - I created Rewrite to help you do the same! 

I started my career in the arts and public sector before moving into the corporate world where I spent over a decade shaping marketing, brand, sales and communication strategies. I spent 8 of those years with a Big 4 firm coaching pitch teams to perform under pressure, leading a global sector brand & marketing team, running global campaigns, connecting disparate cross-regional, cross-functional teams, and working on high profile rebrand projects.

After becoming a parent, I craved a deeper sense of purpose in my work and a different lifestyle.

When I turned 40 I took the plunge and rewrote my career story, leaving corporate life behind to launch Rewrite. It is a me-shaped business that combines my love of people, writing and personal development with the rigour of professional experience and training. 

As a coach I don’t focus on job titles, industries or company names - my approach to career change and brand story is inside-out.

I help clients to connect with who they are, what they really need and how they want to live. We build out from that foundation, right through to shaping the story they tell the world.

I’m a qualified Transformational Coach and Professional Member of the EMCC (The European Mentoring and Coaching Council) with an accreditation in Group Coaching & Facilitation.

I’m a lifelong learner with a Fine Arts undergrad degree, a post-grad in Creative Writing and professional Chartered Institute of Marketing qualifications in Marketing and Digital Marketing. All of these qualifications - along with my professional and personal experience and commitment to CPD - informs the work I do helping my clients to rewrite their stories.

I also work with a not-for-profit organisation, icanyoucantoo running presentation skills and personal brand workshops for smart and ambitious kids from disadvantaged backgrounds because they - like all of us - deserve to write their own stories too.

Originally from Australia, I live in London with my husband, two boys and rescue frenchie. I work with people from all over the world and would love to help you rewrite your story, whatever it is and whatever you want it to be.

Curious? Let’s have a chat and explore what you need and how I can help.
