An Inside-Out Approach to Career Coaching

What is The Rewrite Framework?

The Rewrite Framework is the signature executive career and leadership coaching methodology developed by coach Monique Shaw. It is an inside-out approach designed for professionals and leaders who want to work, lead and live with more meaning, fulfilment, and impact.

When a career feels stagnant, or there is a lack of clarity, confidence or balance, it often indicates a growing gap between who a person really is and how they show up at work. The Rewrite Framework closes this gap by securely connecting a client's internal drivers with their external story, creating sustainable, meaningful careers and lasting transformational change.

How the Inside-Out Approach Works

Coaching sessions with Monique are client-led, but the deep-dive transformational work is strategically structured around the four core steps of The Rewrite Framework:

Step 1: Reviewing Your 'Inside' Story

The inside-out approach begins internally. We conduct a situational analysis to uncover your core values, drivers, and beliefs. During this stage, we deeply examine your relationship with your time, your energy, your personal drivers, needs and boundaries.

Step 2: Reviewing Your 'Outside' Story

Next, we assess your external story. We look at how you are currently showing up in the different areas of your professional and personal life, and directly compare the impact you are currently making versus the impact you actually want to make as a leader and professional (and also personally).

Step 3: Examining Necessary Conditions for Change

Transformation requires the right mindset and environment. We identify your unique, personal requirements for creating and maintaining the changes you want to make, and we work to practically embed these into your daily life so transformation is supported and made possible.

Step 4: Crafting Your 'Rewrite'

The final step is establishing your way forward. We build your actionable roadmap towards an integrated, values-led career. By successfully connecting your internal and external stories, you are empowered to create a career and life filled with meaning, fulfilment, and impact.
