When I first met Monnica, I was struck by her knowledge, enthusiasm, and values. Monnica has outstanding skills in strategic planning and motivating people to achieve as evidenced by her leadership as a District Director, Region Advisor, and on the Board of Directors.

The ultimate professional...
Monnica provided excellent advice and insights while serving as the Region Advisor for Region 3. She provided a voice of reason when we had a tumultuous period as a Trio and always insisted that we focus on the member and do the job we were elected to do. Monnica is the ultimate professional.

Monnica inspires others to develop...
I joined Toastmasters shortly after meeting Monnica, where I learned so much from her. She taught me how to best present myself, through my words and my presence. She showed me how to help others better themselves, without critiquing. She encouraged me to try leadership roles within Toastmasters. I did not believe in myself but seeing Monnica’s excitement for me to grow, helped me develop confidence in leading. I took on multiple roles within Toastmasters and realized I could do more. Monnica is the reason I tried out leadership roles. I have developed into a Sr. manager and leader of 100+ person teams in my job. I co-created and lead an employee resource group that grew to 500+. I stepped down to move to the corporate ERG board in charge of 4000+ members. That little spark from Monnica grew into a fire!
I see Monnica as my informal mentor. She is always willing to help me out and listen to my struggles. I have also had the pleasure of working alongside her in multiple non-profit organizations. Monnica works hard and I can depend on her to do what she says she will. Her teamwork and ability to diffuse situations is what I am currently focused on learning from her. Monnica's positivity radiates and keeps teams going strong.
I know Monnica can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. There are truly no words for how grateful I am to have met Monnica all those years ago. I would not be the woman I am today without her mentoring.

Monnica Rose, DTM is an experienced leader who is passionate, positive, and proactive. I have had multiple opportunities to watch Monnica and observe her passion for Toastmasters. She has developed her leadership skills with increasing levels of responsibility. Monnica challenged me to serve as the chair of an event at the Fall Conference in District 50 and assured me that I could handle this task. I had no idea how big the job really was. I was scared to death but trusted what she said. When I agreed to do the job, Monnica anticipated my every need to help me be successful. Monnica assigned me an experienced mentor as a resource. She also generated a document that CLEARLY defined my responsibilities. Immediately she produced a schedule of meetings to assess the progress of my project as well as others. Monnica communicated effectively and respectfully as she addressed the attendees. Everyone was given ample opportunity to ask questions and share their concerns. I was immensely proud of my event. Monnica also generated a document that CLEARLY defined everyone’s responsibilities at the conference. I was glad that I was coaxed out of my comfort zone. The conference was a HUGE success! By example, mentoring, and encouragement, Monnica Rose is a definition of leadership at its finest.
