Monique Tallon
CEO
Highest Path Consulting


Monique Tallon is a Women's Leadership and Inclusion expert, and author of Leading Gracefully: A Woman's Guide to Confident, Authentic and Effective Leadership. She is also the CEO of Highest Path Consulting, a global executive coaching and training firm specializing in developing 21st century leaders and building gender-balanced, inclusive cultures where innovation can thrive. Highest Path helps organizations attract and retain the right customers and talent by creating workplaces that value diversity and where collaboration, transparency and trust lead to better business outcomes. Monique comes from the world of tech in Silicon Valley. Her previous experience as a Marketing manager includes producing tradeshows and large-scale conferences for eBay, Inc. including a 10,000 person conference where she managed internal and external teams and led one of the most successful events in the company’s 10 year history. Through her first-hand experience working in the male-dominated corporate world of Silicon Valley, Monique learned at a young age that in business, what works for men doesn’t necessarily work for women. She discovered that there was a different way to lead that felt more authentic to who she was and not surprisingly, turned out to be as (if not more!) effective in delivering business results. This led her to create the Feminine Leadership Model™ and the Feminine Leadership Coaching Program™ to help women embrace their feminine strengths and combine them with traditional qualities to develop an effective leadership presence and create more influence and impact. Combining 15 years of personal development work, professional coach training, and corporate experience, she has coached and trained hundreds of executives in organizations to cultivate a leadership style that is ultimately more inclusive and drives innovation – two things that are necessary in the 21st century economy.
