I’m going out on a limb here by saying this, but it feels like teaching and education is part of my DNA. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, although when I was young, I thought I would be following Mum’s footsteps into primary education (I even have a primary school teacher degree). Even my first name, Monika, is supposedly derived from the Latin word for instruct and advise.

After graduating as a primary school teacher though, I quickly realised that my real calling was working with adults, so I have gotten my Masters in Human Resource Management and right after graduation I’ve topped it with an amazing course in training facilitation.

My entire career revolved around adult education in the past 18 years. Even when my actual job title was a bit different, tasks like running training sessions and teaching people skills have always found me.

I’ve spent over ten years in various adult-education-related roles, like working at a University, or supporting teams all over the globe as a Learning and Development professional.

I’ve created hundreds of training sessions and courses, delivered them live in a classroom setting, in a virtual classroom and completely remotely. The number of training hours I’ve delivered both live and virtually is in the thousands. Even when I didn’t find the subject matter particularly exciting, working with people and witnessing the positive change in their professional lives always lit me up and propelled me forward.

My passion for high-quality courses and training interventions, however, wasn’t always aligned with the corporate vision. Once it became a game of numbers over quality and transformation, I realised that I needed to find a different way to serve and support my learners.

And this is how Buzz Teamz came to life. Working as an employee this long, and transitioning into entrepreneurship in my forties gave me a unique perspective.

I know where you are coming from, because I’ve been there too, not even that long ago. I’m very familiar with the desire of breaking free and pursuing something that is my own, and wrestling with all the gremlins that come with that territory.

But most importantly, I know how to create a course that hits the mark. The one that engages your learners, helps them to achieve the transformation they’re looking for, solving their problems. And I would like to help you to do the same thing.

When you work with me, you can be sure that we are not just talking about the course you are creating. Creating a course is as much about you as an individual as it is about your business, your knowledge and experience. When I’m working with you, I see you for that wonderful, unique being who you are, and will help you through the tough bits when you need help and support.
