Five lessons I learned from losing my job:


1. Hiding yourself in isolation is never the answer. 

2. Rejection is the ultimate redirection to something so much bigger.

3. Reframe challenging times as an opportunity to strengthen your faith.

4. It doesn’t matter who believes in you as long as YOU believe in yourself.  

5. Starting over again is never as hard as it was the last time.  This time you have experience.  Don’t forget that.

Quote from Hal Lancaster

#furlough #furloughed #career

#IWD2022

So much can change in 3 years…

This week my son graduated from middle school 👨‍🎓

3 years ago he graduated from elementary school 👶🏼

A lot has changed. 😳

He has a more active social life than me 🤷🏼‍♀️

He can drive - with a permit 😝

His threshold for overcoming adversity is off the charts (care of global pandemic) 😇

He has learned how incredibly powerful he is 🤩

He is the healthiest and most disciplined eater I’ve ever met 🤷🏼‍♀️

He has turned around very challenging situations and has a strong sense of peace ✌🏻

He is taller than me 🤔

He has a strong relationship with God🙏🏻

To say that I’m proud would be an absolute understatement. 👨‍🎓

Take a moment today to reflect on how far you and your loved ones have come in the last few years.

What are you most grateful for today?

#gratitude #graduate #proudmoment

I am blonde, she's brunette. 👱🏻‍♀️

I am tall, she's petite.😎

My voice is high, her's is low.🙃

It's not our differences that bring us together.  ❌

It's our commitment to lift each other up and encourage each other no matter what.  👯‍♀️

Tag your ride or die below! Who do you show up for no matter what? 👇🏼

#HeatherMonahan #AlexCarter #WomenEmpoweringWomen #StrongWomen #Encouragement

I woke up this morning to this review of my new book Overcome Your Villains. 😳

I never knew I would be an author or a keynote speaker or a podcast host. I always thought I would lead sales teams in Corproate America because that’s what I had always done. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reading this reminds me that what you’ve always done isn’t what is available for you or meant for you. 🙌🏻

You are capable of so much more. 🙏🏻

“In a world full of embellished social media profiles, fake news, Instagram filters, and people who are filthy rich and infinitely famous (for contributing absolutely nothing to this world), it’s hard to distinguish what’s “real” anymore. That’s just one of the reasons why Heather Monahan’s voice is so refreshing, relevant and relatable right now. She approaches “Overcome Your Villains”, much like her last book, with an astonishing amount of humility, humbleness, candor, and connection to the audience.

Monahan isn’t trying to put on a façade- instead, she introduces her “Beliefs, Actions and Knowledge” formula by exposing moments from her past that most of us would never dare to publicly address. Yet, she does so in a way which doesn’t make her a victim and doesn’t try to establish herself as our savior. In contrast to a “Villain,” you come out of this experience with Heather believing that she is your champion and the kind of person you’d love to be your best friend. More importantly, she demonstrates the importance of self-respect, self-love and owning your own destiny.

For many of us (yours truly included), the memories of Villains past and present is a painful one. The truly debilitating realization, however, comes when you discover that your most influential Villain is yourself. But just like the best friend we’ve always hoped for, Heather isn’t going to let us wallow in our self-pity. Instead, she calls for quick and decisive action. Yes, unfair things happen to good people, and there are times when it looks like the sociopaths rule the world. But Monahan empowers us to turn the tables on self-limiting beliefs and our antagonists, thereby taking back our power and becoming the best, most “real” version of ourselves we can be. And there is really nothing more meaningful in life than that.”

Thank you, Heather.

Write the book.

Leave the crappy job.

You are meant for more.


And no I had no idea how to write a book, launch a podcast or a speaking career but I didn’t let that stop me and you shouldn’t either. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

#motivation #leadership #booklaunch

For years I would DM Gary Vaynerchuk

Every once in a while I would get a response back. But then crickets.

Then I took a Google alert out on his name.

I learned he was launching a wine business with a partner

I reached out to his partner offering some advice since I had been successful in the wine business in my 20’s

He took the call. At the end he asked “how can I ever help you?”

I asked him to get Gary on my podcast. He did.

Then I asked Gary if I could be a guest on his podcast.

He said yes.

Good things happen to people who take chances and give value to others.

And ask for what they want while adding value.

What good thing happened for you when you gave value to others? 👇🏻


#salesleadership #salestraining #keynotespeaker

Sometimes it’s what didn’t happen that matters the most. 🤔

My last decade in Corporate America I pitched the company I had been leading for 14 years on a board position.

I had earned it and I knew I would add massive value.


For years I was told:


Bad timing

Let’s circle back on this

Great idea, just not now

Will definitely consider this

We’ll table this at the next board meeting

Can’t afford for you to be distracted you’re doing such a great job for us


It’s what didn’t happen that taught me the biggest lesson. 😳

I’d rather sit alone than sit with those who don’t support me‼️

Once I fired my villain and went out on my own, I was miraculously offered my first Board position. ✨

This week I’m heading over to our Board of Directors quarterly meeting.

This week I sit with those that support me.

This week I sit with those that encourage me.

This week I sit with those that want me at the table.

Take a look around you.

Are you at the right table?

Forever choosing to sit alone over sitting with those that don’t appreciate me.

When you finally make that decision all of your doors begin to open. 🔑

#salesleadership #leadershiptraining #keynotespeaker

I was told I was too ambitious to achieve my business goals AND be a single mother.

I didn’t listen. I knew something other people didn’t know.

I knew what I was capable of and I knew the bond that my son and I have. 

Here’s what I did instead:

👉 I focused on my voice and my intuition. I kept going.

👉 I bought my first company with my partners at 24 yrs old for $25M

👉 I sold that company for $55M in under 3 years as the on-site partner (translation: I moved to Michigan to drive revenue while my partners stayed in Boston)

👉 I made the decision to leave private equity and jump into a publicly traded company next

👉 I pitched myself for a job that didn’t exist and was awarded VP of Sales.

👉 I was responsible for a revenue of $100M annually and a team spanning the country

👉 I was promoted to EVP of Sales.

👉 I was awarded the Florida Diversity Council Glass Ceiling Award.

👉 I was promoted to Chief Revenue Officer.

👉 I was responsible for merging acquired companies into the fold and launching 16 different products in my last few years in an industry in decline. 

👉 I was named one of the Most Influential Women in Radio.

👉 At the end of my tenure we had grown revenues to $200M + annually with a healthy double digit stock price 

Then, I was fired. 🔥 (spoiler alert: I was fired by another woman)

Since then, I’ve focused on showing up as ME.

Today, I am a:

✅ Top 50 Keynote Speaker

✅ 2X Best-Selling Author with Harper Collins Leadership

✅ TED Speaker with my talk translated into 6 languages

✅ Host of Top 25 Business Podcast, Creating Confidence

✅ Board Member

And most importantly, I am a mom who shows up for her son - no questions asked. ❤️

Don’t listen to others' limitations. That’s about them and not about you.

If I had listened I would still be living in Worcester and none of this would have happened. 

What will you achieve if you tune out the noise? Give it to me below! 

#HeatherMonahan #KeynoteSpeaker #Resilience

You make a mistake? People will talk.

You do something great? People will talk.

You do things differently? People will talk.

You stay the course? People will talk.

Here’s the moral of the story:

No matter what it is you choose to do, people will have something to say.

So you might as well do whatever it is you want 👀

If they’re gonna talk, let them.

What matters is you’re doing YOU regardless of what anyone else thinks!

15 years ago today, my life changed forever❗

May 31st 2007 my son was born. 

10 days after giving birth via C-section,

My boss called telling me to get on a plane and go on a very “important” work trip.

It turned out he wanted me to deliver a speech to graduating seniors at his alma mater.

I boarded the flight with my breast pump in hand, leaving my 10-day old newborn at home.

Back then I was afraid that not taking the work trips would mean I might be replaced by someone who would take the trip.

But being a mom has changed all of that for me. 

I wanted to be the confident person that I wanted my son to be.

I realized that if I wanted my son to be strong and confident, then I would need to show up that way too.

Had this happened today, I would’ve put myself first and asked for what I needed.

So grateful my son has taught me this powerful lesson that we are always teaching others how to treat us 💯

Even at 15 he still makes me want to be a better version of myself ❤️

Happy Birthday, Dylan!

What lessons have your kids taught you?

#KeynoteSpeaker #PodcastHost #Author #SalesLeadership #Growth #WorkingMom

This was the biggest epiphany that I’ve had.

At first everyone was telling me to keep it a secret that I’d been fired 🤫

I decided to reframe it and see it differently.

I decided to see it as “In good Company”

Oprah had been fired.
Mark Cuban had been fired.
JK Rowling had been fired.

Maybe getting fired is the best thing that’s happened to me 🤔

If I hadn’t been fired I wouldn’t have:

Sunday Reminder:


You have not met all of the people that are going to love you yet. 😇

You haven’t met all of the friends you’ll have in this lifetime. ✌🏻

You haven’t experienced all of the amazing things this life has to offer you yet. 🙏🏻


That is fact. ✅


I used to think I didn’t have space for any more friends. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been blessed to have so many friends through my entire life it’s one of the biggest gifts I’ve received. 🥰

Then the pandemic hit and I met so many incredible people on line it shocked me. 😳

Since then I’ve made it a priority to take those on line friendships into real life. 👌🏻

Thank you Melanie Borden for including me in your trip! It was so great getting to hang with you again! 🥂

People make time for people who matter to them. #thankyou


What or who did you make time for this week? 👇🏻


The grass grows where you water it. ☝🏻


And of course I made time for my OG bestie Kristina Johnson who doesn’t make time for LinkedIn 🤣


Make time for the people who matter. 🤩


#womenempoweringwomen #bestadvice

When I got fired I had no idea what was ahead of me.


I was petrified.

I asked for help.

I updated my reviews and recommendations.

I took action.

Most importantly I fired my villain.

Suddenly, unexpected things started happening.

I started building momentum.

I didn’t know where I was going but I knew I was moving forward.

Things started to take shape.

I launched my book.

I launched my podcast.

I landed my first cover.

I gave my first Ted talk.

I signed with my first agent.

3 years ago when I was fired I had no idea what was in store for me. I couldn’t have imagined how many amazing opportunities were ahead of me.

You never know what the future holds so it makes sense to plan for the unexpected and get excited for your future!!

Am I the only one that is left scratching her head when I see some of the content on social media? 🤔

Yesterday I saw a woman post that she was just named #1 Keynote speaker 2021. Selfishly, I wanted to see where I ranked so I googled her and Keynote speaker to find the article.

Nothing came up.

Then I googled her and nothing about being a speaker at all ? 🤔

Then I had a call with an influencer that posts about her 8 figure on line business. 2 minutes into the call she shared she wants to live where I do but can’t afford it 🤔

I just saw a post a friend of mine put up with the blue check verification icon.
I commented “congrats on getting verified!”

She deleted my comment and sent me a dm.

It said “I didn’t get verified. I want to be verified so I include the blue check hoping I get it one day” 🤔


Here’s what I know:


If you weren’t named Top Keynote speaker don’t post that you were.

If you don’t have an 8 figure empire don’t post that you do.

If you’re not verified don’t pretend you are.

I’m not the only one that has Google and can fact check.

Once someone sees you as misleading you have lost their trust.

Your integrity is priceless. Act accordingly.

Perspective is a powerful thing.

This morning I took a soul cycle class on a rooftop outside. It was amazing.

It was a Taylor Swift themed ride.

It made me remember the night I met a 16 year old Taylor Swift years ago.

I was the VP of Sales for a radio company and she was the singer for our annual meeting that night.

She and her mother were sitting next to me at dinner. They were so sweet and nice.

Then a man I worked with took the stage and proceeded to roast me during our dinner. I was livid but I swallowed my pride and tried to smile to hold back my tears.

I had worked so hard to get to the highest level in the company and plenty of people hated that I had leapfrogged over them.

Taylor leaned over to me and asked me the man’s name. “Danny” I said. Taylor walked out of dinner.

10 minutes later Taylor was called to the stage.

She didn’t sing her new single. Nope, she sang the song that she had just written about Danny.

She roasted Danny lyrically. She saw something wrong happening and she did something about it.

Taylor Swift reminded me that you have to play a lot of dinner parties before you get to play the arenas.

She also showed me that when you see something bad happening you jump in and do something about it.

#struggleisreal #taylorswift

Don’t wait for someone to offer you the promotion.

Pitch yourself.

Don’t wait for someone to offer you a book deal.

Write the book.

Don’t wait for someone to offer you the stage.

Take the stage.

Don’t wish for it. Make it happen!

I am so glad I did!

Are you making it happen before 2022 ends? 💯

#HardWork #DreamBig #keynotespeaker #podcasthost

A strong person is not someone who doesn’t feel afraid.

But someone who faces fears and takes action.

Here’s how you can bust through your fears:

💁🏼‍♀️ Hold yourself accountable to another person and watch how fast you move.

💁🏼‍♀️ Choose to see fear as a green light that means GO!

💁🏼‍♀️ Surround yourself with people whom you trust and will challenge you to grow.

This week has been a tough one and it’s only Tuesday. 😳\n\nSoul Cycle made the decision to go back to only 50% capacity in the spin studio. 🥲\n\nTwo of my in person live events for September were cancelled yesterday. 🙁\n\nThis morning driving my son to the bus stop my heart started racing on the highway. For no reason. 🤪\n\nI realized I’m feeling like everything is out of control again. 🤯\n\nHow do you handle it when everything starts unraveling again? 👇🏻\n\nI’m focused today on recording my new audio book, gratitude for what I have and accepting that I have no control over what happens next in the world. 🙏🏻\n\nPraying for health and safety for everyone. \n\n\n#keynotespeaker #furlough #mindsetmatters

My biggest blessings came from my biggest losses.😳
 
Spoiler alert:  it didn’t feel like that in the moment 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
1.     I was sexually harassed. 
2.     I was cheated on.  
3.     I was fired.  
 
As a result of those moments:
 
1.     I left a company and an industry that was not meant for me.
 
2.     I boarded a plane and moved to Michigan to become an equity partner and purchase a $25M company we sold for $55M 3 years later.  
 
3.     I wrote my first best-selling book Confidence Creator, launched my Professional Speaking career, wrote my second best-selling book Overcome Your Villains, launched my Top 25 Business Podcast Creating Confidence and landed my Board Seat.  
 
Turns out those low moments were the gifts I never knew I needed. 🙏🏻
 
All of the challenges I faced, ended up being Redirection, not Rejection! 💯
 
If you are facing a loss or a challenge or feel like you are at your rock bottom,
 
Know this:  Today, is your launch point! 🚀
 
You were made for more and you are about to see exactly what that means! 😇
 
You can’t connect the dots looking forward.  
That’s something that only happens when you look back. ✅
 
Need some support and confidence to keep going?
 
I created my podcast for you, wrote my books for you, deliver my keynotes for you and now you can apply for my Mastermind and be in community to ensure you achieve your goals.

I know someone out there needs to hear this today:

Sometimes, things have to be removed from our lives to make space for better ones ✨

👉🏻 Breakup? That means a better person is out there.
👉🏻 Got fired? That means a better opportunity is on its way.
👉🏻 Lost a client? That means a better deal is right around the corner.

When you let go, you create space for better things to show up in your life ✨

The best career advice I can give:

Become loyal to yourself, your mission and your purpose.

Too often we become loyal to a company, an industry, or a boss and that will inevitably hold us back.

The goal is to reach your highest potential.

To do that you may need to change industries, jobs and even go out on your own.

When you are loyal to yourself and connected to your mission, you will never mind sitting alone. ✨

Not a lot of people know this about me unless you’ve read my books 👇🏻


➝ I started working at the age of 9.

Being born poor made me realize I never wanted to struggle again.

I became so focused on making $

I started with paper routes then waitressing and bartending.

Then I thought I had made it.

➝  UntilI was fired from my C-suite position at the age of 43.

Being fired by the same company that promoted me 3 times led me here today.

I lost my guaranteed paycheck.

But I gained SO MUCH more—the confidence to do what I was meant to do.


One thing I learned after getting knocked down

You get to decide if you’re staying down or bouncing back 💯

A few years ago my son and I were getting fuel on a Sunday morning and we were robbed. 😭

It was an awful experience that taught me to always hold my keys, lock the car and hold all belongings when pumping gas.

My son had a harder time. He was triggered every time he would see a similar car to the one that robbed us. 👀

It took a few years before he would go to get fuel with me again.

Then the pandemic hit and he lost his dog, lost sports, in person learning and things were hard again.

Last week Apple Pay alerted me that my son had just filled up his Jeep.

It reminded me how all of the hardships we go through make us so much more resilient, wise and prepared for our future.

Today, he drove us to church and stopped to get fuel.

He got out of the car keys and phone in hand, locked the doors and pumped the gas. 😇

In that moment it all made sense to me.

The challenges we face set us up for more successful futures. 🤩


Not sure what the future holds but I do know thatThe Best Is Yet to Come! 🙏🏻


What challenge have you faced that you now realize set you up for future strength? 👇🏻

I can’t believe I am sharing this!😳

Today, we celebrate the 🌟 300th episode 🌟 of my podcast, Creating Confidence!

Most of my career I thought I was only good at sales and leadership, and that was all I could do because that was all I had ever done. (Ever feel like that?)🤷🏼‍♀️

Then I was fired and I decided to take a risk. 

Since then I have blown up the lanes and reinvented myself as a Best-Selling Author, Top 50 Keynote Speaker and Podcast Host.

I had NO idea that I had the potential to do any of these things, I just decided to try.  🙋🏼‍♀️

If you want to find your true calling in life, you have to step into the unknown.

Looking back, I made the decision to see Fear as a Liar and I stepped right into it. I had no idea what was ahead. 😇

In the last 3 years, you and I have met hundreds of amazing people who are fearlessly living an inspiring life on the show. 🔥

Thank you for listening and for leaving thousands of 5 ⭐ reviews. 🙏🏻

When I was young in business I was told, “your loyalty can really separate you from the competition if you let it.”⁣
⁣
My problem is I saw this as being loyal to my boss or the company or my team or the industry not to the one person I needed to be loyal to. ⁣
⁣
Being loyal to yourself is absolutely the best advice I can share with anyone. Be loyal to your dreams, your instincts and your goals. Be loyal to your purpose and mission and realize everything else is just part of the surrounding story that will continue to change over time. ⁣
⁣
You are the one constant. You are the hero of your story now start acting like it 👏🏻

I’ve never seen a successful person who hasn’t had to overcome challenges.

The tough times are temporary.

You were built to last.

If I made it through the challenges in my past, then this one is nothing. 👊🏻

Allow me to reintroduce myself 🔥

I’m Heather Monahan and I started at the Bottom in Worcester- que Drake 🎵

I became an equity partner at age 25 and moved to Saginaw Michigan to run our $25M company. 👱🏻‍♀️

I sold it for $50M two and a half years later. 💰

I pitched myself for a job that didn’t exist at a publicly traded radio company. 🤓

I was awarded the position and promoted 3X eventually shattering the glass ceiling as the CRO 🥳

At the end of 2017 I was named one of the Most Influential Women in Radio, 3 weeks later I was fired when the CEO became ill and elevated his daughter to replace him. 😳

I posted that I had been fired 🔥

That landed me on the Elvis Duran Show. He told me I was writing a book. 🙃

I wrote Confidence Creator in 5 months and it “trumped” Trump for #1 on the Business Biography list on Amazon in 2018. 📚

I delivered my TedX talk and launched my podcast in 2019. 🚀

I signed with Harper Collins Leadership in 2020 and was appointed to the Board Of Directors at Healthlynked. 🎯

In 2021 I launched Overcome Your Villains it went #1 on the Workplace Culture list on Amazon. 🏅

In 2022 I was named Top 50 Keynote Speaker by Real Leaders. 🎤

Good things take time. ⏰

Great things take a little bit longer 🤩

I get asked a lot to speak for free. 😳


Here’s the thing:


I wouldn’t ask you for a service for free so I’m not sure why you think I would devalue the service I provide 🤔


When I speak for 60 minutes, I’m distilling 25 years of business expertise into a high impact event that leaves the audience wanting more.🎯


My value is in the 25 years of business experience and expertise, not just the show I put on while I’m there.💯

You want something for free?

My e-book is FREE!
My podcast is FREE!
My weekly Newsletter is FREE!

You want me to consult your company, coach you individually or deliver a keynote presentation?

Happy to do it!🤩

And yes, they all have a cost.

And no I don’t diminish my value and I suggest you don’t either.❌

I’m pretty sure Gary Vaynerchuk doesn’t apologize for his keynote fees.

I’m not apologizing either.🤷🏼‍♀️
