Monique Mackinnon

Working with Monique

As a specialized practice founder, I partner with leadership teams in premier organizations to navigate complexity and capitalize on emerging opportunities through innovative methodologies. My clientele spans high-performance cultures across educational institutions, professional service firms (especially certified public accounting), and elite sports organizations. Leveraging my credentials as a licensed Ontario private investigator with extensive leadership inquiry experience, I handle sensitive matters with the discretion and ethical rigor demanded by industry leaders.

My expertise combines strategic elements crucial to organizational excellence: ethical leadership frameworks, negotiation strategy, sophisticated risk management, performance optimization, and proprietary "serendipity scanning" methodologies that transform perceptive professionals into visionary leaders. I tailor my keynote engagements and executive workshops — delivered mostly across North America and the UAE in both in-person and virtual formats — precisely to each organization’s strategic imperatives.

My professional foundation includes certification as a Level 3 Trauma Informed Practitioner, specialized training in the LifePrints system (a scientifically grounded method for identifying innate talents and purpose alignment in top performers), and an Honours Bachelor of Physical Education from the University of Ottawa. Beyond professional pursuits, I maintain personal commitments to peak fitness and collaborative relationships with forward-thinking leaders.

"When I first heard Monique MacKinnon deliver a keynote at the Global Innovation Summit 2016 in Dubai on How to Negotiate and Innovate on the Fly in the VUCA World, I couldn't help but listen to her till the end. VUCA stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous and the relevance of the topic couldn't be denied. Monique spoke about negotiation tactics, using psychology as a tool to understand people and their actions. She shared real-life examples to help us relate to a situation and the steps she took to ensure that the person could emerge as envisioned. A wonderful speaker, her story-telling approach simplified the subject and stressed on the importance and application of negotiation and innovation in very practical terms."
