Execution under pressure
Monika combines willpower, stamina and resilience from extreme sports projects with a clear structure for implementation under pressure in companies.
Monika works with managers and teams who have a high level of responsibility and need to deliver reliably even in challenging phases.
As a two-time cycling record holder and initiator of the 124 Swiss Passes Challenge, she brings first-hand experience in taking full responsibility for demanding long-term projects, building and leading teams, and remaining fully operational under uncertainty, fatigue, and sustained performance pressure.
On this basis, she developed the CLIMB Framework: an action-oriented system for clarity, responsibility, functioning structures, visible progress and stable performance - regardless of motivation.
Through keynotes, workshops, and executive coaching, she shows how execution succeeds when conditions become demanding.
