Tatyana Gao is a leadership strategist, executive coach, and trusted advisor to founders, CEOs, and senior executives leading organizations through growth, complexity, and high-stakes decisions. She is the Founder and CEO of Monada Coaching & Consulting and the creator of the Conscious Leadership Method, a proprietary framework designed to strengthen executive judgment, align leadership teams, and build resilient, high-performing organizations.

​

Tatyana works at the intersection of leadership psychology, strategic decision-making, and organizational performance. She partners with executive teams and business owners to elevate leadership capacity, navigate pressure, and make clear, values-aligned decisions that impact culture, capital, and long-term enterprise value. Her work focuses on identity-level leadership transformation, executive presence, communication under pressure, and the alignment required to scale without eroding trust, clarity, or momentum.

​

With more than a decade of experience across corporate, higher education, consulting, and executive coaching environments, Tatyana has held leadership and program management roles at Dartmouth College and the Harvard Kennedy School. She is a John Maxwell Leadership Certified Team Member and has trained with the Harvard Kennedy School Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Clinic, bringing a practical, research-informed approach to executive performance.

​

Her perspective on leadership is shaped by personal resilience. After a life-altering accident as a teenager, she had to relearn basic daily activities and take full responsibility for her future. That experience became the foundation of her work in conscious leadership, decision-making under pressure, and human potential.

​

Today, Tatyana advises senior leaders and executive teams across industries, helping them lead with clarity, authority, and alignment, so they can scale organizations, make sound strategic decisions, and build cultures that sustain performance at the highest levels.

 

 

 

 

Our philosophy

​

I believe we create out reality through our thoughts, mindset and energy. Thoughts create emotions and emotions generate a specific energy field around us, which attracts (or pushes away) certain things into our life. When our body, mind, and soul are not in alignment, we feel unhappy, frustrated, and at times physically ill. 

 

If you are struggling, I can help you release limiting beliefs, unprocessed emotions, and past trauma, allowing you to find direction and purpose in life–and create the life you desire and deserve. 

 

Coaching is a great tool that not only shows you what beliefs may be holding you back, it also helps you change them, step-by-step, to gain control of your life and understand how your body, mind, and spirit are integral parts of the process. 

 

My goal is to help you align with your higher self and your purpose, by shifting your mindset and discovering your true power. During our sessions, I ask questions so you can learn more about yourself, your needs, fears, desires, and dreams. I create and hold a safe space for you and listen without judgment, so you feel heard and free to be yourself. When needed, I offer practical tools, gleaned from multiple disciplines, that you can apply and practice right away.

 

With my guidance, you will identify your S.M.A.R.T. goals and create a plan to help you achieve the things you want, while offering gentle accountability, to help you reach your desired outcomes.
