ABOUT MONIQUE TULA

Leaders don’t come to me because they want inspiration. They come because they’re done pretending they’re fine. They’re burnt out, stuck in survival mode, and secretly wondering if it’s time to walk away. One of my clients, a Black woman leading a nationally recognized nonprofit, reached out ready to quit. The stress was eating her alive, and her board didn’t see what she was holding. In twelve weeks, we restructured her leadership role, clarified her team’s responsibilities, and reignited her connection to purpose. Instead of stepping down, she secured new funding, rebuilt internal trust, and started leading with joy again. That’s what I do. Through Cadence Coaching & Consulting, I help nonprofit and community-rooted leaders move from burnout to brilliance. I bring sharp strategy, deep care, and decades of experience navigating systems that weren’t built for us. I’ve led national coalitions, stabilized executive transitions, moved millions to frontline work, and built resilient teams. I’m now guiding the next generation of nonprofit leaders to shift from managing crisis to moving with clarity, purpose, and power. But at the end of the day, it’s not the titles or budgets that change lives. What actually transforms people and organizations is this: You remembering who you are. You reclaiming the vision they told you was too much. You no longer shrinking to survive. If you’re ready to stop managing dysfunction and start designing a life and leadership model that honors your full self—let’s talk. Because your work matters. And so do you.
