Meet Mona
Mona Straub is a keynote speaker, resilience expert, certified leadership coach, and author of Pull Up Your Big Girl Panties: A No Whining Way to Handle Hard Things and Come Out on Top. A former Fortune 100 sales executive, she built her career leading high performing teams of 125 or more professionals and driving multimillion dollar revenue growth before founding Mona Straub Inspires.
Today, Mona works with executives, sales organizations, and business leaders who want to build resilience into the culture of their teams, not just the language of it. As a Certified Maxwell Leadership Coach, she brings a structured, results driven approach to a subject too often treated as a soft skill. Her signature framework, the PULL UP Method, gives leaders and teams a practical model for navigating disruption, setbacks, and high pressure growth without losing momentum or morale.
Mona's perspective is grounded in more than two decades of business leadership, as well as her own record of building, losing, and rebuilding ventures from the ground up. She serves on the Advisory Council of the Florida Women's Business Center and is recognized as an award winning advocate for women in business.
Meeting planners and executives book Mona because she delivers substance over sentiment. Her keynotes are direct, evidence based, and built to leave audiences with a framework they can apply immediately to elevate performance and create bold new outcomes
