What They’re Saying

Reflections from clients, collaborators, and co-dreamers.

  • Working with Monique Tula as a content creator for our NCOA equity project was a powerful experience. Her approach was deeply intentional—rooted in curiosity, accountability, and a true commitment to community.

    What stood out most was that Monique never approached the work as simply “developing content.” She took time to understand the spirit of the project and created something uniquely aligned with our vision and values.

    On our calls, her presence was grounded and thoughtful. She didn’t just bring frameworks—she brought care, insight, and integrity. Monique consistently showed up in a way that made our team feel supported and challenged in the best ways.

    This is who she is, and it’s why Monique is such a valuable asset to any team or project. We’re deeply grateful for her collaboration.

    —Jorge Vidal, Founder Intercambios

  • I received coaching from Cadence Consulting in Fall 2024–Spring 2025. It was transformative to say the least. Monique was intentional about the coaching time we spent together and really, truly listened with her whole heart.

    Throughout the entire time, I felt supported, encouraged, and challenged in the best ways. She was firm in holding me accountable—always reconnecting the discussion to the original goals—and flexible enough to know when sessions needed a detour.

    She helped me examine self-imposed barriers, made space for me to ask myself tough questions, and outlined a path to the best possible outcome. This guided planning time completely transformed the way I saw myself as a leader in my field.

    If you’ve plateaued and are looking for a coach who will gently push you to reimagine your best self, encourage you to be courageous, and cheer you on as you make the leap—Cadence Consulting is the real deal.

    —LaTryce Butler, Founder

    The Grant Factory

  • Monique Tula is a true alchemist—transforming spaces, relationships, and strategies to support the health and sustainability of movement work and the people who lead it.

    Her practice is grounded in sharp intellect and a rare ability to create deep psychological safety, offering a container where growth, healing, and innovation can thrive.

    I've had the privilege of collaborating with her on multiple projects, and she remains one of the most skilled, intuitive, and effective practitioners in the social justice and strategic planning space.

    —Tracie Gardner, Executive Director

    National Black Harm Reduction Network

  • We brought Monique on during a pivotal moment in our nonprofit activist organization’s evolution, as we were stepping into co-leadership and navigating the shift toward a more complex, layered structure. Her role was to help us build the foundations for this new phase—not by handing us a ready-made playbook, but by guiding us to uncover the clarity and alignment we needed to lead with confidence.

    Her wisdom doesn’t come in the form of easy answers, but in asking the right questions, holding space with calm authority, and helping you see past superficial triggers to the deeper dynamics at play. She normalizes complexity without diminishing it, and has a rare ability to call things what they are.

    Monique brings both insight and practicality, rooted in vast lived experience. She’s not just a deep thinker—she’s incredibly well-organized, with clear processes, sharp deliverables, and a gift for translating even the most existential leadership questions into practical tools.

    I walked away from each session feeling more empowered, composed, and ready to move forward.
