Inspired by our team is taking summer Fridays to find our flow - that creative space that we need as individuals to show up for our clients, supplier partners, and teammates. It’s the time that you are always telling yourself you will do later and never get around to. We are using this time to find balance in our lives and dig in deeper to our client strategy work, our professional development, and our personal relationships. These are the things the fuel the work we do. We will be off email on Fridays to be intentional with our time and push ourselves to be at our best.

Together We Shine!!!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Supporting Gilead’s Employee Resource Group, Gileados, to launch their SoCal chapter was rewarding and insightful. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Sitting with the ERG chair, we got to learn more about the experiences of Latino employees working at a large organization. We appreciated the time our client took to explain the deeper purpose behind Gileados and how these groups can make people feel at home. This understanding allowed us to come up with a design that spoke to the culture, the bright energy, the beginning of a new chapter, and SoCal all at the same time. We were honored to gift over 500 t-shirts to supporters and cheerleaders of Gileados across the company and look forward to many more chapter launches!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Gileados was created to embrace and share multifaceted Latino culture within Gilead’s professional communities in order to enhance recruitment and retention of diverse talent. Learn more about Gilead’s ERG groups ⁠⁠🔗 in bio.

Happy Birthday to one of the most incredible people we know! In 2016, Anna was the driving force behind pushing Monarch forward and we can confidently say that the company would not be what or where it is today without her. From her creative and witty ideas to her high accountability and ‘never-settling’ leadership style she has pushed each individual here at Monarch to become a better version of themselves. Her generosity of sharing her knowledge, skills, and passion is what lights us all up and we know one of her idols, Tupac Shakur, would be so proud.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today we celebrate Anna!⁠⁠

Poems + Small Businesses + Snacks = Happy Mail Days Are In Your Future!

Intentionality and creativity in your work can increase engagement and motivation on all types of teams. When thinking about how to incentivize our clients to fill out our yearly feedback survey we decided to give them a snack pack but not just any snack pack….

This pack includes snacks from some of our favorite small businesses! We also needed to find a creative way to communicate what each small business stood for and make it a fun experience for the receiver so we added an insert card that featured a poem, written by yours truly, and included a description of each business on the back.

Featuring







Food for thought for the next time you want to engage and motivate your team!

In honor of women’s history month, we wanted to provide perspectives from our employees on what it means to work for a woman-owned business. This post is for any woman business owner who may not understand the impact that their company has on its people and it’s to encourage the employees who feel impacted by working at a woman-owned company to stand up and celebrate their team.
Did you know, up until 1988 women could not get a business loan without their husband’s, or a male relative’s, co-signature? Understanding these barriers and challenges helps us to understand why owning a business as a women is a significant accomplishment. In 2021, there are more than 12.3 million women-owned businesses in the US. Monarch is proud to be one of those.
Tag another women-owned business that inspires you!
