Alex Allen National Operations at Manager Emergency Trade Services www.emergencytradeservices.com.au
I have had the sincere pleasure and blessing of working with Monica whilst working for two different employers over the last decade. The first time I met and worked with her, I quickly came to realise that my meetings with her each week were the most treasured part of my job. During my time working with her, she helped me through one of my worst health-related times, as well as helping me grow exorbitantly, both in my work and in my personal life. Then I began a new position with my new employer, and over the last 5 years in my ever-growing role within the company, I have had the privilege of not only working with Monica directly but also working with her in my management position, to oversee our team.
Over these last 5 years, Monica has helped me in more ways than I could count and I know that I would be a much different person than what I am today if it weren’t for her. Although there are many cogs to our company wheel, Monica is the glue, the grease, and the encouragement behind every moving piece, and without her, I know that our company and I personally would be nowhere near as successful, resilient and bonded as what we are today.

Dear Monica,
We have been working with you for the past 4 and a bit years. We have watched ETS grow from a small organisation to a large national organisation and I don’t believe we couldn’t have done it without your mentoring and coaching skills.
Our company has two cultural differences in the Philippines and Australia and you have a have been able to adapt your knowledge and expertise, to enable us to develop and grow as a family.
I would sincerely recommend you to any organisation around the world.

“We have been working with Monica from LeapFrog Training for more than 12 years. To say we are happy with Monica’s service would be a gross understatement. Monica is a sounding board, a voice of reason and provides impartial and PRACTICAL advice to management regarding training and staffing. Particularly, the personality profiling, and application of the information it provides, has been invaluable to our business in training and managing our staff. Monica’s dedication, commitment and genuine desire to help her clients succeed are unparalleled. She goes above and beyond and exceeds our expectations in every possible way. We have never been disappointed or let down by Monica and cannot recommend her services highly enough. A million THANK-YOU’s Monica!
Thank you, Monica I very much appreciate your ongoing support. You have been and will always be one of my great mentors, always a voice of reason, sensible advice and considerate support. I hope you know how much I appreciate it. I’m forever indebted.

After seeing such good results with our salon, we have continued to retain Monica’s services for our business. We have always seen good results and staff respond well.
When a staff member begins with us, we engage Monica to do a personality test and undergo a customer service training course for 5- 6weeks. We have found both these to be integral to our business. The personality test allows us to work better with our staff by understanding them and to help them grow and get the best results for both of us and also how to work in well with the Team. The customer service training allows us to make clear to our staff members the importance of service and how important this is to the whole culture of our business.
Monica also still trains our salon manager this helps with accountability and always stretching her to think outside the circle.
We would like to thank Monica for both her training and ongoing support of not just our business but our staff. Monica understands the importance of having happy and productive staff in your team and we can tell you it makes the difference to the overall atmosphere of our business.
We would recommend Monica’s training and services to anyone that wishes to grow their team and that exceptional customer service is important to them. It proves happy staff and better-understood staff create a better environment for everyone.
Ali Barker Salon Manager Price Attack

I have been working with Monica for 5 years on building my skills as a manager in a local salon.
I had a lot of trouble starting out, having been one of the senior stylists and then moved up to management. I felt as if I wasn’t taking seriously and needed the tools to help me re-build the relationships I had with my team and understand their needs as well as my own to get the best out of the team and me.
I see Monica each week to build the salon up with new and out of the box ideas to keep our clients and staff happy to stay with us.
Beveridge Carey Jim Beveridge OwnerBeveridge Carey Accountants has been operating in Toowoomba since 2004. For the last three years, we have engaged Leapfrog Training’s services, with our staff completing Monica’s personality training as a part of our induction process. With this, our staff now have a greater appreciation of their co-worker’s personalities and the strengths they themselves offer the workplace. Monica’s personality training has encouraged a healthy work environment that supports open communication, cooperation and respect among all employees. It has had an enormous impact on the way our office operates and we could not recommend Monica and her business enough.
Erin Office Manager Beveridge Carey
My name is Erin and I was introduced to personality training through my workplace. After completing my work training, I decided to keep seeing Monica every week for both Leapfrog Training and The Chocolate Frog Diet. I had recently been promoted from Receptionist to Office Manager and had very little faith in myself and my ability to excel in this role. With Monica’s help and guidance though, I have more than exceeded my own expectations both professionally and personally. Over the last three years as Office Manager I have coordinated a move of premises, implemented numerous procedures to enhance productivity and streamline workflow, I have developed healthier working relationships and most recently implemented coffee Wednesdays (Hump day, Pump day) to boost morale around the office. Monica has also helped me in countless ways through my weight loss journey through her business The Chocolate Frog Diet. Her continuous support, advice and friendship have played a huge role in understanding the reasons behind my unhealthy relationship with food and how I can change that relationship for the better. I don’t believe I would have reached this level of personal or professional growth without Monica.
Bruce and Vicki Kelly Owners of Calm Me www.calmme.net.au
I have known Monica for the last 6 years’. Monica has been a life changer to me and my family. Monica often through her understanding of people, knows what I am thinking before I do. Monica has this ridiculous ability to be able to read people and the ability to know what they need to find their own happiness. I originally went to Monica for weight loss and in the process have found me – this is such a gift that can’t be replicated. She has helped me to work out what to me is important in life and to be true to myself. Before I was living life, now I feel like I am thriving and no one else can control my happiness. In the process realizing what is important in life. I have no hesitation in recommending Monica, as she is genuine and works with you warts and all.
Vicki Kelly: Monica helps me to understand my personality and the different components that make me unique as an individual. She has been a great support and good sounding board, being there for when I have had my ups and downs. Monica has been very good helping our family grow, by understanding the different personalities in the family dynamic. She has life experiences that make her real. She understands the important balance of healthy eating and exercise, that is enduring and practical even on Christmas Day. I will continue to promote Monica to my friends and family, as she is real.
LeapFrog Training Testimonial from Abuzz Couriers
Mel Moffett Owner of Abuzz Couriers Central Queensland.
Hi my name is Mel Moffett from Abuzz Couriers in central Queensland and I have been employing
LeapFrog Training to train my drivers on Customer Service and Team Building since 2011.
Monica’s programs are very affordable for small business and the results are excellent.
Monica’s ability to connect with my staff and make them understand “If we don’t take care of our customers someone else will” is second to none.
The best part is that it is all done on the phone so there is no downtime for my staff or my company.
I also keep Monica on retainer to call my staff every month which has helped us all to remain focussed on our business at all times.
Please give me a call on 0437895000 if you would like any more information on what Monica has achieved for my company.
Praise and Mae Kaitlyn Buckholz Testimony
As a new business owner, the world of business was so unknown to me. I soon came across Monica who was the most understanding and dedicated mentor. With her support, making the first step into the business world wouldn’t have been possible. I am forever in debt from the support shown by Monica.
LeapFrog Training offers not only the potential for you to learn about how to approach others within a team it also presents an opportunity to get to know yourself better. In knowing how you perceive, understand, interpret and react to things in the world not only helps you understand yourself but also how others might perceive you.
This is vital for both managers and team members to function together harmoniously and to be respectful of each other as humans. I’ve found Monica can always guide you to a solution if there are issues and helps to bring out your best and the team’s best. I would highly recommend her training for everyone in business if you want to move forward as a whole.
In the middle of 2019, I started my own business helping people with their social media, Monica and I was talking about her social media in one of my trainings, and I said to her I could so help you with that, let me do something up for you and see what you think. Later that afternoon I emailed Monica with a couple of Facebook photo’ s/posts. We talked and talked about me starting a little side business doing clients social media.
Monica helped me start up my business with pricing, how I could get my name out there and also helped me with managing my time, as I have a full-time job managing a salon in town and I also have a small child. Monica’s knowledge is incredible with how to create something out of nothing. Monica is amazing as what she does. I can’t thank her enough.
Shahid Hosseni / State Operations Manager Victoria
It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Monica as one of the most professional, dedicated and ethical individual that I have had the pleasure of working with. I initially engaged Chocolate Frog Diet in early 2011 for personal health and wellbeing support. Monica however was later engaged by my company CLAIM CENTRAL PTY LTD as health and wellbeing consultant.
Monica’s persistence, follow-up & service levels are second to none. Monica’s expert knowledge in her field and her ability to support me to achieve my goals in my job and personal life was outstanding. I recommend Monica wholeheartedly to anyone and/or organization that is sincerely committed and looking to achieve a true and valuable result in work and personal life.
Thank you for your excellent support and for such valuable experience.
Matthew Lawrence
Thank you Leap Frog for finally bring back old fashion customer service training that works. Our clients have recently commented on the increase in our customer experience and net promoter scores and this is all because no frills, no nonsense, practical service training.

We are a national service provider to major insurers and have been using Leap Frog’s approach to customer service and training for 2yrs now with amazing results”.
Jeff Gough / Director
Hello Monica,
I am so happy with the end result of your work with Taylor.
As a Business owner & with Taylor being my Daughter I always knew she could do the job at hand, but I was perplexed by her young age (17) & her ability to take the training on board.
Like yourself with the reports and comments you have sent to myself & my team,
I was amazed at how she has come through this process with flying colours & today she effectively managers a vital part of our day to day business.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your service to others!
Taylor Gough / Customer Service Representative
During this experience I have enjoyed learning about myself and other’s the most. I have learnt one of the most important things is making the first 30 second of meeting someone count.
To always answer the phone with a smile because it makes you sound happy and enthusiastic, even if it’s been a bad day. Appearance also counts even if no one is seeing you.
Always watch, listen, look & learn. Always write everything down so you don’t forget anything. Rewarding myself for good things that I have done. Always communicating with the customer’s or client. Always listening to the answer. Every phone call is Valuable, if you say you are going to call them back make sure you do.
Making a good experience is always going to make a difference to someone day.
I think this was a great program and I did learn a lot from it. I really enjoyed it.
Ingrid Moffatt / Principal Consultant/Director
Monica is by far the best business and personal coach I have worked with. She is insightful, she works besides you and is always looking for and encouraging you to be your best. She is always prepared, and her industry knowledge and ability to bring examples of similar situations to the discussion makes her sessions interesting and meaningful. There is no way you can’t be the best you can by working with Monica. She is truly what I would call a mentor for all ages. Kind regards.
Sarah Locke / Team Administrator
I really enjoyed the training sessions. Going in I had no idea what would be required or what we would get out of it. I found it personally beneficial learning about the different personalities and how to conduct yourself when dealing with Candidates and Clients. It will not only help within the Work Environment but outside of work as well. It is certainly something that will be in the back of my mind from here on out. I learnt that I need to stick up for myself and not let myself get taken for granted… I am only one person and need to be appreciated and that I need to set myself goals… not only professional but personal.
I would have however liked to have something to take away and look back over if I needed a refresher.
Thanks again, and I really appreciate the time you spent with us.
Hopefully it wasn’t a waste of time.
Darren Siemsen / Business Development Manager
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the efforts and time you spent with our staff here at Envirofrontier. We have learned a great deal from your reports and interactions with our team. With your knowledge on personalities and people skills we have a seen a vast improvement across a range of behavioural issues and non-compliance of our team.
The 2 courses we elected to take helped our team understand personality types and traits which in turn benefited our communication greatly across our tree partners nationally. Internally we were also able to express ourselves and guide our team better.
Thank you Monica for your assistance and help.
Timothy Barr / Director
She has the amazing ability to get the best out of your staff and provide special personality tools for the business owner to communicate with each individual staff member in getting the best out of them and in having a better work place within the company.
Jennita, USA
My life coaching experience with Monica is proving to be a God-send. She’s incredibly supportive and caring, yet firm and practical in her approach. Monica continues to help me focus on what is truly important and guides me in setting life priorities and goals. When my emotional, physical and spiritual rollercoasters seem to be overwhelming, she provides a safe and confidential haven for listening and counselling. In this journey of self-discovery, she has aided me in regaining harmony whilst balancing a challenging and demanding lifestyle. Monica is an inspirational mentor who has committed herself to my personal development, for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Monica, for helping me get positive results!
Lauren Ivanyi / Business Development Manager, Management Consultant
Monica is a wonderful communicator and someone who will get things done. She is very efficient in managing her time and tasks with goals in mind. I would be happy to work with Monica in the future and recommend her Chocolate Frog Diet and LeapFrog Training to anyone who is in need.
Congratulations on having such a great repertoire of services and skills to offer Monica, it truly is a rare find for people in need.
LeapFrog Training Testimonial from Leanne Phillips at Electrical Sensations
We have been working with Monica from LeapFrog training for 10 months where she is providing management training, advice and essentially being our ‘sounding board’ for ideas and initiatives to improve our business. Monica is incredibly dedicated to helping improve our business and is invaluable to our management team. Her suggestions and advice are without exception, practical and useful. No ‘fluff’. We have used many business consultants, advisors, coaches, strategists and the like during our time in business. Without doubt Monica has provided the most practical and useful support to us as business owners, by far. I cannot recommend highly enough the services of Monica from Leap Frog Training.
P.S. and look what we have just won.
Leap Frog Training testimonial from Ali Jarred Price Attack Grand Central
Leap Frog Training testimonial from Ali Jarred Price Attack Grand Central My Journey with Monica started a little over 3 years ago now, after sitting down with my employer, telling her I was in way over my head managing 6 senior staff and one junior staff members, I needed help on how I could get the best out of the employees and to help me become a more confident manager.
Then I met Monica at Leap Frog Training, Monica has been the best mentor for me, I have learnt so much, all different ways to get the best out of my staff and also me. The support I receive from Monica is amazing. Even if I don’t have an appointment with her I know I can call anytime and get the help I need on the issue or dilemma I am having. Not only has Monica helped me with work related issues she also helped me with my own problems (self-doubt) and got me in the right frame of mind to take on the small or bigger things in life.
I couldn’t have done this without Monica. The training I do with Monica is something I look forward to every week, knowing I’m going to achieve my goal for the week with her fresh and out of the box ideas you just know it’s going to be a great week. The whole experience with Monica over the years has been amazing and life changing for me and also for the business I work for. She is an inspiration. I would recommend Monica to any big or small business to get the best out your staff and YOU.
LeapFrog Training Testimonial from Bec Manson
I have known Monica for many years. When I wanted to start my own Holistic Healing business I approached Monica because I knew she had impeccable business skills and I valued her opinion and knowledge. I knew how to do the healing side of my new business, however I was unsure how to actually do the “business” part. Monica helped me firstly by supporting my vision, and then giving me practical advice on how to achieve the outcomes I was after. The result was I gained confidence in myself and my ability to run a business. Monica is a mentor to me and I value her knowledge and skills. One thing I love is her honesty, and that she genuinely wants to help people achieve their greatness in every aspect of their lives. I would recommend Monica to anyone who is in need of, not only Business Coaching, but Life and Lifestyle Coaching.

Leapfrog Training Testimonial from Ingrid Moffatt
Monica takes on a client and works with them from every angle. She listens, shows empathy and can take the hard line if necessary. Monica can quickly work out what is important in her clients’ lives at any point in time. She plans ahead, prepares and can often be thrown off course by the client’s life events prior to the meeting. Monica is like a ships sextant – she can tell you where you are at, at any point in time and then assists to help you find the tools to navigate yourself confidently through life. Monica is a real life coach in the truest form. There should be an App for her!
Kind regards
