Who we are

Many coaches want to grow their coaching business, but still struggle to attract consistent clients and income. Are you a coach who's: - Struggling with inconsistent income and feeling anxious about the future? - Feeling unclear about your niche or offer, or why you need one? - Second-guessing your pricing or feeling uneasy talking about fees? - Unsure how to lead sales conversations without sounding pushy? - Lost about what to say on social media—or if you should be there at all? - Worried your website isn’t attracting or converting the right clients? - Feeling lost about how to market yourself in a way that feels natural? - Wondering if your offer needs a shift—but don’t know where to start? - Avoiding visibility—even though you know it’s holding you back? - Not sure what kind of strategy would actually work for you? - Wearing too many hats and losing your work-life balance? - Tired of cookie-cutter advice that doesn’t reflect who you truly are? That is me: Monica Cretu After 25+ years in senior marketing and business development leadership across corporate and entrepreneurial organizations, managing teams, budgets, and strategic initiatives in multicultural environments, I founded WalkingTheTalks® Coaching and Consulting in 2021. During my corporate career, I led marketing and growth strategies across industries including retail, FMCG, education, wellness, cosmetics, and e-commerce, collaborating with teams and stakeholders in multiple countries. Having relocated internationally myself, I bring first-hand understanding of cross-cultural leadership and the challenges of building a professional presence in a new environment. My practice serves two communities, with a primary focus on entrepreneurship: - Senior leaders transitioning into entrepreneurship and early-stage service-based entrepreneurs (coaching, consulting, advisory). I help them build sustainable and profitable independent practices through strategic thinking, client acquisition, marketing, authentic positioning, and hands-on implementation, fully personalized to their strengths, personality, and vision. - Established leaders working in international or multicultural environments, strengthening communication, influencing skills, decision-making, relationship building, and personal branding. WalkingTheTalks® is grounded in a simple principle: sustainable growth comes from aligning what we say with what we do, and building careers and businesses that reflect who we are, using approaches tailored to the individual rather than standard frameworks.
