Celebrating Our 20th Year in Business!

MONICA OAKLEY, President


Monica Oakley founded PPI in 1989 after 18 years as an educator, director of training, author and national speaker. Monica received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Michigan and received post-graduate certification as a nurse practitioner in Women’s Reproductive Health.

Monica was one of the first nurse practitioners in Michigan prior to her move to Atlanta. At Emory University/Grady Memorial Hospital Monica was a Director of Education and Training in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Division of Family Planning and on the clinical faculty of the School of Medicine. During this time she developed her presentation skills as a speaker and consultant throughout the United States.


Prior to founding PPI, Monica held a management position with BlueCare Network, a Michigan based HMO and then entered the private sector as a senior training consultant with a marketing and advertising firm. Monica works closely with executives, human resource professionals, and internal training teams to ensure return on their training investment. She has conducted training in 46 States, Canada, South America and Europe and is a frequent guest speaker for regional and national conferences.

Client Testimonials & Comments

“Most effective presentation skills training I’ve received in 15 years of sales
  experience.”

“ A model presenter who teaches by example.”

“Impressive! Professional—doesn’t pull any punches.”

“ The most worthwhile training I’ve had in years—I will use your
   techniques.”


I have known and worked with Monica Oakley for almost 20 years and continue to make effective use of Monica's coaching and teaching, utilizing her team building and communication programs for my team - with excellent results. When I joined Wyeth nine years ago, 1 found myself with a team that had very little leadership and/or communication training. One of the first things I did was to contact Monica and schedule a Team Building and Communication meeting with Monica and my management team. She also worked directly with each of my direct reports.

With the tools and training that she provided to my Wyeth team members, I was able to build a highly functional leadership team. I would highly recommend Monica for work as an executive coach. When you hire Monica, you not only get a person who has and can teach exceptional communication, leadership, and presentation skills, but you will be working with one of the best in her field.

I have worked with Monica Oakley, President of PPI and her associates since 2004 on projects to improve our team's communication skills. She has also provided personal coaching skills to a number of low high performers. Monica and her team provided effective and targeted sessions directed at helping our teams and individuals communicate more effectively for improved business and personal outcomes. Her profile tools were easy to use and provided powerful insight to one's own styles of communication, leadership, etc.

I have found Monica's coaching in my own private sessions to be among the best personal development opportunities of my entire 30 year professional career. I have often told Monica that besides my education and own hard work, I consider her coaching to be the most important success factor in my current tenure at Wyeth.

I have had the pleasure of working with Monica Oakley in two very interesting and exciting situations. Responses to the resulting programs have been nothing short of spectacular with demands for these programs to be repeated this year.


The first (Sunstar Americas Inc) involved the development of selling skills in a US based sales team devoted to selling to Dental professionals and to channel representatives that called on dental offices. The selling team had previously received very limited selling skills support. Monica took what was a team that was fairly skeptical of their own needs and helped to develop a
winning organization over the two years in which I was associated with this company.

The second was really a bit “out of the box” by helping me to develop a program designed to empower dental hygienists to communicate with other members of the dental team resulting in a more satisfying practice experience for them, their associates and their patients.
 

I found Monica to be a delight to work with and look forward to future events knowing that my project will receive the dedication and careful thought that I require. I highly recommend her work.
