A CAREER BUILT ON EXPERIENCE AND PASSION
I spent ten years on the professional tour learning what is really at stake on match point. What allows you to hold up under pressure, bounce back after a setback and keep moving forward. I became the first Belgian woman to break into the world Top 10 and I won an Olympic medal.
When I left the tour, another kind of learning began: leading a team and a tournament, starting my own business and continuing to train — without interruption for more than twenty years.
Today, I am a speaker, coach and human performance expert. I turn the lessons of elite sport into concrete levers that individuals and teams can use in their daily work.

My vision & my approach
I believe in a deeply human kind of performance: not about always doing more, but about drawing on the right energy, at the right moment, to move forward with clarity and go the distance.
Performance doesn't happen by chance. It's built through action, practice, learning and constant improvement.
What works in sport also applies to the business world.
It is this conviction that guides each of the principles below.
Sport has been my ground for learning and experimenting. There I went through pressure, doubt, failure, pushing my limits and rebuilding. Today, I draw on that experience to help you tackle your own challenges.
The way we act, decide and interact depends directly on our physical, mental and emotional energy. When one dimension weakens, the whole balance is affected. Learning to understand, preserve and draw on your energy profoundly changes the way you perform.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every approach is tailored to your specific challenges, your needs and the realities of your everyday work.
I ask questions, challenge your ideas and share my observations. My role is to help you find your own answers and put them into action.
Perfection holds us back. Striving for excellence moves us forward.
I give my best and encourage you to do the same. Together, we move forward, adapt, learn and grow, without the pressure of having to get everything right.
An intervention should never be just a good moment. It should leave a mark, spark movement and keep producing its effects long after we meet. That is where real change begins.
An ecosystem of experts: I don't work alone
I’m surrounded by a network of experts and coaches I know personally and work closely with. Some share my areas of focus, bringing their own perspectives and experiences. Others offer complementary expertise that enriches what I do.
Anouk Doore
I combine more than ten years of experience as a consultant and manager in the corporate world with the elite-athlete mindset I developed as a ski mountaineer. I have enriched this unique combination with coaching training, numerous workshops and certifications such as NASM and EXOS. Today, I am a human performance coach and habit expert: I help leaders, teams and organizations bridge the gap between knowing and doing through an evidence-based approach.
“I believe in the power of consistent action, with the mindset of an elite athlete and PACE’s proven, evidence-based approach.”
Axelle Golinvaux
A certified executive coach and keynote speaker, I draw on nearly twenty years of corporate experience. I support leaders, managers and teams on leadership, team dynamics, psychological safety, stress and resilience, with an approach that is pragmatic, science-based and firmly grounded in real-world practice.
I like to create a space that is both safe and stimulating. My sessions are dynamic, interactive and lively: we share, we experiment, we move and we laugh too. I make a point of quickly building a real connection between participants, so that the group itself becomes a resource for learning and growth.
Liesbet Van Breedam
As a psychology counselor and former Olympic beach volleyball athlete, I support athletes, professionals and teams in developing resilience, leadership and sustainable performance, combining my experience in elite sport with the science-based insights of positive psychology.
Growth starts with yourself: I believe in a sincere, committed and people-centered approach, which means searching together for what truly works for you or your team.
Florence Pérès
I am an expert in digital balance, focus and change management.
I give professionals the tools to navigate turbulent times, adapt to constant change, regain focus and build a healthy relationship with technology. My presentations blend interactivity and entertainment, with a particular focus on how the brain works.
Carolien Van Den Bosche
I give keynotes and run workshops on leadership, human behavior and organizational performance. After a career in corporate banking, I took a close interest in the factors that enable people and organizations to turn their strategies and good intentions into practice.
A clear, practical and dynamic approach that puts interaction with the audience or participants first.
Gaëlle Helsmoortel
An expert in AI for business, I help freelancers and companies use artificial intelligence smartly and practically to save time, automate repetitive tasks and stay at the cutting edge of their industry.
No jargon, no magic formula: I support my clients with a clear method that is immediately applicable and tailored to their reality, so that AI serves their business without making them lose their identity.
Véronique Liesse
Dietitian-nutritionist, micronutrition specialist, microbiome expert, teacher, corporate keynote speaker and author of numerous books.
I love making science understandable and directly applicable, without dogma or fads, so that everyone can make informed food choices that suit their needs, in complete freedom.
Pauline Six
Pauline is an executive & team coach, PCC-certified (ICF), specializing in supporting leaders, teams and governance bodies (boards of directors). With more than 20 years of experience in consulting, coaching, training and change management, she combines strategic vision with pragmatic execution, through a positive, results-oriented approach.
(she moves with ease in multicultural environments, in multinationals and SMEs alike)
Attentive to both substance and form, Pauline puts trust, clarity of message and fresh perspectives at the heart of the dialogue, so that each person or the team as a whole can decide and move forward in a sustainable, informed way.
They share their experience
Over the past three years, I have worked with Dominique, sometimes very closely, on development bootcamps, workshops and conferences, and she consistently stands out. She skillfully blends the lessons of her elite sports career, coaching and self-awareness into a grounded, deeply human approach that truly resonates with teams.
She creates a space for reflection, listening and rich exchanges, while being impeccably organized and a real pleasure to work with.
We had the pleasure of welcoming Dominique Monami to the Start it Academy, and the impact was immediate. She combines authenticity and clarity, which makes her experience particularly relevant for entrepreneurs.
I have had the pleasure of working with Dominique Monami on several occasions, for talks on a wide range of themes: the champion mindset, resilience, the ability to question yourself, the balance between body and mind, sources of energy… and each time in front of a different audience.
Beyond her complete mastery of these subjects, it is her human quality that leaves a lasting impression. Dominique is exceptionally warm and kind, always available and able to adapt to any situation. She shares her experience with as much enjoyment as professionalism, and turns her journey into a genuine source of inspiration for those who listen to her.
A speaker I recommend without hesitation.
