As our business continues to grow, we are very excited to welcome Monique Kavelaars to the team as Director, Assessments & Team Coaching.
Monique is the embodiment of Third Factor’s belief in the value of cross-pollinating the best thinking across sport and business. An Olympic fencer, she competed at the World Championships, Pan Am Games, and Olympic Games in 2004 – and brings over 15 years of experience supporting high-performing teams first in elite sport and now in corporate environments.
She holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology from York University, is certified in numerous assessment tools, and has helped leaders and teams across North America, Europe, and Asia strengthen leadership, boost team cohesion, and create the conditions for meaningful collaboration.
Alongside her work, Monique continues to contribute to the Canadian Olympic community, most recently serving as an Athlete Mentor at the Tokyo 2020 Games, and currently serves as Vice President of the Canadian Fencing Federation.
As Third Factor’s Director of Assessments & Team Coaching, Monique will draw on her expertise with assessment tools and years of team coaching to maximize the impact of the assessment tools we use in our programs, ensuring that individuals and teams leave with actionable insight about themselves and their colleagues.
Beyond her skills, her belief in the value of both strong coffee and humour will make sure we are never short of energy! Welcome to the team, Monique!
