About
Emmy

Emmy Monticelli is the founder of Momentum Leadership Solutions, Inc., where she helps managers and leaders unlock their potential through self-awareness, authentic connections and purposeful action with practical and measurable solutions. With over two decades of experience across retail, service, and corporate sectors—including key leadership roles in Learning & Development—Emmy brings a rich, real-world perspective to leadership development.

Her journey into leadership is rooted in a lifetime of rich experiences and continuous learning. Shaped by working in her family’s business, Emmy understands the importance of relationships, the dynamics of working with different personalities, and the challenge of making difficult decisions. After graduating college, Emmy chose to forge her own path and was quickly promoted into management roles where she found herself leading and training others with limited formal leadership training at first. These experiences provided her with valuable lessons and helped her realize that the hardest person to lead is often oneself, an insight that now forms the cornerstone of her leadership philosophy. This understanding drives her approach as she believes every good leadership action stems from a place of purpose and presence.

In 2016, she founded Momentum Leadership Solutions, Inc. to develop and support emerging and mid-level leaders with practical and personalized learning experiences. Emmy’s transformational workshops are known for blending insight with action for maximum impact and focus on developing Emotional Intelligence, enhancing communication, navigating conflict, and managing stress. Leaders leave these learning sessions with tangible tools and skills to implement immediately with methods to measure their impact back on the job. Her diverse certifications have helped form her facilitation style that reflects her holistic view of leadership development. Her approach is tailored, dynamic, and grounded in real-life challenges—helping leaders gain clarity + confidence in their communications, navigate stress + uncertainty, and lead with purpose + alignment towards positive, productive outcomes.

Emmy excels at curating custom learning experiences that target each organization’s specific goals while creating meaningful, personalized learning for each learner. Whether working with first-time supervisors or senior executives, she has the unique ability to build trust quickly and engage various audiences through her dynamic delivery, approachable style, and authentic way of sharing her personal lessons learned.

Outside of her work, Emmy is an outdoor enthusiast who cherishes time with her family giving back to her community. She enjoys reading, writing poetry, taking art classes with her daughter, and tackling obstacle courses with her son. These personal passions infuse her work with warmth and relatability, deepening her connection with the leaders she serves.

Through Momentum, Emmy continues to energize leaders toward personal and professional growth—helping them take productive actions to inspire their teams and create lasting impact.
