WHEN IT COMES TO NAVIGATING CORPORATE LIFE, WE HAVE ALLLLL BEEN THERE...
→ Spilling your guts about office politics to your work bestie or well-meaning family members, only to get outdated advice (or that glazed-over look) that's just... not it.
​
→ Power-posing in the office bathroom before that "casual chat" with your manager about leveling up... only to feel like you're shouting— with all due respect, of course into the corporate void.
​
→ Trying to find a not-so-stuffy networking group to join for support... Except meetings just turn into small talk or vent-til-we-drop sessions. Yeah, a girl's gotta get stuff off her chest, but when do you actually take action?!
​
So here's the thing... If this feels like you're daily re-run, then it's time for a change.
Every moment spent feeling lost, unsupported, or undervalued at work is a potential missed opportunity.
When you try to navigate all of your career challenges solo, doubling down on working hard and just hoping you’ll get recognized, you’ll eventually find yourself stalling out. Ever looked around and felt like your peers are somehow lapping you, even though you know your performance is on point? Yeeeeah.
And look, to be completely honest? It’s BS that just working hard isn’t enough. It’s no secret that us women, especially women of color, often have to navigate the work world with twice the strategy to unlock the success we deserve. It's frustrating and ridiculously unfair.
But while we can't change the game overnight, we can sure as hell get better at managing it. With the right support and learning to advocate fiercely for ourselves, we’re not just showing up to play—we can redefine the game and even make it our own.
HERE'S THE BEST KEPT SECRET WHEN IT COMES TO CAREER SUPPORT FOR WOMEN...
(AND NO, I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TO GO TO ANOTHER NETWORKING EVENT)
We’ve all heard that “it’s all about who you know” line, but it’s also how you get to know people that can make a huge difference for your career. And peer mentorship is one completely underrated ingredient to success.
Let me just leave this here…
Research shows that when women mentor women, it’s a two-way street with big benefits. Both ladies glow up and learn together, regardless of how senior they are (or aren’t!).
Even more receipts: studies are clear on the fact that diverse groups make all the difference. So much growth (and new, open doors!) comes out of support networks that include women from all kinds of industries, levels, and backgrounds.
And finally: without a mentor (or a group of smart, ambitious, fabulous females backing us up), climbing the ladder is clearly harder. It’s literally proven that we rise by lifting each other up.
YOU DESERVE CAREER GUIDANCE THAT'S AS MODERN, RELATABLE AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY REAL AS YOU ARE
CORPORATE MAVENS IS YOUR HOME FOR GROUP COACHING & PROFESSIONAL MENTORSHIP
Welcome to the career you've been craving...
WHAT IS CORPORATE MAVENS?
Corporate Mavens brings ambitious, thoughtful women together through monthly webinars that spark powerful lightbulb moments, mentorship calls that keep it real, and a 24/7 Slack channel where you're never without your tribe of career cheerleaders.
Because it’s time for stiletto-sharp clarity on your career desires. No more second-guessing. No more sitting back and watching everyone else go for what they want. (Steve, putting his hand up again for a promotion, while you wait? Ma’am!)
It’s time to be seen and heard, at work and even beyond. There’s a confidence ready to get unlocked inside of you! With dedicated support, you can straighten that crown, stride into meetings, and speak your ideas (and yes, they’re your ideas) with authority.
And it’s time to step into the shoes of a fully empowered woman who advocates for herself. Whether you’re facing a toxic colleague, a tricky relationship with your boss, or an open role that you’d be perfect for, there’s no situation you can’t learn to take on with grace and grit.
With a signature blend of group coaching and mentorship, you’ll have the support to set your sights on what you want and the courage to go for it. And trust—with every step, you’ll be building up the respect (and the paycheck!) you deserve.
CAN YOU SEE IT ALREADY?
Listennn, with the right coach + squad by your side, the possibilities are literally endless. You, channeling some unapologetic badassery, taking on a career change you've always dreamt of but never had the guts to pursue? Let’s dive in. Eyeing a promotion? With a group that has your back with tons of insights and encouragement, the view from the top’s about to look pretty damn good. Ready to position yourself as a leader? You can flex new skills and level up so now, you’re not just another employee—you’re a force to be reckoned with.
You don’t have to just dream about a bigger paycheck, more meaningful work, or a fulfilling career that you’re honestly proud of. As a Maven, you’ll get the support to make those goals a reality.
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT...
"TONYA HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF MY CAREER DEVELOPMENT."
"She’s a wonderful mentor and coach, and each coaching session provided me with so much insight. Above all, I appreciate how she took the time to truly understand my journey and genuinely became one of my biggest cheerleaders. I highly recommend her services and coaching to everyone—she will help you harness your power!"

Monthly Webinars & Challenges
We’ll pull back the curtain on whatever topics you’re interested in—no corporate hush-hush here! Each webinar also gets paired with a tailored challenge, making sure that you’re not just absorbing info but actually getting a chance to apply it.
Expert Career Coaching
I don’t just talk the talk—I’m walking the walk right alongside you! As a Career Coach and serial top performer (who can relate?!) at Fortune 500 companies, I’ve got the insight that comes from being a 9-5 Corporate Maven myself as well as the skill to coach you through the tough stuff. I’m here for you whenever you need a mindset shift, a new insight, or a boost of encouragement in the community.
Ongoing Mentor Calls
Every Maven gets personally matched into a pair, because mentorship is a win all around! Pairs are curated based on each Maven’s personality and interests (no awkward office ice-breaker vibes here), and you’ll get to swap insights, ask questions, and grow together.
24/7 Slack Access
Need advice on a tricky situation? Got an awkward work story to share? This is your space round the clock for Qs, WTFs, and virtual water cooler chat with women who just get it. It’s like having a whole team of cheerleaders and mentors at your back, whenever you need them. Go ahead, spill the tea.
New Friends & Work Besties
Who said career growth can't be fun? Work stuff can get soooo serious, and let’s be honest—as adults, it can be hard to find opportunities to make new friends! But from sharing oh-so-relatable moments to having that shoulder to lean on during tough days, new connections with Mavens can enrich your life in beautiful, unexpected ways.

Now you’re opening doors to opportunities, collaborations, and insights that can be game-changers in your career journey.

WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING...
"IN JUST A FEW SHORT WEEKS, I HAVE WAY MORE CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY IN WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN MY CAREER, SOMETHING I THOUGHT WOULD TAKE ME SO MUCH LONGER TO FIND."
"​I wasn't sure if a career coach would be able to help me figure out what it is I want to do, but Tonya's methodology, demeanor, and breadth of knowledge made me decide that she was the one to work with—she's the full package!
In addition to more clarity, I'm also organically thinking like Tonya, which has helped me have more confidence to seek opportunities I would not have!

EMPOWERING WOMEN IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING I DO
I'M TONYA MONTELLA. YOUR CAREER COACH, REAL-LIFE CORPORATE MAVEN, & WORK MENTOR.
Like you, I've felt the sting of imposter syndrome, the weight of self-doubt, and the struggle to find my voice in the workplace.
I used to think that I could keep my head down and outwork everyone else and that opportunities would just come my way. That worked for a while—until it didn’t, and I realized I needed to make a shift from shy and soft-spoken to a self-advocating professional.
Along the way, I’ve transitioned careers SIX times (you read that right, and yes, on purpose!) and climbed that corporate ladder in every single one. From facing age, gender, and racial biases to juggling the roles of a boss, mom, wife, and entrepreneur, I've danced through it all. And I did it mostly solo, without the guidance I so deeply craved.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO OTHER WOMAN FEELS LOST OR ALONE IN HER CAREER JOURNEY
AND I'M HERE TO BE THE MENTOR FOR YOU THAT I NEVER HAD.
And while I might spill the tea with you like we're lifelong friends (preferably over a glass of wine, my personal fav), I also bring a unique professional perspective.
I'm not just a Career Coach. I'm also still a hiring manager and an individual contributor. So, when I share advice, it's not from the past tense. It's from the ground, where I still face challenges and navigate workplace intricacies daily.
I hope you’ll come join me and your fellow Mavens to turn those career dreams into reality, straightening each other’s crowns along the way!
-
What if I'm not as advanced in my career as other women in the community?Mavens of all levels, from all industries, are welcome here! This is an intentionally diverse community where we believe that every woman has strengths to offer. No matter where you are in your career, you have personal experiences, unique ideas, and encouragement to share. That’s the magic of peer mentorship!
-
How does peer mentorship work? Do you have to have a senior role in order to be a mentor?Mavens at all levels of their career have something to give & receive, so mentorship can be mutual. If you’re a young professional, you have fresh perspectives, new ideas, and lots of encouragement to share. And even if you’ve got decades of corporate life under your belt, you can still learn from experiences outside of your own niche and industry.
-
What if I'm unemployed or looking for a job?We’ve got your back! Although the community isn’t primarily for jobseekers, it is meant to support women throughout their entire journey, so don’t let that stop you. You’re more than welcome to join, participate, get support, and offer your own ideas to all of your fellow Mavens, too.
-
I'm nervous about opening up to strangers. Is this a private space?I completely get it—being honest about work struggles can be vulnerable, and you want your trickiest work stuff to stay confidential. All Mavens pledge that everything personal that comes up on calls or on Slack cannot be shared outside the group. If you have any particular concerns about this, please ask me!
-
How much time should I set aside to participate in the community?I recommend joining each month’s webinar live (one hour!), but from there, it’s up to you. You and your mentor match can schedule calls whenever’s convenient for you, and you have Slack access 24/7. Because you tend to get out of group coaching programs what you give, catching up with the community at least a few times a week will help keep you up to speed and ready to ask a Q or support another Maven.
-
What if I miss a webinar? Are they recorded?You got it, Maven. Call recordings get dropped into Slack ASAP so that you can catch up (or revisit!) our webinars anytime.
-
What are your payment terms?Membership in the Corporate Mavens community is $444 annually, or $42 monthly. You can cancel the monthly plan anytime. (Honestly, though? I doubt you’ll want to!)
-
I have more questions... I'm still deciding if the membership is right for me!I’m here for you! You’re welcome to book a 15-minute call so we can get to know each other a bit and see if becoming a Corporate Maven is a good fit for you!
-
How do the video modules work? Can I access them at any time?Everything's hosted in an online portal, so all you need is an internet connection and you're good to go. You can watch the video lessons anytime right in the portal, and the worksheets are a mix of downloadable PDFs and Google Sheets.
